A recent mob-beating of a Buffalo, NY teen has caused a great deal of outrage within the community, and while the crime has been covered locally, the national mainstream press has completely ignored the story. The victim is white and the assailants were black.
On August 18, Brian Milligan Jr., 18, was walking home when he was reportedly attacked at the corner of Genesee Street and Floss Avenue, by between 10 to 15 black men. In addition to being punched and kicked, Milligan’s attackers hit him in the back of the head with a brick.
Amazingly, despite his severe injuries, Milligan managed to stumble the remaining five blocks to his house where he collapsed.
His father, Brian Milligan Sr. told a WGRZ reporter: "I mean, I couldn't believe that a human can lose so much blood and walk home for five blocks. It didn't even look like my son.”
Milligan who spent several days in the Erie County Medical Center, suffered bleeding in his brain and a broken jaw, which will require the reinforcement of a metal plate and reconstructive surgery, the extent of his brain injuries is not yet fully known..
Milligan’s girlfriend Nicola Fisher, who is black, has told police that the two were often threatened and taunted as they walked together through their neighborhood.
Milligan‘s father believes his son‘s relationship with Fisher was the motivation behind the attack. He said: "They're just in love. They just want to be left alone,"
Police are investigating the attack as a hate crime, and Buffalo Police spokesperson Mike DeGeorge told reporters: "The department is vigorously investigating this tragic incident like it does with all crimes in the city. We understand the family's grief and the department is asking anyone with information about this incident to call the confidential tip call [716] 847-2255.”
Despite that assurance from the Buffalo Police, Milligan’s father has expressed his frustration with the current investigation, and recently said: "I don't want to sound wrong, but, what happens if this was a black boy laying up on that bed, and it was twelve white guys that did this to him.”
At this time, no arrests have been made in this case
Buffalo Common Council Majority Leader Rich Fontana has offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Milligan’s assailants. Anyone with information on the beating is asked to call the Buffalo Police tipline is 716-847-2255.
A fund has been started to assist the Milligan family with Brian’s enormous medical bills. Donations can be sent to:
Brian Milligan, Jr. benefit account c/o Leslie Milligan Bank of America 6041 Transit Road Depew, NY 14043
This is a hate crime motivated by race. R
Where is the federal gov’t in investigating this hate crime?
Here’s your answer:
against a white teenager
The victim is white.
This cannot possibly be a hate crime.
I do not do /sarc tags.
The victim can and should be charged for making the blacks hate him enough to attack him. /sarcasm
If the combination of victim and perpetrator is politically incorrect, the crime is just a local story. If the combination is politically correct, it's a national or international story.
Just where is Capt Obvious when you need him.
I wanted to post a pithy reply like NO SH!T SHERLOCK! but trying to keep with decorum I decided not to.
What MSM will report will be something like:
"a white man attacked 10 to 15 afro-American choir group while they practiced their urban kumbya glee club ministry, repeatedly throwing his face at their clenched hands as they cringed from the unwarranted assault by the white supremacy group leader.
Rev Jackson will hold a prayer vigil asking for donations to thwart the hate filled ideology of the perp then leave directly from there to attend his illegitimate daughters birthday party hosted by the president and Hugo Chavez at an undisclosed location in Libya.
:(
It’s kinda even worse: it was a white teenager that wasn’t an inveterate racist, who was dating a black girl.
The “Let’s not prosecute this as a hate crime” people will show up soon, and I’d just like to say what I always say in this situation:
I oppose hate-crime laws and think they should be repealed. However, as long as we’re going to have them, they should be enforced equally. If a gang of whites would be slapped with a hate-crime charge for beating up a black kid, then a gang of blacks should be charged with a hate crime for beating up a white kid.
Poor guy. Guess those thugs just couldn’t stand the thought of a “sista” dating outside her race. Hope the victim makes a full recovery.
I’ll tell you fine folks why ‘hate crime’ attacks on whites are not reported by the national lamestream media.
It is no secret that the above mentioned media is liberal, left and in the tank for all things opposed to traditional, conservative, American values. The media HATES America, they hate the America of Ronald Reagan and they hate what they consider white Anglo-Saxon values. They want to tear down this Republic and they’ve been in mass orgasm mode since last November when their boy and his thugs seized our government.
Now having said all that, HERE is why hate crimes committed against whites by blacks are ignored by the media:
IF there is a ‘hate crime’ committed against a black, the media pounce on it like a tiger pounces on raw meat because they KNOW and WANT to incite and inflame the black community and reinforce the idea that America is at heart, a racist, anti-black, plantation lovin’, Stars & Bars flyin’, Confederate pack o’ rednecks hummin’ Dixie morning, noon and night. THAT is the image of America they want to continually drum into the heads of not only blacks, but ALL non-white Americans. To them, white America is the enemy.
BUT: if there is a ‘hate crime’ committed against a WHITE, that crime goes begging for attention because the media does NOT want to inflame and incite and generally piss off white Americans because they want to continue to treat us like mushrooms, “in the dark, can’t see or hear anything, and we get fed nothing but sh*t”.
There you are, the media wants to keep non-white America in a simmering, resentful, agitated state so that ‘come the revolution’, they’ll be ready to jump up and start wiping out Whitey. Likewise, they want white-America to be as totally unprepared and surprised when such mass violence breaks out.
And here is the most ironic and cynical fact of all: the media doesn’t care about black victims of crime, they damn sure don’t care about white victims of crime, their objective is to manipulate both groups (and other minorities) so that the possibility of a race war, riots and chaos remains likely. As the media sees it, America has to be destroyed, and what arises from the ashes is NOT going to be a re-creation/re-invention of the Founding Fathers ideals and dreams, if the media has anything to say about it.
We as Americans know why this is not being reported nationally, it does not fit the MSM’s template of structured right and wrong. Cause they can not blame it on a white person. (Could the term “White” be racist in itself? Are we not all Americans?)
Just as Henry Louis Gates of Cambridge (another butt boy for Obama) is not just a racist, he could not be an elitist racist or nothing more that a radical attempting to gain powers for himself. Just color them Red and you know the color of their character; just more “enemies, foreign and domestic.”
Don’t forget this one

Remember this one?

Ohhhhhhhhhh...yeah...they were in ALL the papers...arggghhhhh.
Up yours with that “white” stuff. And don’t you dare call me “caucasian.”
I am an American of Northern European Descent.
There’s a lot more, too many to remember, and it looks like there will be a lot more. It won’t be reported and it won’t be addressed because it happens because of liberalism and liberalism will never admit it’s wrong.
The answer can be found within the question.
When the reckoning comes, I’ll probably shock myself with the things I’ll be able to “turn away” from. Then they’ll spend 500 years asking how so many people “turned away”.
I expect zer0 will be silent on this one.
But he jumped in with both feet on the Gates thing.
You’d almost think he attended a racist church for 17 years.
There was one here a white girl attacked by a bunch of black girls. They didn’t get any punishment...absolute travesty
I prefer the term North Sea Islander myself.
"That's a good one, Al."
Remember what the NBP thug said outside the Philadelphia polling place.
“You’re going to learn what it’s like to be ruled by the black man.”
He wasn’t kidding. And he was correct — we are learning.
Why..........
because to Leftists, whites owe this to blacks.
That’s the simple truth.
This is just one of many examples that isn’t a hate crime because the victim(s) are white.
I should think that if white-on-black beat downs were as common as black-on-white beat downs are, we wouldn’t hear much about those, either.
let us make it a goal to eliminate the whole concept of ‘Hate Crime’ as newspeak from 1984 or A Brave New World
it is in reality a ‘Thought Crime’ and violates the 1st Amendment...
....I can Hate as much as I like and if I commit an act of violence I should only expect to be charge with that act of violence and not my thoughts, hates or feelings.
Answer: The victims are white, and no longer matter.
Hate crimes were used by the Romans to persecute the Christians. They are very effective tools if you wish to control a segment of your population.
Well exactly. The first year of the new Hate Crime laws, black males made up a large proportion of people charged with a Hate Crime. After that, the authorities were told to stop charging them unless the victim was a more sympathetic victim (like a gay person). The numbers dropped but not enough so they told them to just quit charging black males completely.
Now they know why we’re buying ammo and what shoots it at record numbers. If they want a war, they should have picked a less numerous (and well armed) opponent-! And been less identifiable-! Good thing for the Left we’re slow to anger...
“Why has the press ignored hate crime against a white teenager?”
The vast majority of racist murders and other assaults are against white people.
This is what the left wants: to seperate Americans along the lines of race. As long as blacks can play the race card without being called on it and whites are told feel guilty because we are white, America will never be united.
I,myself,am proud to be called American first amd German second.But as long as blacks, Hispanics and other groups are taught that America is bad because of whatever and they have a right to be angry, the left wins.
More importantly, why hasn’t the Messiah mentioned it? I mean Obama could say something to the affect that Brian’s parents are overreacting and invite the attackers and Brian’s parents (since Brian can’t make it right now) over to the White House for tea and cookies or something.

“As the media sees it, America has to be destroyed...”
I’m trying to understand what you’re saying...other than sensational stories, what I don’t get is what the media has to gain from America being destroyed? Or is that it?
Would the Manson Murderers been brought to justice today?
The media rarely report crimes like this because:
1) Black on white crime is MUCH more common than the reverse
2) The media DO NOT want the white folks (and good black folks—there are many) to know HOW BAD these crimes are because these crimes erase the illusion of so-called white racism.
3) The media are TAUGHT in journalism school to take the side of the so-called oppressed minority—see Newhouse School of Communications @ Syracuse University
4) The editors of most of the media in this country are more conserned with sensationalism than fact....got to sell ad space
5) Most of the media are racist themselves—in their twisted view, Black folks either don’t know any better therefore committ crimes or are lashing back at thousands of years of oppression.
JMO..
What about the recent killing this summer of the white teen boy by a gang of black boys here? It was in Anne Arundel; I think around Crofton.
Same thing - got some local press, but nothing national.
“if I commit an act of violence I should only expect to be charge with that act of violence and not my thoughts, hates or feelings.”
This “thought crime” nonsense all just makes it seem that the guy who butchers someone just for the heck of it, with no “thoughts” except to kill, is really squeeky clean!
Absurd. Hence my tagline.
Hey, nice to meet a “German” for a change (as if there weren’t many - we just don’t brag).
Anyway, I agree with you.
Libs aren’t about “love” at all. They’re about jealousy and envy and hatred.
I wonder if black on white hate crimes will increase with the Joker as president.
