        1. “It’s dey culture. Disgusting feral animals.” Your comment refers to an entire race, not just this individual case. Nice try backtracking your racism, though. As for the suspect in this case (assuming he’s guilty), I hope they lock him up, throw away the key and karma will be a major bitch.
