I'm convinced the title of Terry's post was not meant to discourage people from feeling sympathy for what these three young men went through in the past year but rather what they probably *won't* endure once the media blowback from this case dies down. Because of their privileged homes and top-tier educations, these three will likely be in better stead to get past this ordeal (i.e. find good jobs, be financial solvent, be accepted in their communities, etc.) than those who don't have a lot of money or an impressive diploma.
That being said, I still don't understand why Terry didn't use the word "allegedly" more often when describing what went on at the party. The racial slurs and request for a white stripper are not, as far as I've read, definitive facts, yet he described them as such.
Having watched his warm on-air persona since his Court TV days and even having engaged in conversation with him on the street last year (I work very near ABC News in DC), I find it unconscionable to believe he would be so heartless as to think these young men - and their families - didn't deserve our sympathy for the pain they've endured over the past year.
