Already hearing it. There are even a couple freepers pushing the meme. It’s all over Facebook apparently.

At least one black freeper, if not more. Identity politics dies hard, even in a relatively open and shut case like this one. I'm sorry, but my instinct is not to defend the "victim" in a situation where his parents start out with a PR offensive that includes baby photos and leave out his record of drug-, theft- and assault-related juvenile delinquency. It's one thing to put your best foot forward, and quite another to lie by omission.

Even Congressman Allen West went with identity politics at least initially on this one.
