It does bother me that this is not being labeled as a hate crime. Four black people slaughtered an innocent white kid. If it were reversed it would be a hate crime and the people would rightfully be held as racist and locked away. Hate and racisim go both ways. I also find it full of hate that two of these murderers are described as being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but as good people. A good person doesn't steal and doesn't harm others. These people are evil and I pray that they are locked away forever. It reminds me of the other news story where the man murdered his second daughter after spending eleven years in jail for murdering his first daughter. You can't rehabitlitate evil. You can pray for them, but keep them off of the streets. If they are ever set free and murder again, the blood is on the hands of the defense attorney and the jurors. I hope the courtroom is full of people to silently support Josh's memory. I pray that friends of the accused realize that what they did has broken the hearts of many and they deserve to be where they cannot hurt an innocent again.
Hate crime?
