If they'd been four Anglo punks instead of four Latino punks, there would probably have been a knee-jerk reaction, but the likely outcome would have been the same as it is.

Are you saying if it were whites that shot these 4 black kids execution style, the level of news coverage would be the same as it is now?

It certainly wouldn't be less, and it would be difficult to provide more. So, yeah, about the same. Assuming the same sequence of events -- if there were riots, demonstrations, revenge killings, etc., that would be a different story, more news and more coverage.
