The DailyMail published his photo, and also, even better, doesn't have a paywall:

The NYT wouldn't have hesitated to publish Tyrese's photo had he been white and Fahim had been black. Probably their respective races would have even been mentioned in the headline.

You’re being downvoted because this is unhelpful speculation which adds nothing to the discussion - be it true or untrue. If the response to what you say is “OK...”, what you have said is not terribly interesting.

how do you downvote on here?

You need to have a certain amount of karma before it appears

You need 400 or 500 karma/points before the downvote button shows up.

You need more than 500 karma: https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented

Which makes sense. Black people have historically been and currently are scapegoats for a lot of crimes they did not commit. Kinda makes sense to give them more leeway.

So have the Irish, Chinese, and Italians. What does the crimes of others of the same race have to do with it?
