"...The blonde man left in his car.... Yes, if the perp had been a black man no mention of skin or hair color would have been tolerated by the press. Sensitivity to the minorities must be observed, especially by the AP.

Also, if the victims had been Black, they would have labeled it A HATE CRIME!

Avoiding the drunks at games is best.

Outrageous.

Through a thread on StateFans.com, I found that Timothy Johnson's personal webpage is still up on NCSU's servers.

BTW, the guys in custody are from my county.

Brothers held for football murders

"He shouldn't have pointed out to a drunk guy with a gun where those guys were. He knows that now."

What I first thought as well, based on the way the story was written. But...The guy probably had the gun out of view, and it's possible he added the S&W .38 comment after getting directions. More plausible?

And who trusts the AP to be accurate anyway? The poor guy that gave directions to the murderer is probably way distraught. Did the AP make him appear to be a total fool and also complicit in the murders?

[Pharmboy]

Good point...the story had the guy feeling very guilty, that's why I thought he saw the gun, but he might not have.
