A man was fatally beaten near the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia when a group of men attacked him, mistakenly thinking that he was yelling at them instead of a cab driver who passed him by.

Let me guess, the perps are .... Amish? More black on white crime that isn’t racism.

Thats a drunken rowdy area in Philly at night. People there were acting like drunken animals. Very different in the day it seemed, much more tourist friendly.

No description of the perps, of course. Given that this was late at night in downtown Philly, I’m afraid that the odds are about 99-1 that they were Holder’s people, just doing what Holder has told them to do.

Anybody want to guess how much the city spent paying the police over time to watch the Occupy Philly clowns ?

Here is the general rule to follow; If the perps are white and the victim a minority, you will see and hear about it on the national news. Also, you will be given the race of the perps and the race of the victim. Included with be a background report on how racism continues to exist in the U.S.
If the perps are minorities and the victim white, you may hear or read about it in your LOCAL news.

So, let me get this straight. It would be okay to kill the guy if he was yelling at the yutes? I am assuming they are black, and of course the perp is white but it isn't a race or hate crime. It's a random event. There is no description of the perps, although some one apparently witnessed this animalistic event, so that is a sure give away the perps were either black, hispanic or muslims. Most likely black.

Nope, I am not prejudiced, just aware of the realities of today's world.

So Disney’s political tourism show will be offset by “Holder’s people”. Oh well, a zero sum gain is the best you can ask for in the Obama Whitehouse.

No. This isn't the same country your parents grew up in.

In the FBI statistic these murderers will be listed as “white” offenders. If they were victims, they would be listed as “Hispanic.”

How could white-on-white be a hate crime? It’s not like the dead man was gay or anything.

Apparently, it’s the yuppie bar district of Philly- kinda like Rush Street in Chicago. Many a drunken young white lad feeling his oats. I’ve read a few versions of this story, the latest was he stopped a cab that refused to take him and the two women he was with- either because the cabbie already had passengers or they were only going a short distance. He then swore at the cabbie. I don’t believe the story about the thugs incorrectly thinking he was talking to them. I’m guessing the thugs either made a nasty comment to the women or they were stuck behind the cab while the young man and the ladies were arguing with the cabbie and the punks told them to move it. I have a feeling the young man exchanged words with them and they then beat him to death. The moral is, if you’re gonna act like a tough guy, you better realize there are some really nasty, vile subhumans who’ll kill you at the drop of a hat.
