I'm just stunned that some kids brutally beat a kid and are now being celebrated and portrayed as victims.

After all, according to many at the rallies, "we gotta look after our own"...
You are right, people we shouldn't celebrate criminal acts. As far as your comment on application of justice and double standards I think that that line is EXTREMELY fine.

Correct. It shouldn't be about race. It should be right or wrong. The problem is that many black people have been shown a discrepancy when it comes to right and wrong and race is why that discrepancy occurs.
