Have you seen the video?  Tons of blatent racial overtones.  And even if nothing was said, if it had been 4 white folks in Arlington kicking and robbing a drunk black guy in front of Mister Days on video, you know it would be pushed as a hate crime in the media and in the courts.

THOUGHT CRIME

Liberals will throw a hissy fit and go back into guilt and denial mode. Only whites can be racists.

This story was all over the press when it broke it wasn’t buried at all.

 

But steve is right – Al and Jesse would have been all over it if it was whitey doing the punching.

 

LMAO at the sentences imposed on these thugs.

Well it technically isn't buried, but it remains local only. Had the roles been reversed it would be national headlines.

It's just like why the Trayvon Martin story is international. I've even read about it in the German media. But the opposite happened with Daniel Adkins, who was hispanic, mentally retarded, who got shot and killed in a Taco Bell drive thru by a black man who was claiming self defense, claimed that Adkins was attacking him with a pipe when all he was holding was a dog leash. Very few people have even heard of the story, and the only “national” news it has gotten was one CNN article, and his parents pleading for an arrest, and even the left won't pick up the story (though huffpo) did solely to attack SYG laws, not to mention that this was trayvon in reverse, yet no attention, no sharptons and jacksons out demanding justice… Just forgotten.

Note they leave out the races, while the entire Trayvon coverage focused on the races.

Reminder, how long was it that Zimmerman wasn't arrested for after he shot Trayvon? 2-3 weeks? It's been 3+ months since Adkins has been killed, still no arrest, yet Trayvon wasn't mentally retarded, yet Trayvon wasn't in a taco bell drive thru, how many people fear for their lives in a drive thru with someone walking a dog? If anything, this story is WORSE than the trayvon shooting, get it's getting totally ignored due to politically correct forces.

I believe he’s from Arlington. As predicted this story was buried, and of course no hate crime charges . Had the roles been reversed, this would be international headlines, with hate crimes charges.

No it wouldn’t, because there was no evidence of motivation due to hate.

:rolleyes:

Right. I’m sure if 4 whites guys beat up a black guy you’d be saying “no evidence of hate”

You don’t know what I’d say. Only I know what I’d say.

So why did they beat him up? are you saying they liked him? No evidence of hate?

Wow, so now we can simply presume it’s a hate crime without evidence other than the races of the people involved? Isn’t that exactly what you were complaining about while starting this thread?

Did you really go to law school? I’m starting to doubt it. Was it online?

Do you have anything other than personal attacks?

Can you provide me an example of a crime that isn't based in hate other than some compassional mercy killing that violates the laws?

So I can hate you dynaroo for being a democrat, a yankees fan, for liking ohio state, for wearing flip flpps and if I beat you up, that's somehow less bad than if I beat you up because you are gay or asian or have HIV or whatever is a protected catergory?

Say if you got killed, do you think the defendant charged with killing you should face less of a penalty because he hated you because of what you wore or your political views than if he killed you over your race of sexual orientation? Why not treat it all the same? Why are some people  more worthy of protection than others?
