Talk:Killing of Scott Guy

Racism?
I am intrigued by the reference to King attributing the public's interest in the case to "unadulterated racism". That is the first time I have heard such a comment. Is there any commentary from anyone else to back up that seemingly odd view? Since King himself was under severe stress and died soon after, should we be talking his comments seriously, and even referring to it?203.184.41.226 (talk) 00:04, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * King's calling it "unadulterated racism" is a defence lawyer spinning words though it's also accurate. King was talking about a form of public and media bias where crimes involving whites, and the wealthy, get far more coverage than similar crimes among the browns. Scott Guy was both white and wealthy which lead to sensationalised media coverage. The missing white woman syndrome is also an example of this. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 21:57, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Background
This article is sorely lacking in detail and background information. Up till today, it began with the sentence "The police alleged that Macdonald had held a grudge against Scott after the latter returned from outback Australia in 2008, suggested a leisure park venture, and spoke of his wish to inherit the farm." There is no explanation of who Macdonald was, who Scott Guy was, what the relationship between them was, why Macdonald may have held a grudge, or what a leisure park has to do with the story. It needs a lot more added before it will make any sense to the reader. Doubledowndemo (talk) 00:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
