A picture of Holmes released on Friday reveals nothing unusual: Instead of a bulletproof vest, he is photographed wearing a burnt-orange crewneck T-shirt. He is a handsome young man with dark hair, sloping and uneven eyebrows and long sideburns. There is a slight smile across his face; stubble covers his chin.

What are the chances of this description being the same if he wasn’t white. Really frustrated with the way this murderer is being portrayed, since this sort of surprise/shock wouldn’t be given to someone who was a Muslim (‘a suspected jihadist studying neuroscience in order to gain greater access to people’s fears’) or of another race (‘perhaps involved in drugs or gang violence’)
