[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will someone please help me understand why everyone is so much more outraged by the perpetrator's race, age, and gender in this particular shooting of a young innocent man? [/quote] Yet the same people are perfectly silent when black kids shoot each other pretty much EVERY DAY in this country. [/quote] I think it is because there is an assumed level of culpability with the inner city kids. People assume it is gang violence and that is what you get when you get involved in a gang. It also allows for some distance. In this case, there is a good kid, who did made a simple mistake. A mistake we could see ourselves making or our kids making, thus people respond differently to it. Not saying it is good or right just explaining. [/quote]
