It seems that people are exploiting the story of Robert Krentz, the AZ rancher that was found shot and killed just so we forget about the murderer Shawna Forde, the Minutemen Leader that killed a father and his 9-year old daughter. Robert Krentz’s case is still under investigation, there are NO leads, NO witnesses, but nativists are already saying it was a Mexican that did it and blasting the internet with these false claims…….Do you think this is morally right?

Robert Krentz’s Murder Exploited by Nativists, While Shawna Forde Is Conveniently Forgotten
The dastardly murder of Arizona rancher Robert Krentz has sent the nativists into public paroxysms of jingoist ecstasy.
Tom Tancredo, J.D. Hayworth and others of that ilk are exploiting the killing to inflame hatred toward new arrivals of a brown hue. Even mainstream pols like Senator John McCain and Democratic Congresswoman Gabby Giffords are using the incident as an opportunity to bulk up their resumes with border-hawkishness.
This, though a suspect has yet to be identified. But never let that get in the way of exploiting a death. “More troops to the border!” they cry. “Pass state Senator Russell Pearce’s apartheid-police state legislation!” they insist.
