Because there's got to be an area where white people are , you know, "more OK" with their kids being killed by savages. They blame the bloggers, sites, "hate", the rally, and so on.

Knox County Judge Richard Baumgartner on Thursday set anticipated two-week trials for each of them in 2008, beginning with Cobbins on May 12, Coleman on June 16, Davidson on July 14 and Thomas on Aug. 11.
Prosecutors have yet to say if they will seek the death penalty.
A fifth defendant, Eric Boyd, 34, is being held on a federal charge of being an accessory after the fact for allegedly helping Davidson. No state charges have been filed against him.
More than a dozen family members and friends of victims filled two rows of the courtroom Thursday, intently listening to the proceedings. None would talk later to reporters.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys also declined comment, though one defense attorney said that continued rumors about rallies against “black-on-white crime” might raise concerns of tainting a jury pool and the need to move the trial.
“We’ve seen fliers and postings on Internet sites,” Mayor Bill Haslam said of possible demonstrations in coming weeks. “We don’t know if it is a small number of people or large, but we will be prepared one way or another. We treat them seriously.”
One organization identified only as the “ABC Group” applied for a parade permit for June 16. The police chief said other actions may be held Saturday and May 26.
Knoxville NAACP President Ezra Maize has been meeting with city and police officials. “We don’t want to add fuel to the fire. Our goal is simply to keep the peace,” he said.
