Maybe MSNBC can figure out how to make Sparkles the victim, then it will be reported.

No, I am not. This should be as plain as the nose of an intelligent person's face.
Google " Kill that white *****" and see what comes up. That will burst your bubble.

Because they were all arrested and charged with a crime. Unlike the initial response to the Trayvon Martin case.

And THAT is the reason for the hype? Please. This case was a platform for every race warlords political agenda.

In the Trayvon Martin case the controversial "Stand Your Ground Law" in Florida was a major factor that fanned the outrage that came from BOTH sides & heightened tensions & awareness nationally.
You had disparate viewpoints fanning the flames from opposing sides but nevertheless competing for media attention on cable news, talk radio, in the print media & elsewhere, none of which were helpful toward the process of law or the pursuit of justice in the case.

And how many of the protesters that were holding up signs and fanning the flames outside the courthouse even understood the law? Uh, lemme see...oh, probably none. This was simply a reaction to the usual talking heads that were trying whip up the same frenzy over a supposed race situation that faded away eons ago.
If such a situation still exists at all, I think we know who perpetuates it.

I wonder if they realized Pres. Obama voted for stand your ground while in the Illinois Senate?
