If the shooter was other than black the “perp” will become the “victim”, if the shooter was black the “perp” will still be the perp and his race, creed, sex, and national origin will be unimportant.
I’ve been following this story on the local 24 hour TV news channel. The only update to the original video of the sheriff’s dept statement is CFN13 edited out the description of the perp being black - that tells me the pizza guy is not black. Things are real touchy around here about news reports including racial descriptions of perps and vics since the Zimmerman trial as they are everywhere, I expect.
