Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ^ | 7/16/2013 | Ashley Luthern

A 34-year-old Wauwatosa man told Milwaukee police that he was repeatedly punched Sunday, unprovoked, and heard one of the his assailants refer to Trayvon Martin during the beating.

The man, who was identified in media reports as Christopher Simpson, was attacked about 7:30 p.m. Sunday in the 2600 block of W. Cherry St. in Milwaukee. He told police he was punched in the back of the head, and then several other suspects punched and kicked him when he fell to the ground.

Simpson, who is white, told WTMJ-TV that he was beaten by a group of black teens and that one of them said "This is for Travyon Martin."

Hate crime - victim was attacked because of his race.

Wow now DOJ has a _real_ case. I’m sure they’ll get right on it.

Come on Eric Holder - this one’s a “no brainer.” Let’s prosecute under the Hate Crime statute.

You should never, ever, put yourself in a position that you are alone with a group of black teens at your back.

There have been a few cases like this around the country. Clearly they are hate crimes. I expect all laws to be applied to these cases. We can debate about the wisdom of hate crime laws, but, these laws are on the books. It’s a hate crime when black youth attack whites because they are white, as surely as it would be if whites attack blacks because they are black. Eric Holder, this means that the Justice Department needs to file charges. Thank you

Trayvon was just an excuse for these black thugs to do what they wished to do anyway.

When was the last time you read about a white mob beating blacks.

Islam is just an excuse for these black thugs to do what they wish to do anyway.

Google “George Zimmerman”.

After Obama took office there has been a steady, dramatic increase in the number of Americans owning/possessing weapons. Wonder why?

There has already been several of these attacks, how many will be tolerated before a stop is put to it?

50...100...1000...10,000...how many?
