I don't really accept Chomsky as a reliable source but for purposes of this response I will assume for the moment that such hijackings really happened.

Say there was a racial riot. Say that blacks were prosecuted for the whites that they killed, but the whites who killed blacks were not prosecuted. This would be considered an outrage. That is exactly what is happening, and you are going along with it.

OK lets use the racial riot analogy. You are saying that the black killers should not be prosecuted and you point to the fact that whites have killed as well. I am saying that if what you say about the white killers is true that they should be prosecuted as well and I am asking for sufficient evidence to charge and prosecute them. I am also saying that either way (whether the whites also killed or not) the convicted black killers should not be let go. There is nothing racist about that.
