In a world of conflict news stories are often overshadowed by breaking news. What’s a recent news story, good or bad, you feel went under the radar?

Ethan Liming.
Was a kid in Akron Ohio who was driving around with black friends.
They drove past a group of black kids playing basketball, and one of his friends shot them with a bright orange water gel blaster.
Ethan ended up being brutally murdered (the only one), fractured skull, bootprints on his chest, then the group stole their car and took it on a joy ride to prevent him being taken to the hospital.
They were just found not guilty.
What did being black have anything to do with this story?
Sounds like they’re claiming race was a motive in his beating, but I don't know enough about this story to weigh in.
Seems like shooting at people from a moving vehicle was the motive. Story stays the same w race going unmentioned.
OP sounds like they may be pushing a narrative, but if it’s true that the white kid that died did not shoot the gel gun and was the only one in the car to be beaten then it is possible race was a factor in the crime. I’m still highly skeptical and I don’t have the time right now to delve into this to get a full understanding so I’ll just leave it at that.
Yeah, I don't know the story but it kind of strains credulity the way OP told it. A bunch of black kids that did this would have the book thrown at them in America, and probably become a racially-tinged campaign story for the AG's re-election campaign.
why don't you research it then.
it's all true.
or maybe consider that what you envision to be reality is not correct.
It's almost like you'd have to try to get it this wrong.
