Sad but true...I hate to see people have so much hostility towards a person because they are of a certain race.

Homeless man convicted of killing woman By JIM FITZGERALD, Associated Press Writer

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - A homeless convicted rapist who told police he stabbed a woman to death because she was white was convicted Tuesday of murder as a hate crime.


Jurors found Phillip Grant guilty of second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

Grant, who is black, had admitted killing Concetta Russo-Carriero, 56, last June in a mall parking garage.

"As long as she had blond hair and blue eyes, she had to die," Grant said on a videotaped statement to police, which was shown at the trial. "I have no remorse whatsoever because she was white."

Grant, 44, displayed no emotion as the verdict was read. In the gallery, the victim's family exchanged hugs and kisses.

"Although it won't bring Connie back and that's devastating, at least Mr. Grant will never be able to commit such a heinous crime again against such a beautiful woman," said the victim's cousin, Vincent Scala.

Grant faces a sentence of 20 years to life to a hearing Sept. 11.

Defense lawyer Eugene Traynor had argued that Grant's videotaped confession should not be believed because he also confessed to crimes that may never have occurred. The lawyer told jurors the tape was "an unreliable mess" that showed Grant to be paranoid and delusional.

Traynor also argued that Grant was not properly advised of his rights before confessing and said he would appeal. "The confession was unconstitutionally obtained," Traynor said.

Grant had completed his maximum sentence for a rape conviction and had refused mental-health treatment offered at homeless shelters. He was arrested within minutes of the attack.

The case has spurred calls for a civil commitment law to keep violent sex offenders off the streets even after their time is served.

That's such a senseless killing. Sad how people can hate someone just because they're a different race.

what do you expect when 'our leaders' do it on a daily basis....

::remembers back to a time when googs labeled us all racists and refused to apologize::

Oh, the irony...

Its KARMA...

It used to be...

"White men killed a black (man, woman, child, old man, old woman, girl, boy, baby etc etc ... take your pick) for being black .... "

I remember that...my anger took the best of me...I still refuse to apologize.

Until you acknowledge that we (DrewM, myself, Frogger, and a select few others) are not racist...you get no respect on my account.

Its KARMA...
I put your lovely little anti-semitic line in my sig, but it seems you wish top yourself by attempting to justify racial hate crimes. :D

No

And as for the Jews (though I said I was just kidding); well, there are millions more Arabs in the world than there are Jews, so I could chose the lesser damage, if it was up to me (playing God like your leader) the decision of who should be exterminated.It's just as well, then, that you aren't God. Why exterminate anyone?There is a perfect balance in everything.Excepting, of course, your mind.

They will exterminate themselves, with the help of your leader...

They will exterminate themselves, with the help of your leader...You mean this guy?

and when you die, you gray.


So who you callin'
COLOURED ????

Do tell Decka...When was the last time the US fought anyone with light skin?

Again racism has played an important factor in pushing people toward war. In pushing people towards hate and vengence. Thats why you have stupid ass americans threatening sihks over 9-11. Thinking all muslims are crazed killers. Believing that there is no difference so long as the skin tone matches.

Yes this guy is a racist asshole but look at whats going on in the entire country...

Do tell Decka...When was the last time the US fought anyone with light skin?

When's the last time a predominantly light-skinned country caused a major conflict?

'When was the last time the US fought anyone with light skin'
2005 The State of California v Mr Michael Jackson.
and lost.

Technically, Arabs are not only dark skinned. There are many who have blue eyes and blonde hair. Or have white complexion and black hair mostly seen among Arab women. I think it is just a generalization among the Western World.

no its not

no its not
Poor Arafat, why do I laugh at him so? That picture is funny paul. :)

Do tell Decka...When was the last time the US fought anyone with light skin?The Balkans? And the Cold War wasn't very long ago either.

And as googs mentioned, a lot of Arabs, Persians, and Afghans look like they could be from southern Europe.

Don't bring those up, Jester - you're only muddying the crystal clear waters. How dare you poke holes in the argument?

You mean like Italians.

Some woman!!! WooooW

Because he's funny looking.

When's the last time a predominantly light-skinned country caused a major conflict? about a week ago I'd say....

Look at WW3, the cold war. It was fought primarily between the US and Russia. Its called Cold because no white people really died (cept Vietnam I guess) because after ww2 the major powers saw what happened to their countries after war and had an unspoken agreement to fight by proxy. Why risk your own country when you can entice some other coutry to fight for you. All you have to do is give them some weapons and a little training...

"...Why risk your own..." skin?

What are you doing - other than blathering here - with the convictions you hold? Written any elected officals lately? Been to any marches? Had a letter published in a newspaper? Been to the local cable company to seek time on the public access channel?

yes I have. Whats your point?

12 million people protested the invasion of Iraq prior to its occurence...did it make a difference? There weer no WMD in Iraq and it was well known, did it make a difference?

See your under the disillusion that the government actually serves the people, you're wrong.

There weer no WMD in Iraq and it was well known, did it make a difference?


amazing how we magically knew if there were WMD's in Iraq.. did the "time walker" go back and tell everyone? because i don't remember anyone saying it was "well known" that there weren't WMD's until AFTER the invasion.

Yeah it not like UN weapons inspectors were saying such and asked for a little more time to be positive about it.

Or that a us intelligence gathering operative said that the "proof" of weapons was completely fabricated (and poorly at that)

My what a selective memory you have. Maybe that why were in such a mess...most ideologues don't remember what they don't want to...
