The public reaction to this will say a great deal about the state of race relations.
There were hundreds of thousands of white people on the street when Trayvon Martin got shot. Will there be hundreds of thousands blacks on the street now or will they think "isn't my responsibility"? The same happens in Europe when muslims go nuts, there are never other muslims on the street to show support for the victims. This creates deep resentment since whites use public gathering as their number one way of showing support.
The difference is the majority of the public outraged have jobs. You aren't going to see hordes of blacks or Hispanics taking to the streets after this. I can't afford to miss work to march the streets...
Why not?
You really need me to state the obvious?
