I will be waiting to see if this remains a hate crime and will Cleveland allow the charges to stand as hate crimes.. ???

Were the perps Holder’s people?

Riding Healthline sounds dangerous to your health.

Since the article didn’t say anything I assume this mob was Amish?

[freeangel]

Nah. I believe the correct PC term meant to lessen the hate crime charge is “ethnic intimidation”. They’ll walk and they know it. After all, their boys are large and in charge now with pens and phones.

There will be pressure from the fed DOJ to drop them.

[Gaffer]

I think I’m just not gonna even read these abridged stories anymore. You know, the ones where they refuse to identify the race/ethnicity of the ‘alleged’ perpetrators? It is just too cumbersome to have to search for it only to find out what was likely is true.

I’m so proud of this man for speaking up, instead of mouthing the usual platitudes about “I don’t know why they did it, it was just a random thing”.

Cleveland bus riders need to have concealed carry permits.

Don’t step onto a bus unless you are heavily armed.

The parents of these feral thugs have failed miserably!

[Secret Agent Man]

police are unsure if a racial hate crime occurred. you know because the attackers were black.

whites attacking black with racial slurs == definitely hate crime

blacks attacking whites with racial slurs == cops unsure if it’s a hate crime

[Kartographer]

I am not surprised Ohio has a lot of the Amish!

Mob of feral Black teens thugs attack man in downtown Cleveland

There. Fixed it.

I thought hate crimes were federal? And anyhow, the current administration at "Just-us" has said that hate crimes happen when a minority or protected class is victimized, not the other way around. Handicapped white veterans may qualify but it's not clear if it still applies when the haters are also a protected class.

What part of Liberia is Cleveland in?

[forgotten man]

“Teens” is a code word used by white racists just like the word “thugs.” The headline writers have to find a new word. /s

[ohiobuckeye1997]

Nope they won’t be charged. Last year everyone was wondering why no one was going to Jacobs field(refuse to use its bastard name) even thought the Indians were good and made they playoffs, maybe something to do with being killed by feral blacks?

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Like in racist public schools where too many minority students are being punished..

the Obama/Holder Dept. of Just Us and Our People must take action to see to it that at least a minimum of five times as many whites are arrested on hate crime charges for what they are surely thinking about these rambunctious youths. It's the new normal.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you.

The last time I was in Downtown Cleveland I did not
see another blessed soul.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Is this why blacks were forced to sit in the back of the bus?

[kenmcg]

Let’s face it the mentality of many of these half wit thugs is that they are carrying on their own little race war.

"The victim said not only did the group taunt him with racial slurs, they also videotaped the incident."

Video taping would indicate a need to provide proof of their worth or loyalty to a cause or group. That suggests to me centralized organization and planning, which would go a long way towards explaining why the MSM and local law enforcement consistently attempt to trivialize these incidents.
