[Harvey G.]

If we’re taking a poll, I’m 55 and don’t feel (or think of myself) as a day over 30. I sure wish I had those years to live over again!

[Harvey G.]

I looked up this story and read the scathing editorial in one of the major Little Rock daily papers. They were also complaining about the scant media coverage – especially in light of the brutality of the crime. (The boy was tied face- down on a mattress and repeatedly sodomized.) Published responses from The Washington Post and the Associated Press stated their explanations for such a small media reaction: “This was,” they said, “not a hate crime.” In their eyes, I guess, that made it less newsworthy. The logic seems to be that there are sexual assaults every day but these are not crimes against a minority for no reason other than the dislike for that minority. So apparently the rape and murder of an innocent 13-year-old is just not the crime-of-the-day on the media’s menu at this particular time.
