. . . a police spokesman said the beating could be racially motivated.
The 17-year-old victim was white and the teen assailants were black.

Gee, ya think? I guess they have to go the "allege" route in public, but it is time for the authorities to come down HARD on this crap. If they don't they'll be complaining about "vigilantes".

If the victim ‘dissed’ Obama on the bus, he could be the one charge with the hate crime and we would need to understand real and perceived injustices that led these peaceful children into acting out in a socially inappropriate way.

I wish I could say I am being sarcastic.

By the way, dissed is not a word. It pains me to type it.
