"The child, black or white, should not have been there. Where were the parents?"

The child being 'there', like MANY other children IS NOT the problem.
Him being murdered (and no other) by a bunch of white supremacist sadists is the problem!

Obviously parents (if and when it is their choice) don't allow their children in those places so that they can be killed by a bunch of thugs.

"one of the guards being charged is an African-American"

One African American is not the same as Black 'officerS'!

And
having a black face or few for feign 'legitimacy' doesn't prevent the incident from being racist.

Merely integrating a black face to not appear completely racist doesn't change the those places, who create them, and the method by which they are run.

First of all, this child was physically ill. WHY did his parents put him in this place to begin with if he had sickle cell? A "Boot Camp" is no place for a sick child be it physical or mental. Secondly, I'm a white female, 37 years of age. My BEST friend is a 47 year old black man. He is my 2 year old daughters Godfather. I also have a black girl friend who calls me Sister. I hate racism. I'm not stupid, I know it's out there, and I HATE it. But I think it is WRONG to blame me, because I'm white, for something that happened hundreds of years ago. It's hard for me to understand that. I don't approve of what went on all those years ago, it was wrong, but why am I to blame? That's the feeling I get from people like Agnim. I feel like you hate me for being white. How does that make you any different from a white racist? You have a huge grudge on your shoulder, and although I can't see you when you're posting your comments, I can sense the rage in your words, and it's scary.
The people who did this to this child will have alot to answer for one day. It sickens me. It sickens me to know that my daughter has to grow up in this crazy world.
Some bad things have happened to me, my family and my friends, things beyond comprehension. But I blame the individual(s) who committed the acts, not their mothers, fathers, siblings, cousins or children. Please explain where you're coming from because I don't understand!
God bless Martin Lee Anderson, may he rest in peace.

Hey Agnim

What'cha smokin'? Facts are facts, one of the guards being charged is an African-American. If you want to spew hatred go right ahead, you are part of the problem, not the solution. Watch the video! What happened is a travisty. I am from the Panama City and I went to protest with many others, of all races at the Correctional Facility where this happened. My kind? You have no idea about my kind! Until you stop YOUR hater mongering...I would rather you just shutup.

Another bad, new idea.

"But it was a black man that sold the black man to the white s### heads."

That's patented rubbish and the usual racist revisionist history.

Moreover IT WOULD NOT BE your 'selling' of Blacks that was the problem.

It was the UNPROVOKED INVASION AND KIDNAPPING ACROSS THE SEAS INTO ENSLAVEMENT!
That was the problem! Get it, little mind?

I am a nurse. There is no way that I would have stood by and watched this happen. The nurse deserves the stiffest penality of all. Lose of her license and a lot of jail time. Exercise ok but the beating is unconsciousable.

[monireed]

justice is overdue... they murdered a child... their actions were beyond criminal! heartfelt sympathy and support to the Anderson family.

[sharncedar]

What they do in Iraq they'll do here.

This is only going to get worse. Talk to some of these rich and elite people who are behind our brutal police state, and you'll see they have no regard for your humanity, just raw greed and competitive urges for their own personal satisfactions and supremacy.

I think the guilty parties should be put to death if they have video supporting their guilt and it's beyond a shadow of doubt that they actually killed him with their reckless care.

No sense in caging dogs that maim, cripple and kill, sooner or later they get out and someone gets hurt again or worse.

Forgive the dogs, but put a humane end to them!

If he was an adult, they'd have been "justified" in doing what they did, video or no video.

But in this case it was a kid.

All the more reason to put an end to them so they are out of the way!
