Teenager sentenced to 4 life terms for racist murders

This article reports about a white South African teen who has been convicted of murdering four blacks in his racist killing spree. His victims were a mother and her infant, an elderly man and a ten year old boy. He not only had killed these four but also planned on killing 11 others, earning him 68 years in prison. On top of that, he got another 8 years for possessing firearms and ammunition. His lawyer is attempting to plead the court to consider "compelling circumstances", that his upbringing played a major role. The teenage has been home-schooled all his life and has never learnt to socialize with other kids, especially one who are of a different race. 

This is good reminder to everyone that there is still racism in the world, and the harm that people are compelled to do to someone of a different race because of it. The article isn't biased because it just stated the facts of the situation and there was not a hint of opinion about the convicted.
