lol, Maverick...
Did you even read my post? In this case, for me to ask the question was to answer it.

"Does anybody else see the weird (not!), sanitized slant on this story?"
If that doesn't give my thoughts away I don't know what would...
Any...way...
I can't help but to think that there would be a completely different treatment of this story if the guy was an ARAB (or an Arab looking person... we know us Americans can't tell the difference.)
So that's my answer...
I think there would be more condemnation, more indignation, hysteria, etc.
Not saying that ALL HELL would break loose but I think there would be few people talking about this being a "lesson". And really that's my point. There would be much more emotions besides the benign HERO or CRIMINAL idea that's promoted.
I think the response would be more vitriolic...
