Kid set on fire in Houston, why so little coverage?

[YALE]

Seems like kidnapping then setting the kid on fire would be a big enough crime to merit more news attention. I guess that's how fucked this world is now?

The kidnapped kid was a preteen and a male, so there's no traction to be had there with the mommy crowd.

The way some of these clowns act it's a surprise there isn't more skittle shootings.

Here's another question: What exactly would be the point of raising a big stink about it? The murderer has been convicted, and she got life without parole. The kid can't be brought back, so what else do you want? People to acknowledge it? I'd say a reasonable amount have. And I still don't get the hate crime angle. Has it been proven that race was a motive in the crime? Wouldn't that be critical to it being a hate crime?

Black people reading race into the Trayvon Martin case isn't right, so we should read race into this? Don't make my point for me.

[Ruffdaddy]

Lol Yale still doesn't get it and can't stand being wrong. What's wrong with the Op pointing out hypocrisy in MSM?

So, just shut up and be plowed over because you're a racist if you speak up when things are not equal?

[racrguy]

No, he's saying don't make it about race when it isn't.

No. But in this case how are things not equal? It was local news, and it was treated as such. All the news outlets in Houston covered it. The original article makes a lot of leaps that the evidence doesn't bear out. I'm also not calling anyone a racist. I'm saying no one is being racist against white people here.
