One more time; what has the race of the offender got to do with this story? Yes, the act is shocking and horrific, so unspeakably vile that it ought to shock and anger any of us; and yet I think we all know that the only reason this story was posted here at all is the race of the perpetrator. That, to me, says a lot about what priorities some of us have, and what it says is not good. What's the real message here-sympoathy for the victim of this outrage and her family, or one more rather transparent attempt to rationalize bigotry? Which is it, really?
