RE: Stop the Presses! Belay that. Start the Presses!

Ms. Alanez,

The two men who robbed the priests in Lauderdale Lakes are Black.

Your news story of the 17th mentioned everything but the race of the “alleged perpetrators”. I just saw the video tape. They are Black. What’s more, the driver of the getaway car, another “alleged perpetrator, appears to be Black.

Some questions and observations are now bubbling up.

#1 – What color were the Catholic priests? If they were White could this be a hate crime?
#2 – Should the “alleged perpetrators” be found to be Muslim could that make it a hate crime?
#3 – It appears that one of the “alleged perpetrators” was wearing it a hoody a la Trayvon Martin. He was the lad gunned down by George Zimmerman, a “White Hispanic”. If they acted as vigilantes could that make it a hate crime? Could an “irresistible impulse” be used in the defense of the “alleged perpetrator”?
#4 – The lunacy of apartheid reporting numbs the senses and abrades the soul. Ask the Big 4, the modern American Liberal Murderers’ Row of the Sun Sentinel, Mr. Lyons, Mr. Stein, Mr. Mayo, and Mr. Goldstein for guidance on this delicate matter.

If you couldn’t put the race of the “alleged perpetrators” in the newspaper why could the television station put it on the air?

It’s OK if you are confused. It’s confusing.

When you lie by omission it is made worse. Much worse.

PS – 3 Black kids give 1 White kid a beating on a school bus. 2 Black guys mug 2 priests of unknown race. When will Sharpton get here?
