The two men that dragged Byrd were white supremacists, and they were bad men.
Byrd was black, but he was equally racist for his part and was a bad man.
You wouldn't want to be around any of them, because they were all violent.
The thing that bothered me is that the press KNEW the story. It was hard to miss. It's not like the characters served prison time years or decades earlier. They had each just gotten out of prison only a few weeks or months earlier.
It wasn't a case of reporting "news"... but instead selling newspapers and viewership to "news programs". A prison fight on the outside between three scumbags doesn't sell newspapers. They told a fake story that inflamed racism across the nation... while the news industry made money.
Yup, and now the racial divide is greater than ever...

I think that inflaming racism is the MSM goal in that case, and money is just icing on the cake.
