    Sorry that pointing out a media coverage disparity is triggering, I guess?

    You're replying to a poster who whined that he wasn't allowed to use a Nazi symbol as his avatar (check his thread history), so I think it's safe to say you definitely triggered him.

    I live next to where these "nazi marks" where carved into the rock 3000 years before the word nazi was invented. The symbol has been used and is still used to this day here.

    It's etched into churches, farmhouses and it is used as well by the pan European movement.
    It's also used by several native American tribes. Guess they are nazis as well?
    I wanted to use the symbol because it is a heritage from the bronze age, from the place I was raised and all my kin before me.

    I hate the nazis, my country was invaded by them and occupied. Members of my family where sent to interment camps, some even killed.
    And it is in defiance against this horrible ideology that I want to use the symbols they tried to taint.

    And I respect that the discussion has been had, I am not allowed to use it on this site. But I will not have some ignorant bufoons go around
    and claim I am a nazi for wanting to use a symbol that was made several millennia before with a deep meaning for me and my heritage.

    Normally I'd agree with you and take your words at face value, but looking at your post history you seem to be pretty obsessed with race and immigrants, so no I don't give you the benefit of the doubt on this.

    Weren't the parents just as shocked at the girl's death?

    While I will agree I do not have the same respect for all cultures, and NO religions. I have no beef with anyone over the color of their skin or where they are from.
    Yeah, I am probably more restrictive when it comes to immigration and religions, but I dont reckon that would be a good enough reason to call someone a Nazi.

    Well, from my European perspective. I dont know if you are from the US, and they seem to be a lot more sensitive over there.

    Well....it's the classic tao of race in the United States. The yin and the yang. The up and the down. The good and the bad.

    If you're a White person that's gone missing, you'll get a lot more attention than missing People of Color.

    and if you're a White mass shooter, well...you're also going to get a lot more attention than mass shooters of Color.

    Yeah, right. Sounds very likely, that a person who hates the Nazis, who even lost family members to them, would use the symbolism appropriated by said Nazis. And then only to jump to Viking symbolism? I mean, you really like your white supremacy symbolism. Yes, the nostalgia for them is very much that.

    You are full of shit.

    First of all, it is not viking symbolism. It's way older than that.
    And for me it is not a "white supremacy symbol", neither was it for anyone other than actual Nazis.

    I am not giving up on something that was important to my culture and history, just because someone tried to steal it.
    If you want an allegory: I would not throw my daughter out of my home if she was raped by someone.

    I know you probably carry more guilt because your people actually sided with Nazis in the war, and turned coat and left them to die when you started losing.

    If it's not closed to derailment, it'll just get closed because of the non-sequitur into a certain forbidden topic anyway.

    The point is that non-white people go missing all the time, and no one raises a stink about it. But, to their credit, many local news stations ARE now actually talking about missing non-white people. Just hope it sticks (the reporting, not...the people going missing).

    Also, apparently, during the search for these two, they've found nine unrelated bodies, which is a damning condemnation of how the police work if you didn't know how they actually worked already.

    If you can believe that at this point. It is possible they're shocked/scared their son did such a thing and maybe didn't have a hand in helping him escape/whatever, but I can't assume the best or the worst in them because of the same silence they chose.

    im not usually one to go into crazy theories but until they have the dna evidence i dont believe hes dead
    Well then get your shit together.
    Get it all together. And put it in a backpack. All your shit. So it’s together. And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere, you know, take it to the shit store and sell it, or put it in a shit museum, I don’t care what you do, you just gotta get it together.
    Get your shit together

    Someone trying to turn this into a race thread is quite sad. I can and will agree that this single case has received disproportional amount of attention, but it is also serving as a call out about missing women cases as such.

    Yup.
    On the flipside however, if he's missing his teeth he probably wishes he was dead.

    They aren't for the FBI - who is the agency requesting DNA testing to be sure.

    That's probably more about crossing the "t's" and dotting the "i's" than anything else though. Make sure all due diligence was done to confirm it's Laundrie.
