[b]This happens every fucking day in DC, and no one blinks when a young black male is murdered.[/b]

Yet this crap, b/c it occurred in Bethesda, makes national news.  [/quote]

It doesn't happen every day in DC.  I agree that there is always a disparity in attention and concern based on a crime victim's race, but this case is much more than that.  The sheer brutality of the murder-- struck over 300 times with any and every blunt object (a hammer, a merchandize peg, etc.) that Norwood could get her hands on-- the pleas for mercy overheard by the Apple Store employees-- that's what makes this case different.  It's just horrifying, and it doesn't happen every day.[/quote]yes it was horrific and my sympathies to the family.

i recall a case earlier this summer where a boyfriend killed his girlfriend in a park and left the 1 year old baby in the car during the sweltering summer heat.  this was during the heat wave.  have heard nothing since in the news.  i think about that poor baby quite often as well as her mother.  now that 's equally horrific.  yet it received a mere fraction of the coverage.  guess what - the victims and criminal were all african american.[/quote]

I remember this. The boyfriend was a DC cop. He killed her just before a child support hearing. Poor baby died in the car. Absolutely tragic story.The bastard had a nerve to show up at the hearing knowing that he'd killed the mother and that his own 1 year old daughter was dying of heatstroke in a car.
