New start in N.D. ends with slaying | The Columbus Dispatch

This is so sad. An attempt at a new life and it ends in tragedy. And for those that like to comment on the problems in Columbus, Columbus is not unique - it happens everywhere.

Prayers to the family and friends.

Thes artical isa feeking mess.

That didn't work out so well.

My Prayers go out to the family of this young man! This story breaks my heart!

This ridiculous column is so typical of the Dispatch - they're always trying to stoke up racial tension by playing the "hate crime" card and victimization of blacks.

So they ferret out English professor Marian Ghedi for his slant on the issue, because we all know he's got experience with murder cases and has full knowledge of the victim's background and circle of friends. And I'm sure the professor has experienced so much "hate" here in the C-Bus that he has considered moving back to his homeland.

Funny that the columnist fills us in on the victim's mode of transportation when he traveled to North Dakota, but he fails to mention the race of the 2 suspects, Leron Lee "Ra Ra" Howard & Janelle A. Cave.

A quick Google search brings us this news clip, from MAY 1, 2011 - almost 2 WEEKS AGO:

So we know that Howard is black and Cave is white. So why would the Dispatch bring up the whole "hate crime" issue? Is a murder based on hate? Of course. But was this a racial issue? Let's get real.

North Dakota has had an unusual number of murders in 2011. I believe this may the sixth. Minot has had the majority. I believe this is the first non-white person murdered this year. Hate crime? All murders are hate crimes.

Do you always have to be a sarcastic ___ hole??? Someone was killed...enough said!

Lordy Lordy Lordy Why these white folks have to be all nasty like? Can't they be more cibilized?

Oh, just what we needed in N. Dakota. Another "enclave" of Somalis. Might as well plant colonies of disease throughout the country. Not enough that some perfidious characters are forcing diversity of noncompatible cultures into the U.S. but they also are embedding them into every nook and cranny. Wouldn't want any places to remain American, after all.

You miss the point. They want to remain civilized. They are tired of our own culture being sabotaged. We don't need any more immigration from third world countries.

This link above contains a video which clearly shows that the murder defendants in this case are a pavement ape and an apparent mudshark. Thus, no so-called "hate crime" could have been committed here. The motive behind this murder is more likely to be TNB-related.

Weren't there a bunch of articles out recently about how North Dakota is such a great place to live trying to convince everyone to move there? Not that I was considering it, but, no thanks.

Damn, Somali plague has to go everywhere, get a clue, stay the hell out of ND.

i agree with a previous writer. all murders are hate crimes.
