This unfortunate story brings up the issue of political correctness. On the one hand, we should never target minorities or anyone who "looks suspicious" out of fear or bigotry. However, we also need to make sure we don't bend over so far backwards that we let criminals walk all over us because of White guilt.

You mean like OJ Simpson and Michael Vicks?
Criminals walk over you? Get a grip..You act as if no white man has ever "gotten off"..There's never outrage or media coverage of that. By the way, Vick is finising a 2 year prison term.

You mean they haven't been punished severely for what they have done? Last I heard, both were in custody of the judicial system..........

I am still waiting for an apology from jackson for the duke case. I am guessing that at this point, it won't come.
