Omaha shooter vs. Sean Taylor's killers

Am I sensing something here? I was just listening to ABC Nightline where they labeled the Omaha shooter as being troubled and trying to figure out where they went wrong.

Yet, the killers of Sean Taylor are being labeled thugs and everything under the sun.

Why aren't they all being labeled one in the same: if one is troubled, then they all should be troubled. If one is a thug, then they all should be a thug.

It's just the usual example of a double standard to me. They (the media, we know who its controlled by) is always going to make "their stories" seem different than they make anyone else's. Not just blacks, but any other minority for that matter.

As a people (you know, before we disintegrated into the beasts that we've unleashed today) were civilized before slavery. We weren't savages. Everyone got a fair chance.
