Surprise, surprise, Milo;  CORE, a black, "liberal" civil rights
group has already offered to pay for his legal defense.

Makes sense, actually;  altho this is a case of a white man shooting
four blacks, it is also a case of a crime victim shooting four
criminals.  It isn't (statistically) whites who are in danger from
black gangs, despite stereotypes;  it's other blacks.
