"Police are investigating a brick with an offensive message thrown into the window of an East Austin home.
The brick, thrown through a 4-year-old boy’s bedroom window, read “Keep Eastside Black. Keep Eastside Strong.”
The homeowner, Barbara Frische, who is white, said she has lived in the home for 10 years.
“It’s the first time anything like this has ever happened to me,” she said.
Police have not classified this incident as a hate crime, said Austin Police Sgt. Richard Stresing, because hate crimes target an individual specifically because of an identifying characteristic, like race. Police say the incident has been classified as criminal mischief and deadly conduct.
Incidents found to be based on race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability or gender are flagged as hate crimes, Stresing said, so they can be referred to the Department of Justice.

In the Liberal Utopia, all the animals are equal, it's just that some animals are more equal than others.
I’m sure they’ll charge the white family with some sort of hate crime.
I’m sure Obammie the Commie will say the white home-owner acted stupidly.
Under that, it said "Peace out!".
Was the brick Mirandized? Was the brick allowed to talk to a lawyer? Did the brick come from a poor and disadvantaged set or circumstances which would explain the brick’s behavior?
Who writes these headlines?
Paging Barack Obama.
CNN.
Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Huh? It says on the brick "Keep Eastside black," and it was thrown through the home of the only white family. What else do they need?
Someone please explain to me why this incident would not be considered a ‘hate crime’ under the definition. The message is clearly race related and because it was attached to a brick thrown through a window, it is clearly intimidation and criminal.
This is not being prosecuted because the victim is white. Are whites excluded from the hate crimes laws?
The brick, thrown through a 4-year-old boy’s bedroom window, read “Keep Eastside Black. Keep Eastside Strong.
Do they not even see the disconnect? They usually do a better job of trying to convince us they aren't twisting rules.
The brick was later arraigned before a wise Latina and released.
WHY ISN’T THIS A HATE CRIME????
Not a hate crime? Good, then when it happens again only the other way around, it won't be a hate crime. By golly, I think we got something here.
The answer to your question is yes. I don't mean any criticism of you personally but anyone who doesn't realize this is totally unaware of the reality out there. Hate crime laws are meant only to target whites.
This is clearly a hate crime and the authorities should throw the book at the brick.
What’s the big deal? They’re just taking their cues from Dear Leader.
What is it...whites, Christians, old white Christians, and ???
Sort of leaves it open for some people to just be done away with, doesn’t it?
nope, whites WILL be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
