Thanks for the sendalong to reader-researcher “W,” who writes,
This just in! Maybe it was a lover’s spat. In any event, this gets rated as another “white” murder.

Valdez was taken into custody outside the building "without incident," police said. Officers recovered a knife.
The relationship between the 18-year-old and the man found dead was not known. Police listed Valdez's address as the 5000 block of West Drummond Place in Chicago, about a mile and a half from where the body was found.
Windows on the basement apartment on North Kildare were boarded up hours after the discovery, and drops of blood were visible by the passenger side of a black pickup truck parked in front of the apartment building.

An update on the previous email I sent on the Knockout game "hate crime". This latest MSN headline is upping the ante, it has "hate crime" attached to the headline and full color picture of the white male perp (something they can be very coy about when the perps are black). It's clear the media is going to make a white man the "face" of Knockout game. Regardless that 95% of the perpetrators of this violence are black on whites. That figure is purely a subjective estimate but I have absolutely no doubt it's roughly accurate. The media was just waiting for a white man to do something like this so it felt confident in rising up in self righteous racial posturing. Predictable and disgusting.
The only flicker of hope in this absurdity is reading the comments fields under the headlines, it's clear that many in the general public are not fooled and are calling the media out in their hypocrisy. Jerry
