Because the victims are white and the perpetrators black.
Duh.

The media is all about promoting white-racism-vs-black-people, nothing else.

They should all be executed. Would prefer that it happen now, rather than pay for their stay in prison and any appeal that they will probably file.

With that said, this happened over 4 years ago and it looks like justice is being served here (criminals arrested and being retried [drunk judge..WTF?]).

What more do you want? Are you suggesting that there should be outcries when justice is served? What point would that serve?

Seriously? Roland Martin wrote about it on CNN back in 2007 when he talked about the disproportionate outrage for violence against dogs as compared to people:

"The same thing was said about the shocking details surrounding the deaths of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom. The two University of Tennessee students were on a date when they were carjacked by several men. They were taken to a house where they were held. Christopher was raped, doused with gasoline, shot and his body dumped on the side of a road.Channon? She had a household cleaner poured down her throat and was later raped. She, too, was murdered."

Commentary: Where is the outrage when humans are abused? - CNN

They are in jail correct? They hopefully will be executed. Still doesnt mean Trayvons murderer should be walking free. Or is that what you are getting at?

This happened years ago, why would it be national news?
I was living in Florida at the time, and heard about it on a local station.

Because it's been covered ad nauseum on CD by people trying to make a point about the media and/or black people.
