Where's the outrage?

So - where's the mural (if you do not know what I mean search for Trayvon and mural) and media on this story?  Where's Rachel or MHP to extol on the status of "race relations"?  Where are the Reverends Al or Jesse?  Doesn't this at least merit some self-reflection? 

When will Joe Biden chime in and tell us all that "If I had another son he might look like Raymond!".  Well, actually no, he probably wouldn't, since this young man looks pretty normal, while Joe is, well, pretty hideous. 



But that's not the point, is it?

After all, if it is about race and racial injustice and not about crime, then all of those vultures should be circling this case by now.  After all, the familiar phrase was that Martin was shot for walking while black - seems like Widstrand was beaten for walking while white.  Good thing he wasn't armed - he might be on trial by now.

Come on - those public faces that seem to want to see social justice when it suits them should be out there on this one, too.  It might buy them a little credibility.

But it's not and they won't.  It is about opportunism, about misdirection.  It makes all of it smack of manipulation.  Move along, nothing to see here. 

At least Mr. Widstrand is out of the coma at this point.
