You see, right-wingers would be all upset because left-wingers pitched a fit about Trayvon Martin. The difference in the cases was that Trayvon was an unarmed teen walking home from a 7-11 who was killed by a white guy with a gun. The white guy in that case was not arrested, or charged, for MONTHS afterwards, and probably never would have been if not for the outcry.

The suspects in this case are already being arrested, charged, and jailed, as they should have been.

That's why DU isn't particularly interested in this case. To DU, it's just another senseless murder, like thousands of others.
