Oh, I see.It"s ok to be a racist jerk if you"re anonymous.
Bryn Richards
Bah, stop throwing up the race card and get some perspective.

He's part of the national guard, it's heavily militarised and I would not have a problem with such people having desires to kill people (As long as it's the enemy). The article notes that he was featured in a photo, pointing a gun at some 'black people' in tribal garb. Who knows why he had to do that, the article doesn't make it clear. Calling him a 'racist' based on that one ambiguous line, is like someone getting a picture of a policeman holding a gun at a black person, and then calling that policeman a racist for putting the picture up on a website which is largely about guns.

People such as you, who jump to conclusions based on ambiguous information, should not be throwing up the race card. It's something to be used in situations where there is 'without a shadow of a doubt' proof that racism is at hand.

There is no such proof in this article. So keep it to yourself.
