I think why many are upset here, is because of liberal racial biases that we are supposed to make excuses for ghetto culture and the bad choices these young men made.

They throw out the racist chum and the sharks circle and so the cycle continues ad nauseam. The stereotypical response to the baiters is to blame the thug culture and bad parenting. What gets shuffled aside is individual identity and responsibility.

Group think is counter productive, no matter which area of the spectrum it comes from.

There is not nearly enough ridicule of the thug culture.

Look how people like Bill Cosby get shouted down when he dares speak out against it.
