Exactly. Still, that hasn't stopped the media from running fucking wild with it.

I think part of the issue for a lot of people, is that the only reason this got so much attention was because the original story was that a "white" man had shot an unarmed black kid in a "gated" neighborhood, and it exploded as a racial issue, while a lot of people honestly didn't understand why it was getting so much attention when the same, if not worse shit was happening all over the place.

Guess how much media coverage that's going to get? None.
Doesn't mean it should happen. It SHOULDN'T, but it does.
