4/10 UPDATE: Baltimore's police chief today said that the videotaped beating of a white tourist does not appear to be a hate crime, but rather "drunken opportunistic criminality" on the part of a gang of Charm City assailants.
In a radio interview, Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III urged Baltimore residents to "distinguish between criminality and racially motivated crime." Bealefeld, who is white, warned against "race-baiting" and "fear-mongering" in light of the Trayvon Martin shooting and other recent racially charged incidents.

....the videotaped beating of a white tourist does not appear to be a hate crime, but rather drunken opportunistic criminality
Obama approves of this message....
With things getting more and more crazy by the day, I would not be surprised to see a large portion of the black prison population set free. In fact, I’m sure this is part of Holder’s plan.
I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. It will get a whole lot worse as we move closer to November.
I don’t give a flip what color skin somebody has, but you won’t catch this skinny white boy in a large group of black people without backup. Wouldn’t be prudent.
Yeah, I learned that lesson in middle school. Never in my life have I seen a group of whites beating up a black guy, but I have seen and felt it the other way.
I learned everything I knew about racism and racial bigotry from blacks when I was in Junior High School.
The video of this guy being beaten, robbed, humiliated by these freakin jackals is exactly how I remember the behavior of the blacks during desegregation and busing.
I really struggle with this. Being a lil white boy in a school with around 65% blacks, we were ganged up on. Had our lunches stolen, money taken, tennis shoes stolen.
They hated whites. I was a young kid that knew nothing about racism when I entered into JHigh. I went to the school of hard knocks...literally.
You and me both. My parents moved to the inner city just in time for me to enter high school. Gangs of black students jumped and beat up on lone white students. They stole from whites and shoved whites’ lunch trays onto the floor. The black girls were the worst. They stationed themselves at the restroom doors and forbade any white girls from entering. And the blacks rioted whenever they didn’t get their way. Prior to high school, I thought all black people were like the ones I saw on TV...”Julia,” Bill Cosby, etc. I thought blacks were all wonderful, noble people who’d been mistreated and only wanted fairness and decency.
It was quite an awakening.
It's the way of pack animals.
Hmm - and somehow I missed President Obama’s statement on this attack, like I missed his statements on all those other black on white attacks that have occurred recently - I’m going to have to get my hearing tested......
