You're right about that, Wolfgang!

Whether the captions are right or not, they all look pretty innocent to me. Was the boy a looter? Were the pair looters? Under the circumstances, nobody knows. Were there arrests and a trial? Doubtful.

Even if the boy was a looter, I don't think anyone would begrudge him what he has in his possession. He certainly would not deserve to be shot.

Its plain out and out prejudice that occurs all the time in the U.S., especially the deep South.
