I am sure the article is not biased in any way.

Derailing the thread occurred when you expanded the group of murderers to ' southern fundamentalist Christian conservative bible thumpers.'

Really? They arent killing anybody. But white criminals, are, whether they have a badge or not.

You're criticizing me because reality didn't match up with your fantasy? It's your m.o. When you see your side losing - you devolve into ridiculousness as if that was cool, then belittle the better argument as being off topic.

I didn't derail the thread ... I made a sarcastic comment and you felt compelled to comment in manner that didn't address the premise of the thread nor my comment.
Do some research into why Louisiana has the highest murder rate ... It isn't a mystery because all you have to do here is watch any of the local news channels.

I"m in pain, on pills, and pissing from my stomach into a bag around my ancle.. I might notice nuance, or imagine it's meaning completely differently. I shouldn't post. I'm sorry.
