While traveling this past week, I read about a black on white (almost) murder in Columbus, Ga. (http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/2012/...l-student.html)

I wonder why Obama did not say "this could be my daughter."

Of course, it would be too easy to compare the two cases. One has been tried to death in the court of public opinion, the other has on silence.

Victim #1
17 year-old-black-male has a long crimnal history

Victim #2
16 year-old-hispanic-female
Straight A/Bs in school, never in trouble

Shooter #1
Never been in trouble of any kind

Shooter #2
Long history of crimnal trouble

Black community reaction?
Shooting #1
white (hispanic) on black = hanging is too good for him

Shooting #2
Black on white(hispanci) = set him free
