Shoe is on the other foot?
i personally never want to hear"i'm a victem of a hate crime", ever again. NEVER AGAIN. it's overused and irrelivent anyway. if a black dude assults a white girl or vice versa, it's an assult. that's all it needs to be
When are we going to prosecute people for what they did and not what they think ?
I agree with you. There is no reason that a crime should be elevated over another just because of what race they are. Sex included.
"There is no reason that a crime should be elevated over another just because of what race they are. Sex included."
All true, but as long as the law remains on the books it should be administered equally.
Savages. Lock 'em up.....toss the key.
Does anyone know if these are the first non-white hate crime convictions?
Wonder how the parents would have reacted if it had been white children beating up blacks, never mind I know there would have been riots.
Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton....were for art thou?
Nice to see thew law being applied equally regardless of race, however unfair the law may be in the first place. A few more of these cases might finally convince people that hate crimes rules are unfair to begin with and maybe we can wipe them off the books.
My bet is on the perps...they will eventually get off....400 years of racism ya know...it excuses all hostile actions by the oppressed....
Can you imagine if the races were reversed, three black girls were mauled by a group of whites and a black witness was intimidated?
Can you imagine whites threatening to riot because of a verdict?
There's a double standard. I guess we have lower expectations about the behavior of blacks.
Why did the beating victims and there families have to be escorted out of the back of the court building? They did nothing wrong!!!
Just think. If it had been a love crime everything would have been fine. /sarc off.
In southern California this week, maybe.
"All we can do now is move on." Yep, no hate whatsoever. /sarc
There is a double standard and it has been effective for almost 5 decades to excuse all behaviour by the black community. However, I sincerely believe the window is closing for them. People are really tired of hearing the rhetoric and hopefully bringing back common sense.
If you do something wrong, and I call you on it--know that it's not because your black... it's because you've done something wrong. duh
The racist card just doesn't work anymore. The black community has had a long time to take advantage of the collective guilt of the white community. By and large, they haven't, and now the window of opportunity has begun to close. We've got the Muslim community to hate now and in my estimation, justifiably so. And they may just be much more dangerous than the black community has ever been.
"hate crime....it's overused and irrelevant anyway.....if a black dude assaults a white girl or vice versa, it's an assault...."
read prior post......."shoe is on the other foot..."
could it possibly be that not all hate crimes are committed by "bigoted, privileged, arrogant" white people.
check out the number of racial assaults in schools which are swept under the rug because they don't coincide with the revolutionary plan.
