    A story like this asks me to search my vocabulary for a word that is adequate…
    I have not found one.
    I notice that there are no comments.
    Is it because everyone who has read this story is left speechless, bereft, and searching?
    If words do come, let us use them for change.

    In an act of incredible grace the family of James Anderson, the victim, has asked that the murderers not be given the death penalty. It will they say not bring their loved one back. Compare these amazing people to the society that
    creates such racial animus that some of its young people engage in such atrocious and hateful acts.

    Not that suprising really.

    I recall a ‘Jerry Springer’ show about parents who raise their children to be racists, and also raise them as
    members of the Ku Klux Klan.

    With parents like that, who knows how many more of these incidents will be in the news,although they all might not make the headlines.

    Jeremy ~ One doesn’t have to look at fake television like Jerry Springer. One only has to look at the California case of Jeff Hall who was murdered by his ten year old son.

    Sadly, this case will probably only result in criminal charges against two of the seven. I’ll be quite surprised if they charge all seven, even though I think all seven of them are completely responsible.
