St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson has called in the FBI to help investigate what he is calling a hate crime because a woman assaulted by three black teens is Bosnian.
The Friday morning attack occurred in the Bevo Mill neighborhood where earlier this week a Bosnian man was killed with a hammer by a group of teens.
In Friday’s case, the woman, 26, told police that she was driving in the 4600 block of Lansdowne Avenue about 5:25 a.m. when three men in their late teens to early 20s walked in front of her vehicle.
When the woman attempted to drive around the young men, at least one of them pulled a gun and ordered her to stop. One of the men struck the windshield with an object police said could have been a crowbar. The woman was pulled from the vehicle while another of the men opened the passenger door and went through the woman’s purse, saying it was empty. One of the men threw her cellphone to the ground and stomped on it.
One of the men asked where the woman was from. She said she was European.
“You’re a (expletive) liar. You’re Bosnian. I should just kill you now,” Dotson said of the woman’s account.
Based on that comment, he said, police are labeling the assault as a hate crime.
The woman was pushed to the ground and kicked before the attackers fled. A passer-by told police the woman was found unconscious. She declined to be taken to a hospital for treatment, saying she would go later.
Dotson said designating the attack as a hate crime could lead to additional charges and prison time. Suspect descriptions are scant and he is urging the community to help identify the men.

I sure hope she wasn’t murdered because of a hate crime.

You cannot trust you fate to the mercy of the merciless .
As one who was almost race mugged to death once , I know .
I couldn’t defend myself , but was able to run , badly injured, but I ran .
white folks need to start packing . Everybody , everywhere
I’m a little suspicious of this - I think she was probably attacked because she was white, but I would say she added the “Bosnian” comment herself because the Bosnians in that area have been protesting the hammer attack (which was actually anti-white, since there was no way the attackers could have known that the couple they attacked was Bosnian).
I doubt that most of the black teenagers in this most recent case even know the word Bosnian, but she was probably aware that saying she was attacked because she was white would probably result in Eric Holder’s giving a medal to the attackers.
Maybe true, but there’s a good chance the word “Bosnian” will soon cause fear in the black community there.
Bosnians need to start packing and I do not say that lightly.
“Is there a prominent Bosnian community in the area,...”
Yes there is, there are many Bosnian immigrants living around there.
I’m pretty sure the local people know they are Bosnian. Wait’ll these guys get a load of the Mexicans their beloved Obama is sending their way!
Only about 70,000, the largest Bosnian community outside of Bosnia... it’s all.
Of course.
Yes, and they’re not your friends!
While growing up in Detroit in the 60’s and 70’s, blacks were still in the minority in my particular area. The most common ethnic groups were Polish and Jewish. One of our neighbors introduced me to pickled beets, which, I suppose were a common item in Polish menus. I like picked beets to this day.
They knew enough to hate Bosnians, but were too dumb to know Bosnia is on the European Continent? I do think they are guilty of beating her up, regardless, so they deserve to be punished.
Meanwhile at MSNBC, with regards to this story, you can hear cricket chirps.
I loved pickled beets and I have worked in downtown Detroit.. I am not Polish or Jewish.
LOL. I love that movie!
“I sure hope she wasn’t murdered because of a hate crime.”
Not possible. Bosnians are white.
