49. what?
I was quoting Mr. Carr. It seemed like Mr. Carr was under the impression that the shooting was racially motivated, or at least that is how it sounded to me. Or he could be a racist that figured as long as it was one of the students that got shot, it is all good. Who knows.

The students developed their own culture, I doubt more than ten are armed. Expat communities do the same thing. Can they blend in the local culture? I would try. How are the students contributing to the breakdown of the local social fabric? If so, how is resisting an armed robbery and defending himself from attempted murder contributing to it?
Sorry, I don't buy the whole bullshit argument. I have lived in neighborhoods like that. The average native lives in fear of the gangs as much as the students would.

Are you saying Eells shot back because of race?
