I checked the top articles to see if there is a photo of the suspect. And then I did find one eventually, after a few more searches. The coverage of this story reminds me of this tweet: https://twitter.com/ComicDaveSmith/status/1279870366773661696 https://twitter.com/ComicDaveSmith/status/127987036677366169...

The DailyMail published his photo, and also, even better, doesn't have a paywall: > https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8534097/Murdered-New-York-tech-entrepreneurs-personal-assistant-arrested.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8534097/Murdered-Ne... The NYT wouldn't have hesitated to publish Tyrese's photo had he been white and Fahim had been black. Probably their respective races would have even been mentioned in the headline.

  What is the point of downvoting an obvious temp account, other than to censor an opinion you disagree with but evidently can't refute? Taking GoodBoyPoints away from me isn't going to change my mind (viz. that leftwing MSM outlets only reports race when it suits their narrative).

  You’re being downvoted because this is unhelpful speculation which adds nothing to the discussion - be it true or untrue. If the response to what you say is “OK...”, what you have said is not terribly interesting.

  Which makes sense. Black people have historically been and currently are scapegoats for a lot of crimes they did not commit. Kinda makes sense to give them more leeway.

    So have the Irish, Chinese, and Italians. What does the crimes of others of the same race have to do with it?

I also don't like how they detail every sex crime a sexual assault. It's very confusing to know xx needs 50k for bail and yy needs 2k both for sexual assault which ranges greatly from groping to rape.

  I'm so confused by this post. is "xx" referring to chromosomes? Cis women need a lot of money for bail? "yy" is not even a thing, you need at least one x.

    My interpretation was that they were simply placeholders.

    The other person is correct, they are placeholders.

Around certain people, never relax

  Are you suggesting never relax around black people?
