Of course I'm a bad man for noticing.
I noticed that too. The article mentions that the killers wrote racial slurs on the walls of the house and the bodies, to make it look like it was a hate crime, but no mention that the perps were black. The four had also committed a "similar home invasion" in Oceanside a month earlier. No one was killed, but by the word "similar", do they mean they raped someone and wrote racial slurs all over the place? No details are offered for that crime.
