What is the writer's opinion about the way the media and people's attitudes towards the situation would be different if those involved were a minority? Also give an example of a similar incident involving the president-elect.
If these kids were any kind of minority, these posts would be full of hate-filled rants!  They're not guilty until a trial (remember the Central Park 5 who after years in prison were totally absolved of any participation in the supposed gang rape that got them convicted.  Our president elect took out a full page ad in all the New York papers at that time saying all 5 deserved the death penalty!)
