It will get you modded. You need to literally censor facts in news and make it vague so it doesn't offend anyone.

On a side note, I saw a person who may or may not have attacked other people get arrested today. Their race and gender are being withheld.

Because basically every single news outlet lists race, especially when it's a black guy getting shot by a white cop.

...Although those topics are never modded. Hmmm...

Duh, you're only allowed to post race if it's a white guy doing something bad.

TC: Posts hate-filled rant from "community input" page at Breitbart which references an RT article and then gets upset that the topic got modded when it was 100% fake news which used inflammatory speech.

This is what got modded.

The title was "I saw a homeless *redacted* man assault two people today :<"

He also attacked a cop but I didn't see that.

Anyway, I was leaving the mall when I heard screams. I turned to look and I saw a *redacted* guy at a bus stop with his fists in the air as if to say "put up your dukes!". He looked pretty ridiculous, so I kind of assumed he was joking around with a friend. Nope...He punched an elderly man in the face a few times, causing him to stumble backwards and trip over one of the seats at the bus stop. That's when I called the police. Then the bus came, and he picked up a large piece of rubbish from the ground and hit the bus with it.

He then continued walking down the sidewalk, and when he came across a Japanese couple, he shoved the guy to the ground. The dispatcher asked me to follow the man so I could identify him to the police when they arrived. Luckily, there was an officer nearby who was able to get there in a matter of seconds.

The officer parked in the parking lot of a nearby bank and I lost sight of them for a little while. When I caught up, the cop and a random passerby had the hobo restrained against the cop car. From what another witness and the cops said, the hobo stabbed the first officer with a screwdriver. I saw the wound and it was bleeding a decent amount. Not enough to be gushing blood, but enough to make a noticeable mess. Also, the puncture was less than an inch above his chin; if that had been a little bit lower he would've been stabbed in the neck, and things would've been a lot more serious.

They said he's being charged with attempted murder, theft, and other outstanding warrants.


Gotta love all that hate speech.

Never has it ever been "wrong" to include descriptions in a news article or even a title.
Stop propagating this bullshit SJW culture that should have been killed years ago.

That still doesn't answer why it's acceptable to post race when it's a white guy shooting. That's just as "offensive" towards white people.

There is no logic behind it. It's all fee fees. Why stop at race? Mentioning that he was homeless is offensive! Mentioning that it was a man is offensive! News stories can't mention anything regarding the description of the suspect!

Next on America's Most Wanted...We're looking for uhhh, a person, gender and race unspecified, for a series of crimes we can't say. If you see him or her, please give us a call.

Yeah I'm disputing it, and it's pretty hilarious. Here's what he said

Your story would have worked really well even without adding his race into it. It adds nothing to the story, but to draw negative attention to that specific race. You didn't mention whether he was bald or not, or had a beard or not, because that doesn't matter. So why would his race?

As for news outlets, I've never seen one say "A homeless black man assaulted...", but rather "A homeless man assaulted". Maybe you'd see a video or a picture that would show he was black, or a drawing by a sketch artist, but never would they discriminate by race like that. That's not censoring news, that's preventing racism.

I hope you understand the difference here. It's fine if it's eventually revealed what his race is (it might help with finding him, if he ran off, for example), but to target his race specifically (as is what happened in this topic), is not okay.

The bold part is what's so funny. Is he just ignoring how many articles mention race when it involves both a black and white person? Then it's "White man *does something negative to* black man".

I mean, he wasnt wrong, he even gave you a work around so you could include the race via picture >.> why is it so hard for you to leave out a word? Why does this make you so mad?

The fact that they're so hypocritical is what's upsetting. First off, this happened maybe 8 hours ago, so the news hasn't even gotten a hold of it yet. How am I supposed to have a picture? And I would bet my bottom dollar that if I had posted that story without mentioning race but showing a picture, I would still get modded.

And I don't recognize you, so I'm assuming you're new, but there are TONS of "White cop shoots black man" topics. What makes those acceptable?

You can always go back and edit your post if it really means that much to you.

Nah homie I just lurk. I can tell that some of those are done in jest or that they add to the stories. In your situation, it wasnt and it didnt.

You don't need to be serious to be modded. And in all of those stories it's just like mine: race only served to add a description of the people involved. It's not a negative thing; it's just an objective addition to the story.

Care to place a wager on the validity of the story then? Perhaps an account bet? I can guarantee that this incident will be on one of our main local news sites like Hawaiinewsnow.com or KHON2.com soon enough.

That is, of course, unless you're just talking big ;)

I'm not bragging about it. I'm simply restating an interesting thing that happened today. I mean (not that it's a good thing) it's not everyday that you see a crazy guy attack innocent bystanders and a bus. It was pretty obvious that she didn't want me to confront the guy, so I was fine tailing him from a distance.

So what was it did she tell you to follow him or did you do it on your own?

911 would never have you tail anyone

I say this as someone growing up and living in a dangerous part of NYC - I know for a fact they would never have you tail anyone
