Earlier: Black Football Player Is Acquitted After Beating To Death A White Man Pretending To Be A Woman

After 48 hours following the acquittal of Virginia Tech black football player Isimemen Etute for beating to death his white transvestite date Jerry Smith on manslaughter grounds, neither the New York Times nor the localish Washington Post have weighed in on the news to tell their subscribers How to Think about the event. (The Post, which covers Virginia sports teams, has reported on the early aspects of the story in the past.)

But it’s Memorial Day weekend and Etute didn’t kill Smith with an assault rifle, so it’s not a high priority. By the end of this week, though, what will emerge as The Narrative of this news?

My typo, I meant “presenting himself as a woman on Tinder,” not Twitter. (Not that that doesn’t happen too on Twitter, but it’s more from guys frustrated because they aren’t getting enough Likes for their hot takes on current events.)

To paraphrase Wordsworth on Milton:

Tom Wolfe! Thou shouldst be living at this hour
