Three black college students in Newark, New Jersey who were "hanging out" at the playground of an elementary school around midnight last Saturday were murdered by a gang of latinos, including illegals from Peru and Nicaragua. "Aeriel was shot first, through the face, and left near some aluminum bleachers. The other three...were walked to a school wall, forced to kneel and shot in the back of the head."

Despite this, the Mayor of Newark clings to the utopian illusions of his party: "This is a heinous act, this is a vicious act ... but there is no evidence that it was a racist crime." Oh, really? One would expect a better analysis from an Oxford educated Rhodes Scholar like Mr. Booker. As one Los Angeles activist recently observed: "If it's not race motivated, if it's not gang motivated, then what the hell is the motivation?"
