He was a white boy. Even worse, he was an old white boy. his life did not matter does not, and never did mater. You know who's life does matter? Black lives matter. If you ain't black (or a member of another protected disefranchised minority class) your wack. All you racists need to start putting the stories in context of the stories greater affect on disenfranchised black latino transgendered African Americans living in a zone that will be shortly reclaimed by the ocean due to global warming.
Ooops I forgot to include indigenous cultures also. Those people are also important. I know they are important because they have their own month.
