The real outrage is that no one can mention race or how to approach changing the BS in our schools, the culture and the society that causes people to think like those kids. There's plenty more just like them.

I agree that Al Sharpton is not color blind and has a bias. But to say that liberals should be outraged over this obvious case of race hatred by comparing it to the outrage over the case in florida ignores too much. Did some black leadership try to make the trevon martin case about race? yes. But not everyone who was outraged was outraged because of race. I was outraged because of what the law allows to happen, black white or green.
I am always outraged over race hatred. But that doesn't mean I should join some protest every time it happens. The case of trevon martin, no matter who tried to make it about race, was not about race. Obama did do a disservice to our country by trying to make it about race. What it was about was a poorly written law.
What I object to is your overgeneralization of liberals.
Edited some comments.. don't need to play that game of snide comments..

WHAT IS THERE TO PROTEST?
That the white boy who was driving is just being charged with being an accessory, while the other black kid who was just riding in the car is being charged with murder.
How's that?

I'd heard about it. What's to protest? So far it seems like the wheels of justice are turning appropriately.

Yeah, of the three the white boy will not get the death penalty. Why's that?

warning warning.. pure mental speculation ahead..
It sort of sounds like the white kid is talking to the prosecutor. I wonder if that is why he is getting a lesser charge. From some of the comments in the news stories it sounds like the other two kids are clamming up. First to talk gets the best deal.
I have no idea if this is true. Just speculation on my part. Don't quote me as saying that it is fact.

Here ya go:
Hicks charged Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, of Duncan, with first-degree murder. Under Oklahoma law they will be tried as adults. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan, was charged with using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and with accessory to first-degree murder after the fact. He is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court. http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-naw-wn-thrillkill-20130821,0,1232644.story
No death penalties, though, for any of them.

I think dirtbag was saying that he was waiting to form an opinion as to why.

Seems like a racial motive has now been established in this one, but we'll have to see if more facts emerge.
Have Holder and Obama weighed in yet?
From http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/21/justice/australia-student-killed-oklahoma/index.html
And three days before what police call the indiscriminate shooting, the suspect, 15-year-old James Edwards Jr., tweeted, "With my ns when it's time to start taken life's."
Back in April, he tweeted, "90% of white ppl (people) are nasty. #HATE THEM
Guess the white punk co-defendant was one of the "non-nasty" 10% of whites who may have deserved to live, to Mr. Edwards' mind.

Must be nice, having to go halfway across the country to find a murder to discuss.
In San Bernardino, people talk about the murder across the street.
I remember visiting my uncle in Fontana for Christmas one year. There was a murder at the end of his ( short ) street early that morning. Four houses down. All the while we were enjoying a fine meal and each other's company, someone was laying in the street under a yellow tarp.

Setting President? I prefer pointers and spaniels, but those Irish setters are a fine looking animal, pretty smart, but not POTUS material.
Anyhow,WTF is a "pouring outcry"? Is that 10th grade dropout-c#m-deckswabber speak?
