This one example of a senseless killing is significantly more outrageous than Travon Martin's deal, a thug wanna-be who attacked George Zimmerman and the thug jumped the wrong guy.

Maybe the audience can explan why the lack of apparent interest? I heard of the Martin deal every hour on the hour to the point of having Martin fatigue.
There are huge differences in the story. If the cops were releasing the one suspect they have, saying he acted in self defense, you might have something. Martin's case got the traction it did in large part because of the hot button profiling issue and because of the way Z went out of his way to start a confrontation that ended with him claiming self-defense.

But who am I kidding? This line of rap will be with us for the foreseeable future.
