The protest marches about the Big Dan's case may have been held to protest
racial discrimination, but the people marching were quoted as saying "These boys
did nothing wrong."  A rather ambiguous statement--do they mean that these
particular young men didn't do it, or that what they did wasn't wrong.  I think
the newspaper/newsradio media in this case played up the ambiguity for that
extra thrill.

Perhaps some have gotten the wrong impression of this case, but with help like
this from the news, well.
