This is a show-stopping detail that shows why Kansas is not charging them with Hate Crimes.... However, the point that the news media is at fault here still holds.
I'm not familiar wiith this case...
Because the Carrs are black and their victims white, many observers expected the brothers to be charged with hate crimes.
Is this the only basis for "hate" or did the perps say things that would lead you to suspect the killings were racially motivated?
They did.
Not that it should make any difference, whatsoever.
