[quote=Anonymous]I posted about why we don't pay attention to the same type of story when the accused and victim are black b/c it doesn't happen regularly in this area. I'm not "playing the race card" in anyway. I'm just pointing out that this story seems to be getting a lot of attention b/c the people are more beautiful/photogenic/upper class. I'm just making the point that the same kind of violence happens to people right here, but it doesn't seem to grab our attention b/c we don't relate to the local victims. The reason OJ got attention was that he was RICH/famous and his victim was beautiful and upper economic class. Media and people as a whole seem to take more notice when they are from the same class as the victim and/or suspect. But, really, this kind of thing happens far too frequently in our own little city... we just don't read those stories.[/quote]
