well it seems a little exaggerated that it wouldn't even make local news, but i don't know LA news so i don't know, here in the DC area the news every night is a murder but it's so common place
a few weeks ago the headline was that over a week went by when there were no reported murders in the district
and we want to talk shootings, the 7 New Orleans policemen charged with murder in the aftermath of the hurricane, were accused by Rev Al Sharpton of being racist, but Al seems to forget that 4 of the 7 cops are black, so unless they self-hating black men, that ain't it in this murder case
i think even more then racism in this country , class-ism is a bigger problem, you mention the top story, the thing is sure they are white, but they are also most likely from a middle-class family or better, whereas the lower class is ignored or the ridicule of the rest of the population
