I'd be curious what percentage of the weaponry used by these gangs was gathered during the riots not so many years ago after the Rodney King police abuse trials

Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton have been trying to gain solidarity between blacks, latinos. Guess the rank & file haven't gotten the word yet.

"If it's not race motivated, if it's not gang motivated, then what the hell is the motivation?"

How about pure evil? Not too many things more evil than gunning down a perfect stranger minding his own business.

I'd like to see all these "hate crime" laws struck down. They add a banality to real crimes that's sickening.

Next the AP will be shocked, SHOCKED, that there's gambling going on at Rick's Cafe Americain.

Captain Obvious must have joined their news staff.

"Martinez and three other members of the Avenues, a Hispanic gang entrenched in one Los Angeles neighborhood, were convicted of federal hate crimes..."

Would the dead victim be less dead if this were not a hate crime?

Whoever came up with that expression had too much time on his hands.

Ethnic violence are what gangs are all about. It's ever been thus.

were convicted of federal hate crimes usually tagged on white supremacists.

Verrrrry shrewd wording! You're left with the impression that statistically this will show that HISPANICS committed a hate crime on a black guy, right?

Wrong!

They'll go to jail, sure, but STATISTICALLY, this will STILL go down as racist WHITES murdering a black guy!

It's a fact! Statistically, hispanics are classified as WHITES for the purposes of hate-crime statistics.

The only question is why the system is making a point of racial violence between blacks and browns now. What is their political goal here? Some sort of defense of the policy mass immigration?

Meanwhile, black folks (and less often hispanic folks) beat up white kids on a regular basis in the nation's public schools, and nothing is done.
