Oh, I see what you're so commited to showing me. We should excuse black or hispanic people who commit crimes because it's part of who they are... they can't help it. Why fight nature, eh? Well let's consider this matter closed, you've done a good job of giving freepers a bad name, and liberals ammo when they call conservatives racists.
