I'd really like a straight answer. |
No, there are other factors - some on your side, some on mine. Nevertheless, I do believe that if the Carr brothers had been white (and everything else had stayed the same), then the media would have been all over that story. It's got everything: sympathetic victims, sociopathic killers who rape, degrade, and mutilate their victims, and even a survivor's testimony. How could it have missed? Remember, the press was bored enough to cover the Winona shoplifting trial - why not a crime that mixes murder, sex, and ritual humiliation in such a commercially potent brew?
