The reason I ask is because I don't see the endless black "crime reports" as being either "political news" or even having a political dimension to them, nor do they involve any "domestic policy" that is in dispute -- like say the SYG laws in the Zimmerman case. They are posted there by the usual suspects not for their political news or domestic policy content, but rather simply to get the predictable abusive but accurate responses. They are posted there as far as I can tell ONLY because it is the most viewed and used board, as opposed to "general discussions" where it would be more appropriate, and where they can freely commiserate about their total loss of a sense of security around black people and other "others".
The only political dimension they have to them is the none to subtle way they are used by racists or their enablers to instill or maintain fear of "the other" (like that vast army of new black panthers at the voting booths) in the pants/betwetting crowd, and are only posted by members of it, kinda the way Goebbels and crew got most Germans hating jews, unions, socialists, gypsies, and gays, before they started baking and gassing them.
When one thinks about the related issues of Political News and Domestic Policy where criticisms and disagreements arise, like over taxes, the ACA, etc, one usually doesn't think about a common "crime blotter" or the content of one, because the domestic policy is arrived at politically by the enactment of laws against this and that. Nobody disputes for example, that the "knockout game" is a crime, but other than the racial element found and promoted in it, where's the political news or domestic policy value to be found? Giving some racist rube the idea that all he has to do to get away with shooting a few black kids is to say they tried to play the game in some SYG state?
I think maybe we should all start to dilute and pollute the PN and DP board with things like "Black Fireman saves White Kitten from Black Doberman!!"...
