Wilding

Anyone else disturbed by the treatment that these young white men charged in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with beating three homeless men, killing one, are getting? The news coverage is surprisingly sympathetic to these guys. Neighbors saying that they can't believe the story. Reporters, in their own voices, emphasizing how young they look. I'd bet dollars to donuts that if these "young men" were African American, they would be described, by someone on the tv, as animals. I don't see why these guys don't get the same media treatment as the monsters who beat and raped the Central Park jogger. (It's possible that Bill O'Reilly did that on his show. If so, and you were watching, let me know.)

Btw, there's talk on tv about "the lack of motive" for the beatings. Have these reporters never heard of sadism?

BBtw, will the 18-year-old charged with murder get the death penalty? Almost certainly not.
