My first reaction was that if they hadn't blamed it on a hate crime, there might not have been much of an investigation, but from the details, that wasn't their biggest mistake.

Media bias? The header mentions "hate crime" and the text mentions "racial slurs." But, nowhere does it come out and say what was involved. The reader has to make assumptions. Were these black people and, if so, why is that fact being concealed? The paper has avoided saying anything bad about two folks.

Contrast this with the next white shooter who will be identified, up front, as a "troubled white religious conservative NRA member."

His wife, Tracey Gatlin, also 31, pleaded guilty to insurance fraud and received four years deferred adjudication.

In Texas that means if she commits another crime in the next four years she will be sentanced for this crime.

Otherwise she's home free.

How'd she get off so light?

Both of them should have gone for hard time.

Idiots.

Everything they spray painted on the walls about themselves is probably true.
