The report doesn't mention race at all. Were the attackers black and the victim white? If they were all one race, it has no racial tension element and is thus less likely to attract interest.

Bored teenaged Americans kill a fellow American. How rare an event in such a peaceful law-abiding society, where all are satisfied with the bare minimum required to get by.

gives very little mention to black on white crime.

That sense of humour of yours gets me every time. Willie Horton ring a ding dong bell in that empty brain pan of yours ? O. J. Simpson ? Not just BLACK, but a freakin' BLACK celebrity. The media couldn't get enough of it. One might think nothing else happened in the U.S. that year or the following year.

Also those of us with longer, less selective memories will recall other incidents such as the New York jogger/'Wilding' case:

“People feared crime, and they saw it coming from poor minority neighborhoods and there was a sense that black and Latino young men and boys especially, were responsible for all of the problems in the city,” says Sarah Burns, who co-wrote and directed “The Central Park Five” with Ken Burns and David McMahon. “It was easy for people to write them off as these wolf packs. In this case they looked at them and said, ‘Yup, that makes sense.’”
