... privileged, Rita would have set up camp in Alabama, and the blood lust crowd would probably have come out screaming for 'justice'. There would be intense analyzation of the "pranksters'" motives. If they were Muslim, they would immediately be accused of being terrorists. If they were poor & black, they would be accused of being gang thugs. If they were Hispanic, they would have been accused of being 'illegals'. If they were Goth, comparisons would be made to Columbine. ad infinitum.
