Did this fact somehow escape the person who wrote this horribly slanted article? Bellflower is a working class/poor neigborhood in Southern CA. It is largely hispanic. This kid was not from a wealthy family. He did not have a privileged upbringing. He worked hard to get to UCB.

Race Per 2000 U.S. Census
Hispanic 43.2%

White 30.7%

Black 13.1%

Asian 9.7%

Other 3.3%

"Although details of the fracas early Saturday were still being sorted out, the incident laid bare the two faces of this college town on San Francisco Bay -- the world-class university and multimillion-dollar hillside homes with sweeping views versus the poor and working-class bungalows and apartments of the flatlands."

Oh please....and Thomas Hoeft-Edenfield just happened to have a knife because he was a boyscout?
