Where's the outrage? What time are Jackson and Sharpton flying in? I haven't seen anything on a celebrities twitter feed this morning...........



Although this post is a bit of hyperbole, it is perplexing how instances like this, which are equally if not more tragic than the one seen in Ferguson, get zero attention. A truly innocent child was murdered by a sociopath. And this happens quite frequently.

It's sickening that our society only shows outrage when these events have a racial dynamic.

An innocent 7 year old girl is shot and it will not get one iota of attention from the national media, yet a 6'4" 300# thug who just committed strong arm robbery will be held up as a poor "teen" shot by a racist white cop, like I said before if there isn't a political agenda no one will give a damn

Your confusion is asinine. The cops killing someone in cold blood (if that did happen) is clearly more important to society as a whole than random (but tragic) crimes throughout the country.
