    I was reading the USA Today while at a karaoke bar awaiting my turn to sing. There was an article about some black guy who shot and killed a Hispanic guy at a Taco Bell in Arizona. Arizona has a Stand Your Ground law. Wonder how this will pan out.

    Where is all the media?

    One question in the article itself was: "Where's the outrage?" And the answer is: I dunno.

    The media has been on this, but just like the Trayvon Martin incident, coverage is starting slowly. Things like this happen, literally, every single day in this country. One wonders hoe some stories become national news and others don't.

    It's usually when the story fits a political agenda. There is so much crime and very, very rarely is it racially motivated. Even when the news media says its racially motivated, it often is not.
