Racially-Approved American Murder: They Kill Because They Can
The Kandahar, Afghanistan and Sanford, Florida killers are anything but freaks.

U.S. policy conveys immunity from other nations' laws on U.S. soldiers, while state laws are rewritten to do the same for murderous-minded whites. “Evocation of white fear now provides the same justification for summary murder as claims of rape of white women did for mob lynchings, back in the day.”
