Where is the outrage?????

A Florida teen is facing life in prison without parole for murdering two young British tourists who got lost and wandered into a housing project where their convicted killer lived.
After an eight-day trial, a jury on Wednesday convicted 17-year-old Shawn Tyson of two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting of James Cooper, 25, and James Kouzaris, 24, last April.

Black people only care when a white person kills a black person. Black people could care less about any other murders.

It's almost as if blacks are held to a lower standard and have lower expectations placed on them. I wonder why that is.

So, is this where we are at... Digging up news stories and comparing them to a story that has racial implications? You would think that in today's society with so much hatred from the Middle East coming at us, that we could break down these racial barriers, but nooooo..... everyone feels the need to feed the fires....ufb

If zimmerman had been convicted of killing Martin there wouldn't be this outrage either.
I think the outcome has more to do with the outrage than race does.

Blacks have lots a problems and struggles right now and this is a way of balling it all up and putting a face on it!!! A white looking face is best because liberals would never report on blacks pointing fingers at blacks, it's just not PC and lacks an actual person to call racist!

This is not however an endorsement for Zimmerman IF the evidence proved he did something wrong!

In this case, the killer was arrested, tried, convicted and is being sentenced.
