Nice Kid, Except For The Hate And Murder And Loner And Terror And Bomb Stuff
-
It is a fair question why the reporting and the police announcements about the Austin bomber have been tiptoeing around him, calling him "troubled" and "upset with how his life was going" and "a nice homeschooled kid" instead of "terrorist" and "murderer." Is it because he's, you know, a white Christian? Or is it fair to hedge the descriptions while the investigation is ongoing? Even if you think the latter, it's fair to compare how the police and media discussed other terrorist incidents in America and ask why this guy is getting sympathy. (AP via KABC-TV/Los Angeles)
