Yeah I saw that too. Not really sure what to think about it. Pretty fucking sick if you ask me.

I did see that on the national news. That man owes me 20 dollars.

Ahh, behold. I am a profiteer of death!

This is the first I have heard about the crime. I agree that had the races of the victims and perpetrators been reversed this would have been all over the national news.

The only way it'd be national news is if Jackson/Sharpton made a big stink about it, which they probably would.

This is much more horrific than what happened to Amadou Diallo and that was in the news for months and in fact still crops up on news shows now and then. Had a group of five whites done this to a pair of blacks it would be considered a hate crime and would be played over and over as an example of the evil of whites in the United States.

The Diallo case is completely different; it was a police killing. I can recall several cases of missing white girls making national headlines for several weeks but yet I cannot think of one instance of a black child getting the same kind of coverage.

that's horrible. I don't care what color their skin was. I hope the guilty die a slow horrible death.

I don't even see why race is the issue brought up here.

Because humans are stupid and think that the color of your skin is equally related to your actions.

Snopes gives an explanation that makes more sense.

I hear that..The colour of theirs skin has no bearing on this and should never be an issue. wrong is wrong and burn them in hell for their actions no matter the colour of their skin.
