We know why.

This is so sad. Repubs will use the death of someone to further their agenda. This is disgusting. Plucking GHOULS.

Didn't the Democrats, use the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Freddie Gray, to further their Racist agenda? You don't think the illegal immigrant, should not be here? Have you paid any attention at all, of the crime committed by illegal immigrants. Why is it, when someone speaks the truth, about issues, you are always the first one to make negative comments. One more thing, do you really want to know what is really sad? Blacks blaming their problems on a flag. The flag did not kill the people in Charleston. That stupid SOB Roof did. The reason Obama has not made a statement, is because she was White. Has any of the other Racists, Sharpton, Jackson made any comments?

It was reported that this illegal man was not shooting at this young lady and it was more like an accident . The Roof guy sit in the church and had prayer service with the 9 people and murder them . The only thing in common are they're all dead and a gun was used to kill them.However Trayvon Martin , Freddie Gray and Michael Brown was killed by the people who were suppose to be serving and protecting the public with taxpayers funds. That Flag in SC needed to come down ,as for West and his opinion ,well that's just it his opinion and he 's entitle still don't make it right .He's an attention whore. What do you expect.

Well said QueezE. Carbob is such a fake and a liar. If any of the people he quoted had said anything he and his cohorts would be the first ones to try and tear them down. Notice I said "TRY". All one has to do is refresh their minds with previous posts. Racists try to make a black and white issue about everything...it's in their DNA.

Mr. West is a man, who put his life on the line. for his country. He deserves all the respect he is awarded.

Mr. West is not the only MAN that has put his life on the line that deserves respect. ALL military men and women that served their country willingly deserve RESPECT.

And another thing...before you heap praise on Uncle West about his military service I suggest you do a little research...he resigned his commission to avoid being court-martialed. Look it up Carbob.

I am well aware of the incident, involving Mr. West. Doesn't change my opinion about him.

That is the hypocrisy of ALL repubs. You can see everyone's short-comings but your own. How sad and pathetic.
