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. -- "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less" -- Humpty Dumpty, the noted linguist Rick Keir -- MicroComputer Information Center, MACC 1210 West Dayton St/U Wisconsin Madison/Mad WI 53706 {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!rick
