It's been happening in the inner cities for over 20 years on a daily basis. Kids killing kids. It certainly doesn't make the fucking front page of countless magazines and newspapers...
Just not white kids killing other white kids. Middle-class violence, now that's something really tragic. I'm so glad it got such extensive coverage.
I honestly don't mean to make light of this occurrence or to imply that it wasn't appalling. But the media circus that followed spoke volumes about class biases still very alive in American "culture".
