When was that confirmed in relation to when his background was reported? And the answer could simply be because it's a tabloid for the lowest common denominator.
I've never suggested that it matters. I've never suggested that the article was 'right' in any sense of the word. I'm simply suggesting that had the man been white, his criminal background would have just as likely been spewed out by these terrible news sites. The difference is, if a redneck had his child fall into a gorilla pit and his criminal background was reported, you wouldn't be on here 'defending' him.
Not to mention that the "great FB post" article is actually just wrong. Mentioning different situations where people died, or animals didn't, during an era where social media and media journalistic integrity was different doesn't prove any point. Some of it is simply garbage.

Last year, a child fell into the cheetah exhibit at the Cleveland Zoo. The child and his parents were never identified.

Type in cleveland zoo cheetah in the ol google machine and tell me how long it takes to identify the mother. Hint: The very first article is about the mother, including her name, getting a year probation. Such a garbage article you posted.
Why wasn't there the same outrage? No animals were harmed, the child wasn't killed..
