Showing Original Post only (View all)Wisconsin 4-year-old foils sitter’s plot to blame ‘home invasion’ and robbery on ‘black men’ [View all]
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/06/24/wisconsin-4-year-old-foils-sitters-plot-to-blame-home-invasion-and-robbery-on-black-men/Last Wednesday, Abby and her sitter were home alone when the sitters boyfriend and another man entered the home with weapons and ordered the two of them out....
The sitter told police shed never seen the men before, but that one of them looked like an African-American neighbor named Cody Oaks.
Police handcuffed Oaks and questioned him for hours. It was Abby, however, who told police that he couldnt be the robber.
It wasnt the right skin color, said Abby. The robbers she saw, she said, were white men.

I would expect that "the black guy" is more common than "THAT black guy"

Absolutely..I agree. Yet there was no mention of that in the story, which I found odd. n/t
