It's really fucking sad how you can quite accurately predict the races involved with stuff like this, as well as other crimes.

Look, I don't want to immediately think 'they're black.' I don't want to be able to say 'bet they're black,' and be right. That's not a thing I particular like. But here we are. And I'm right like nine times out of ten.

And we're not even allowed, at least in polite society, to talk about the elephant in the room.

"Ooh, we've got to stop gun violence, we've got to solve violent crime!" But you can't talk about who's doing it. You're a racist if you talk about it, and you're cruel if you say repeat criminals probably shouldn't be let out of jail so easily to continue to repeat criminal.

It's a sick joke, and probably yet another demoralization tactic.
