Media insults teenage murder victim
16 year old white teen murdered by a black male. The teen was murdered for the fun of it and little, if anything, was even stolen. (The article refers to it both as a “robbery” and an “attempted robbery.”)
The media calls this “an attempted robbery,” and says the victim “was in the wrong the wrong place at the wrong time.” The victim was standing in front of the home of a family friend at 3:25 in the afternoon!
Apparently the “wrong place” means anywhere in the proximity of young black males. The “wrong time” is anytime.
The body remains in Michigan and the family can not afford to have it brought home to Pennsylvania.
If the races had been reversed, this would be a major national news story. The media would be screaming “hate crime.”
From Northhampton County News…
A 16-year-old Walnutport area boy was murdered last week in Michigan and a 29-year-old has been charged with the crime, according to Michigan authorities.
Joshua Stepp was “in the wrong place at the wrong time” when he was robbed and then shot to death about 3:25 p.m. June 11 at the Westwood Heights, a mobile home park near Interstate 75 in Mount Morris Township, according to township police Lt. Matt Lasky.
Stepp’s mother, April Stepp-Gross, said her son had gone to Michigan to help a friend move and to attend a memorial service. Stepp-Gross said she last saw her son, who had been staying with her parents in Lehigh Township, a week before he left earlier this month.
“Had I known this beforehand I wouldn’t have let them go,” Stepp-Gross said this morning, her voice breaking. “I’m just so sad and angry.”
Police say Joshua Stepp was staying in a mobile home at Westwood Heights when Kiunda John Burress, of Mount Morris Township, came to the home with a gun and demanded money from Stepp and the homeowner, according to Lasky. Burress allegedly then shot Stepp and fled. No one else was injured during the attempted robbery, Lasky said.
The summarization of this article as “insulting” is completely appropriate. We have no idea of who the “Express-Times staff” writer is, but an antiwhite bias is obvious. The scare quotes aren’t attributed to anyone and suggests that the writer knows the comment is slang and ambiguous. See what the Urban Dictionary says about this phrase “wrong place, wrong time”. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wrong%20place%20wrong%20time Maybe the writer was mocking the incident?
June 20th, 2012 at 10:22 amThe area is as close to Flint as you can get. The north side to be exact. This is the same area that makes national news occasionally. The area that has been so culturally enriched, it resembles Haiti, or parts of Africa. The local news around here doesn’t mention race or anything. Of course just another murder. Flint is starting to spread through the entire Genesee county area. Most people are blind to it, don’t care or want to hear about it. Beer is flowin, Tigers are on. Who cares. It is disgusting to say the least.
June 20th, 2012 at 4:15 pmLove the repeated reference to “mobile homes”, implying white trash. Meanwhile the article makes an excuse (robbery) for the actions of a wild savage.
