A man was recently convicted of a murder, and sent to prison which was essentially for life (70 years). The article pays very little attention to the fact that he was Asian and the dead guy was white (exchange student from Germany).
There has been little to no outrage or information. No marches. No riots. And within a few days, will most likely disappear. Personally, I think it's an injustice. Since the Asian guy was protecting his home when an intruder (this young man) was on his property. What he was doing there seems to be of very little consequence to the fact that there is a dead white guy on his driveway. Never mind that it was in a all-white town with an all-white jury. See what I did there? Turned it into race.
I think the news these days are really trying to get us to enflame each other and tear us apart. As humans. Why? Conflict sells. This is a non-story because the two parties involved and their ethnicities tend to conjure ZERO interest. To either cases. It seems, we get no news about this. Apparently Germany heard about his, and is outraged because of whatever details they get. We just heard about this because the sentence was handed down. That's it. No fire in the streets, looting or nothing. This doesn't effect my life in any way. It should, in terms of outrage (if you read the full story, the guy thought he was protecting his wife and kid). But that's their story. Seems strange that Muslim, Black or White turn tragic situations into cause worthy marches.
I guess it's only news when you can rile up a bigger population to create more news for you. Otherwise, we can just go about our day, waiting for the next black/white/Muslim conflict.
