Her son was probably the last chance for unconditional love she will ever have. And his face showed he was loved.

It hurts and then enrages one to think someone may be taking advantage public sympathy, but the arrest from the action of the young man's own aunt who called the police, is not consistent with him being framed because of his race or any other factor.
For some reason he felt entitled to do this act. We know the rate of arrest and incarceration of blacks is higher. Some due to race, but it's more about poverty and/or the concensus that the poor commit most crimes.
This could have been done by a white teenager, as we certainly hear about that enough in the news. Some go on autopilot over the stories posted, which is a typical human failing.
Thanks for taking an interest and clearing this story up.
