Re: Re: Ronnie White, Accused of Killing Cop, Lynched in PG County Jail
Date Edited: 02 Jul 2008 01:28:06 PM
I am very sorry for his mother's loss; however, did she express outrage for his victims -- and there were many of them. Cpl Findley was the latest, but not by any means the last. In his 19 years on the earth, Mr. White had ammassed a criminal record dating back several years. He callously and deliberately took another life. Where is the sorrow for this policeman and his family?
I feel no sorrow for Mr. White. My sorrow is for his victims, including his mother who must now bury a son.

Good luck keeping your views on this site.
People are calling this a lynching.
But if it had happened anywhere else, they would celebrate it as vigilante justice.
And I agree, this is not a racial issue.
No one even knows the race of officer who killed Mr. White.
If anything, perhaps Mr. White is the racist one for killing Cpl. Findley.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Ronnie White, Accused of Killing Cop, Lynched in PG County Jail
those persons speaking on lynching are incorrect. lynching is defined as:
verb: To execute without due process of law, especially to hang, as by a mob.
[Short for lynch law.]
noun: putting a person to death by mob action without due process of law
therefore, he was lynched.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Ronnie White, Accused of Killing Cop, Lynched in PG County Jail
From the AP:
"White, 19, was arrested early Saturday on charges of ramming a stolen pickup truck into police Cpl. Richard Findley. Findley had gotten out of his police cruiser Friday while trying to conduct a traffic stop on the truck. White allegedly struck him and dragged him for a short distance in the community of Laurel."

I did not know Cpl. Findley. I do not know if he was a bully with a badge or a man of valor. But what I do know is that I have no desire to live in a world where there are no police. In an ideal world, we would not need them. However, our reality is that we have a world full of Ronnie Whites who think the rules do not apply to them. As a result, we have police officers who provide that "check and balance" to ensure the safety of those of us who do play by the rules.
Cpl Findley, whether a "typical pig cop" or a man of honor, deserves the benefit of the doubt. I, for one, give him that. I believe he was simply doing his job...just as Mr. White was doing his job of being a crimminal.
