I disagree. They could have just ran out.

They could have not robbed the house in the first place.

That little girl was no threat to them.

Presumably she saw their face and they were responsible for a string of robberies in the neighborhood

They thought so little of that 12 year old girl that they would rather kill her than allow her to possibly ID them.

No doubt they are scum but they did not kill her because she was white, nor did they kill her to intimidate a group of people.

"...but they did not kill her because she was white, nor did they kill her to intimidate a group of people."

I don't know if this was a hate crime or not. Apparently, unlike you, the rest of us were not there. We did not see the crime in action. We did not hear what the perps said to her before they killed her, if they said anything at all (and she's not talking). And we don't know what they were thinking as they killed here. We even don't know what they think of white people in general before they committed this crime, because the rest of us can't read other people's minds.

While some here suspect that racial hate may have played a role, and some suspect not. Unlike you, no one is so absolutely sure in their opinion.

But what I am SURE of, and what we DO know, is that YOU know. And THAT is a good thing TO know.
