    Actually it was a Denali and it was the color of Crystal.

    If it had been Latino suspects it would have been a low rider with a Negro Modelo paint job.

    If it had been one of the legions of white trashers in Spokane the vehicle would have been a mid 80’s Pontiac Sunburst painted to look like a can of PBR.

    Come on, SR staff, this is the type of reportage that will keep you relevant!

    Nice to see you are not only a bitter, hateful man as shown by your posts about Jim Paton last week, but you are also a racist. It fits.

    Seer: Stereotypes exist for a reason. It’s not SR fault that the suspect at hand is one of the many that fit what many to believe is the black troublemaking stereotype.

    middleman: The post was tongue-in-cheek and poking fun at the SR’s reporting. I understand why you didn’t get that though, it would take an ability to think critically and form nuanced thoughts.

    I wish you could point out what was “bitter” and “hateful” concerning my posts about Paton? Please provide a link to the story and the posts. You won’t, because you can’t.

    BTW, it was nice to see you at Jim’s memorial service.

    NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I guarantee you that the scum who committed this driveby shooting, has a prior criminal record. Why are we letting these bums into our city with a criminal record? If you have a history of violent crime, why should you have the privilidge of living in Spokane? Maybe the Liberals will cry about the “glories” of multiculturalism and diversity. There has been more and more of these crimes occuring in Spokane. I wonder why.I personally think it’s the hordes of criminals infiltrating our city from ghetto southern California.
