Yes, the Duke case was an example of injustice.
But that doesn’t mean that a qualification of the circumstances of a crime is wrong.
Knee-jerkers like you go in assuming, apparently, that such a qualification makes it political, when really that’s not the case at all. It is simply descriptive.
Lol, no, I actually observed as this "qualification" became part of the leftist vocabulary as it was picked up by all the usual PC suspects and the MSM, and academia, etc.
