Articles like this is one of the ways it feeds itself.
First of what happened to the kids is tragic, no one denies it.
But it does not help when articles are written in a manner that is meant to illicit an emotional response, that being "blacks are dangerous".
Any time you have large groups of people, black, white, hispanic, asian, whatever, you will have your share of troublemakers.
I spent a good portion of my life living on Long Island, we hung out in NYC (Times Square before they cleared out the strip joints and drug dealers) , Bed Sty, Harlem, The Rockaways, The Hamptons, and you know what? You were far more likely to have trouble with some roided out Guido at The Boardy Barn on a Sunday afternoon than at 1AM in "Harlem"
The authors intent is crystal clear, he wants to perpetuate the idea that blacks are violent, that you should fear them, that the problem is only getting worse.

That he is using the tragic death of these two kids to further his agenda is despicable.
