A Spectre Is Haunting Florida

Terry Wise, 3/25/12:
Wise is usually on the right-ish side, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt -- and a possibly ambiguous sign on ol' Death, up there in his cartoon -- and declare that he's worried about African American men being murdered, as Trayvon Martin was, and not, y'know, trying to muddy up the waters by implying that young black men are all killers anyway.

But, if so, is this cartoon implying that it's futile to investigate any one murder, since there are so many of them? Or that it's just futile to worry about murders when a young black man is killed?
