Ridiculous reporting really riles me.

This is the dumbest thing I ever read. There's an increase in violent crime in the United States. Mr. Vidiot says that rise in crime can be attributed to the following:

This is due to that fact that the faults within capitalist society produces overwhelming contradictions. Scapegoats are created to justify the faults within the social order, rather than saying the faults of the social order lie within the social order itself. So, minorities, blacks, Hispanics, are labeled as "urban terrorists," "haters of American values," "thugs," and are accused of "trying to destroy the social fabric of society." And most people easily fall into this trap. This contradiction plays out as capitalist society promises dreams, success through hard work and opportunity while delivering class disparity, compulsory miseducation, dead-end wage jobs, slum neighborhoods, and hypersegregation due mostly to redevelopment. That is, capitalism creates the very class of people they seek to destroy.

In contrast, let's look at the lame-assed reporter's explanation:

Excerpt: The slaying of the 20-year-old mother -- on a narrow street behind a police station in Boston's poor Roxbury district last month -- is one of the shocking examples of a rise in the murder rate across the United States that is raising questions about whether police are fighting terrorism at the expense of crime.

Yes, the police are just distracted is all. If we can just get them to pay attention. Everything would be just fine. Because, right now, they're just focusing on non violent crime and terrorists posing as protestors.
