re: #275 Gus 802

Why? The usual. The victim was a poor black kid from Oakland. Which is not to say it wasn’t covered strictly because he was black. It would be about the same if it was anyone else that wasn’t from the suburbs and handsome. The media really eats up the crime stories when the victims are good looking.

Get this: Mehserle will do less time for shooting & killing Oscar Grant than Plaxico Burress is doing for shooting himself in the leg…
