If this country wasn't so influenced by the media and these kind of comments then yes, our main concern would be the fact that this poor kid is dead. However, unfortunately for us this whole society thrives off labelling and stereotyping people which the media love to pick up on and use to increase fear of crime. Once Joe Public begins to get scared because of comments like this the government find it easy to pass through bullshit legislation in "response" to the public's concerns i.e. the medias discourse, and young black kids start getting stopped and searched 10 times more than white kids... oh, wait, that already happens!!!
