Politically Correct Media Gone Wild

[Parallax]

This from video and news article on the KDVR TV (Denver,CO) webpage. It's from an article published today about a guy losing a finger when a thief stole a new iPad at a local mall....

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The surveillance tape shows the suspect, <span style="text-decoration: underline">apparently a black male</span>, rushing out another door as Jordan holds his hand in pain. </div></div>

Amazing....

Can't be sure it's a male from the photo.

What's PC about it - what'd I miss?

Seemed pretty accurate, described it pretty brutal.
Clearly a black male by the video.

More people should study a Martial Art and PRACTICE self-defense techniques.

Don't carry things wrapped around fingers.

I woulda been all over that guy, make em pay philosophy...

ahh yes it probably isnt the guy on tape either and we should never defend ourselves or our property too

I think this is mostly about a common misuse of the word "apparently".

I am <span style="font-style: italic">anxious</span> to see if this guy gets caught.
<span style="font-style: italic">Irregardless</span> or whether he is caught or not, I think it's a sad commentary on our society.

The victim <span style="font-style: italic">should of</span> had a better grip on his new toy.

I'm sure he'll sue Apple for placing his purchased item into such a dangerous bag which didn't contain specific instructions written in 6 different languages, warning people of the dangers associated with wrapping it around one's fingers.

I hope the guy who stole it was run over by a truck shortly thereafter.

He stole a prototype and will be plagued with problems and software updates. Hebwill end up probably returning it anyway.

I think the <span style="font-style: italic">italics</span> were meant to signify that Tucker was being facetious... That's Spanish for funny.

I think profiling people with grammar and spelling issues is unconstitutional.

I believe that AZ won't be the only state. I have heard that other states may join AZ.... That would be a pandemic of common sense,....that should be outlawed, we aren't supposed to have any.

Re: Politically Correct Media Gone Wild

I wouldn't worry about it much smoke. sooner or latter the AZ police are going to accidentally deport the "too tan" son of some rich white lawyer for not having his papers handy; and that will be the end of all that common sense.
