Default Angry mob kills man in Texas

For some reason this really disturbs me...

From the Drudge Report's front page http://<a href="http://www.breitbart..._article=1</a>

The crowd managed to kill the passenger, not even the driver, and the kid who was hit didn't even sustain life threatening injuries (so its not like he was smeared on the street or something).

Obviously the details are vague in the article, but[censored] like this still happens in America? WTF?

i'm not familiar with juneteenth day celebrations, but does that mean the crowd was likely black?

if so, how will this affect media coverage (if at all)?

"Juneteenth marks the day Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston in 1865 to share news of the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves two years earlier on Jan. 1, 1863."

he must have made a wrong turn at Albuquerque

Disturbing, but FAR more disturbing on Drudge Report is the link right above that one, in which Rosie O'Donnell is lobbying to backfill Bob Barker on The Price Is Right. That's somehow worse than Pete Myers replacing Michael Jordan on the Bulls after MJ retired.
