BELLEVILLE — A Belleville West High School student was beaten aboard a bus on the way to school Monday, and a police spokesman said the beating could be racially motivated.
The 17-year-old victim was white and the teen assailants were black. Police released a video of the beating, which shows the victim being punched repeatedly while other students on the bus gather to watch, some cheering. It doesn't appear that the victim did anything to provoke an attack and tried only to defend himself. Police said it all unfolded in a five-minute span.
The victim was trying to find a seat and was told by two students he could not sit next to them, police said. When he did sit down, one teen tried to push him out of his seat then began grabbing the victim's neck and punching him in the face.
The victim eventually returned to his seat, but another student began taunting him a few minutes later. The victim was then struck in the face.

I wonder when Sharpton or J.Jackson will announce their outrage.

I don’t care what color they are. If that was my kid I would want them all dead. Not saying I would do it...but I honestly don’t know what I would do if I came face to face with one.
I do know that if that was my kid the rest of my life would be spent somehow trying to right the wrong that had been perpetrated.
BELLEVILLE -- A Belleville police spokesman now says an incident where a white student was beaten by teen black assailants on a bus “may not be racially motivated.”
“It was premature on my part,” said Belleville Police Capt. Don Sax. “It was my personal and emotional comment after only seeing the video briefly.”
Sax said police interviewed the 17-year-old Belleville West High student. However, he said he was unaware of what the student told police.
Don’t hold your breath.
Yep, and it’s time whites stop lying to themselves. Decent white folks are going to have to take a stand, and maybe an armed stand. And let the decent folk of other races join in. They can choose between right and wrong.
If we don’t do something pretty quickly our cities will be burned, no one will be able to run a buisiness without being robbed and/or killed, It’s already like that in some places.

Yes, and we are very nearly there, IMHO.

The poor dears who did the beating probably had a tough upbringing and, besdies, the white kid deserved it because.... well, because he’s white. Thank God it wasn’t a black student being beaten by whites. The two reverends would be all over it, elbowing each other aside for the TV cameras, and the Amateur-in-Chief would also have to weigh in on it, as he seems prone to do — whether he is prone to do on every local racially-charged issue around the country (e.g., the Cambridge, Mass. professor case), whether he has the facts or not. And they wonder why we cross the street when we see them coming....
Wrong, what do you think the hate crime charge is for?
Beat up a jerk that happens to be gay and they will charge you with a felony saying you did it because he was gay, not because he was a jerk. They try and prove that you were thinking how much you hated him for being gay while you punched him, not that he deserved it for another reason.
Hehehe, that works really well also... :)
