Crayola Justice


President Barack Obama said Monday that Americans are ‘‘heartbroken’’ by a shooting this weekend in which six people were killed at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin.
Obama told reporters in the Oval Office that Americans would ‘‘recoil’’ at the violence if the victims’ ethnicity turns out to be have been a factor in the shootings.

See, which is why over 300 deaths attributed to Operation Fast and Furious is not such a big deal, as they were only Mexican-on-Mexican.  Or Mexican-on-White.

Why should we care?
I would be heartbroken to think people's reactions to any killing is dictated by the color of the victim.
