What Andrew Gallo did was f'ed up but the media...

Dont get me wrong he deserves what he is getting because he is a killer, yet...
Something about this murder coverage quirks me...
I have the feeling its because a hispanic male killed a white man, who just happened to be up and coming player. The media is tooting Adenhart to be the next great white hope and crucifying Gallo as another hispanic thug.
The media is doing there usual flip ape shite when a white person or little girl dies, or goes missing..
What about all the minority males getting killed every day or the little minority children that go missing...never even sniff the amount of air time little sally gets..

Might have more to do with the high profile of the case. They want to make an example of him.
But I have no problem with that. This POS already had his license revoked and he still drove drunk. The only way to keep him off the road is to throw him in the slammer.

A POS is a POS regardless of skin color.
I'd expect the same media coverage if the dude was white.

Agree. Media is reaching a little on the guys potential.

Adenhart was going to be a good number 2.

Because hearing that one drug dealer killed another is not really news. It's expected to happen.
However, I feel the media is fair and portrays minorities in the news when they are newsworthy as well.
i.e. Here is one for instance:

I don't think so. He would've been a solid 14-15 win guy with an ERA below 4.00. That's pretty damn solid.

The frick is this supposed to mean? You do know that baseball pitchers are majority whites, right? Not that it matters you racist punk.

Sean Taylor wasn't white. The people responsible for his death weren't either. If I remember correctly it was that the criminals weren't expecting him to be home at the time. shite like this isn't uncommon, it's just really sad.
The media is always fascinated with a new story for upwards of a couple weeks or so and then the next incident involving a pro athlete replaces it.
