We try to get the facts before we say anything. We deal in patterns — relentlessly consistent patterns — but sometimes you get a man-bites-dog story.

A white, homosexual, liberal reporter in Philadelphia was murdered recently. Even without a suspect, the temptation was to blame some black guy, but the circumstances argued for caution. Homosexuals get into strange fights with each other that sometimes get out of hand. Now there is a suspect: Robert Davis, a black man that police say the dead journalist was trying to “help.” He is still on the run and is “armed and dangerous.”




The suspect’s family has some troubling allegations.






None of this is confirmed. However, the late Mr. Kruger was certainly not one of our fans.
