It's an easily sensationalized story for the 24-hour news networks to pull in the usual crowd of people that can't get enough of other people's misery and get ratings. In short, it sells.
To politicize it is just par for the course in today's political discourse, but as you say, it's sickening.
This happened over three weeks ago. If not for the family "politicizing" it, the case would have been swept under the rug
Had the victim and perp been of the same race no one would be "politicizing" this story.
I'm not upset about a crusade for justice, but for most of the people advocating justice, it's not about justice, it's about getting ahead with their point of view in racial politics.
