You know, if the suicide victim had been white and the note had been written on the wall in English, we'd all be decrying the insensitivity of the media for posting that photo on-line.

I wouldn't be decrying anything. We've seen what the media does here. Did you see the photos of David Carradine hanging in a closet? You are not in Kansas anymore.
