Why is it that the story is: A black dude is angry about John King announcing that the Boston bomber suspect is "dark skinned" and not that: John King is a fucking idiot?

Jesus fucking Christ.

I use one of the slim leather cases from Sena. They keep the phone relatively protected, while not being overly bulky. And when you need to use it, the phone slides out easily.

I am not sure what you're talking about, but in addition to the ordinary reasons relating to your feckless inability to express an idea clearly unless you are standing on a Lepidoptera-branded stage, it may also be because I have spent most of the last fourteen hours simultaneously watching two TV stations and several hundred Twitter feeds.

when the guy said the suspect was dark skinned no one knew these two were the suspects- I didn't make the mistake the guy made, i made the mistake you made of assuming the guy called the actual suspects "dark-skinned."

was the naked guy last night the dead suspect?

I believe the term you are looking for to describe Hank's post is whiff.

How is John King's report that officials were looking for a suspect that was "dark skinned" not calling the suspects dark-skinned?

I thought the King report was made after the actual suspects were identified, and i assumed that was Ty's point- that is, i thought King was referring to these two brothers. and that would have been a very poor choice of words, plus misleading (police reports during the shoot ups described them as "pale.")

but yes i will concede the article linked quoted the man as calling a suspect "dark-skinned." You would have made a great litigator, going for the jugular, with worn down teeth perhaps, but still the instincts are all there.

edit- and someone answer my question about the naked guy

double edit- the linked article did not open at first for me

Still not following, but not sure I care now.

Not unless the police shot him several times and detonated an explosive next to him after he got dressed, which I doubt. That's not how they roll in Watertown.

maybe this is the reason that, even though I told you the outdoor restaurant you had selected for us to meet at "smelled of raw sewage," you didn't offer to pick another?

My point was that literally no ethnic group can be more Caucasian than Chechnyans:

Maybe, but it has more to do with the fact that you didn't understand what I was saying.

Come to think of it, maybe you're onto something.
