I don’t know why I find it interesting that lawyers for the suspect in the Eve Carson murder are asking that federal charges be dismissed because Demario Atwater is black:

”[B]oth statistics and comparison with other similarly situated defendants reveal that the overriding reason that Mr. Atwater was indicted in federal court was that he was a young, black male accused of killing a young, white female,” the defense team wrote in one of the documents.

Interesting, considering the fact that the federal government has taken upon itself to save everyone from racism, not institute racist practices.
