Baby killing accomplice in trouble with law again.
This news item seemed to have fallen through the crack. I am tempted to make some sociological comment about the criminal mindset of people who resort to frivolous baby killing, but, I am too ourtaged to write anything remotely coherent.

I don't think it fell through the cracks at all. As your link indicates, AP and CNN.com had it, and I saw something on ESPN. Yup, it is decidedly above all relevant cracks.

CNN and others picked up the story on Thursday, while the beer throwing happened on Tuesday. As it turns out, Brian Peterson was released on Wednesday.

The irony here is that the only demographic group John Rocker did not hurl a slurr at threw the beer bottle at him. I do not think Brian Peterson and his buddy from Wyckoff, N.J. even rode the 7 train. They are just criminals trying to hog some press time.

I too, am against frivolous baby killing. Baby killing should only be used when necessary, administered in a proper social context.
