Teens set kid on fire for being 'white boy'
NYdailynews ^ | Sunday, March 04, 2012

Posted on 03/22/2012 6:41:01 AM PDT by RC one

A 13-year-old boy who police say was doused with gasoline and lit on fire last week while walking home from school is recovering from first-degree burns to his face and head.

The boy was just two blocks from his home in Kansas City Tuesday when two teenagers began to follow him and then attacked him, his mother, Melissa Coon, said.

Police have described the suspects as black 16-year-olds, while the victim is white.

"We were told it's a hate crime," Coon told KTLA.

How can it be a hate crime if the victim is white? Only white people can be racist! Diversity scholars have told me so!

The poverty pimp “reverend” Al would never call out his own peeps for doing something wrong

I doubt he even sees it as wrong

and he speaks for all black people, right?

is recovering from first-degree burns to his face and head.

First-degree burns means surface redness, a mild sunburn. Either this is an error in the article, or those were some totally incompetent thugs.

Unfortunate family name for the victim. Maybe if they had called him by his last name it would be a hate crime...

Good timing on this. Sure seems like a race war is being fomented by the media and some ground crews.

you read it here first.

Combination of a smart kid and incompetent thugs. Kid was able to lift his shirt and smother the flames quick enough to prevent any serious damage.

Now, back in the olden days if this happened, a certain part of the city would (***comment removed before the mods see it***), but then it would be safe to walk the city streets for many years.

I read that story yesterday. It was FReeped.

And while a Google search for Trayvon Martin results in 609 MILLION results, where do we see the national outrage over the black on white crimes like the story in Tulsa or this story about a kid set on fire?
