I think I can pretty much reconstruct it. This was a white guy who was stupid enough to try to buy drugs from six inner city blacks.
So he flashed his cash, and they figured, well, why sell the drugs to this stupid whitey, when we can keep the money AND the drugs for some extra profit. Plus we get all the fun of beating a stupid whitey to death, who is too dumb to know that this is OUR territory and he is only here on sufferance. Which we hereby withdraw.
The (white) guy was just walking home from work.
Don’t even need to point out how differently this would have been handled in the media had six white yutes murdered a black kid because they were bored.
If he was buying druugs, why did the judge berate the police for saying he was buying drugs?
