A 13-year-old boy who police say was doused with gasoline and lit on fire last week while walking home from school is recovering from first-degree burns to his face and head.

You get what you deserve, white boy.'" By lighting the gasoline, the second attacker "produced a large fireball burning the face and hair" of the boy, according to a Kansas City Police Department report obtained by KCTV. "It was pretty bad stuff," Detective Stacey Taylor told the TV station, adding that police

His mother isn’t allowed to have a last name like that, only people of color can use that term.

Did the boy get out his bus on the blacks?

Because if he did, they had the right to do whatever the Hell they want to him apparently.

And in the year that has followed, we haven’t heard a word of this in the media. Not one word.

NO.

At least you remembered the state, I can’t keep it all to memory. I think Michigan but not sure. There was a rash of crimes of black on white at the time. And I’m sure there are many more not making it into print. There was a white girl playing soccer - the opposing team had a black girl and she hurt the white girl claiming she was tripped by her. There was a video here on it/the game.

There was some evidence that the whole thing was a hoax, or at least that’s what the police came to believe. For one thing, his injuries (first degree burns—a sunburn basically) aren’t consistent with the story of his head being doused with gasoline..

Exactly. A last name of "Coon"?

Why hasn't her TV show been cancelled and her life ruined by being born with such a blatantly racist name?

That is the only way to stop this kind of crap. Anyone who would do that to another human being needs to be sent to hell quickly as possible.

This article is OVER A YEAR OLD.

And the Trayvon Martin story was over three weeks old when it made the national media.

This kind of racist attack using gasoline is becoming more common.
