Most of it seems to be about the [African descended] witness, not the actual racist crime.
And before you jump to conclusions such as yours, how many similar crimes occur across the country per year? (rhetorical). It could be that the media simply decided to not report another one, especially since there were no apparent deaths as a result of the crime.
Some of us have been following the crime since it was first reported. Please follow some of the links earlier in the thread for more info on this crime.
Some police officers have said this type of crime is almost unheard of. We know of one recent mob attack (also by black perps, as it turns out) in Las Vegas like this, last summer.
Some of us think this is definitely news, of great interest sociologically, and a very good benchmark to measure the fruits of political correctness, where hate crimes are of national importance but only if whites are the perps.
No deaths yet. The media and the Court sure seem to be facilitating the targeting of the witness.
You CAN'T be serious!!!!
