One is cast as a "suspect"
for being innocent and getting shot, the other is cast as a "victim of the system" for shooting innocents.
One is dead and his
report card comes under attack, the other kills people and the media
fetishizes his "good grades."
One is undeserving of life because he got some gold teeth, the other deserves leniency because he dyed his hair.
One is "propagandist," because his posthumous photos aren't "scary enough," the other commits mass murder and photos are circulated of "when he was happier."
One is a "future criminal" for being shot with candy, the other kills 12 people and "was such a nice boy."
Have I missed anything? Beyond nostalgia for the journalist's souls?
Yes, you nailed it. Ugh.
