Craptacular Hack

As I was browsing through Sunday's Richmond Times Dispatch I ran accross Mark Holmberg's column. It was a bit about a murder in Richmond that went largely unnoticed. The victim was a person who, sadly, lived his life on the edges of society, etc, etc... Toward the end of the piece Holmberg feels compelled to make this statement:

It just doesn't weigh the same as the other slayings that week, not to mention last year's death of college student Taylor Behl. Which is why few reporters contacted Roberts' family, while Behl's mother continues to bask in the media spotlight like a contestant on some kind of strange "American Idol" for grieving family members.

What an amazingly shitty thing to say.
