I think that the fact that there is a videotape of these white girls is the reason that there is a story here. I never heard of FreakNic.

In NYC many of the news stories about violent crimes have victims who are all different races. I do agree that the big national stories about school violence and shootings seem to focus on suburban white victims, as if the violence in big city public schools with non white victims was insignificant. I remember in the mid 1990s, many students of color were being shot in NYC public schools as if that were a part of the educational experience. The country finally noticed when the shootings occured in suburban or rural schools with white victims and shooters.
