"has anyone noticed this is one of those very very rare what could be construed possibly as white on black racist incidents gone awry? if so why is the media not all over this? that could be instructional as to where the truth lies....as in dad might have simply effed up "

LOL! White was a well behaved decent citizen that defended his kid, his home and his family. ...with a gun. The media only goes into action when it's a poor deprived drug using criminal ganster that gets into trouble with a gun, so they can blame the NRA, Bush and the cops.

Nevertheless, the punks were out to do bodily harm to the kid. They just tossed in the racial slurs, because they were intent on doing as much harm as possible.

The usual suspects played on the hopeless hoplophobia of Lawn Guyland residents, to say nothing of the not-so-secret antipathy toward blacks of the inhabitants/jury members (many of whom fled Brooklyn and Queens to get away from you know who).

The narrative in this part of the country is that "guns are bad and we must restrict them to keep dangerous minorities from harming us." The only time you will see the media go after a person of color is if they use a gun. Chuck Schumer has been notorious in playing up this idea in order to get the support of the great (white) unwashed. The hypocrisy of Noo Yawk libs on racial issues would be hysterical if it didn't (censored) everything up.
