I guess this will be the Trayvon Martin event for the mid term elections.
It seems like racial incidents get exceptional media coverage prior to major national elections, which in turns make these incidents bigger and more difficult to ignore. Every political or media personality that needs to exploit people's emotions to generate support will have ample opportunity to get in front of the camera and express their faux outrage.
I'm impressed that someone other than a democrat has figured that one out....but as I've posted before, the facts are not yet clear and the story will only get increasingly politicized from here on out. My advice is that we should all hold off on our personal judgement and try not to let anyone use this incident to take advantage of our outrage.
