Five African-American students seen pummeling a 14-year-old white boy on a school bus in a video released last week have been charged with misdemeanor battery.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office said the State's Attorney's Office "stated that this incident does not meet criteria for a hate crime."

We’ll expect this same ruling if 5 Whites pummel a Black, but they know that never happens, so that’s why they get away with such injustice. All White students should leave that dangerous school.

And if a black kid wearing an Obama hat were beat up by a bunch of white kids it still wouldn’t be a hate crime, right? Right?

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

We're all going to become Saxon before it's over.

It is cultural appropriation for a white heterosexual male to claim to be the target of a hate crime.

Heh, boy. did that ever sound 1984-ish!

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear those young boys doing the beating were indoctrinated at The Ministry of Love...

Right.

I detest the idea of hate crime laws for two reasons: They are not enforced uniformly (mostly in prosecuting white-on-black crime, when the vast majority of crime when race is a factor is black-on-white which is rarely even considered) but most of all, hate crime laws require the prosecutors to assume a mind-set of the aggressor.

I cannot help but be reminded of the NY Law called ‘One-punch’. If anyone punches someone else and the victim falls, injures his/her head and dies, murder was not necessarily intended, so the puncher only gets arrested for assault. Not kidding. The ‘Knock-out “GAME”’ is just that. A GAME for ferals to play. No real consequences if the ‘punchee’ dies.

Hate crime laws are, in fact, hate crimes themselves.

So were these loser ferals beating the white kid because they “loved” him? What idiocy. These “authorities” have their heads far up where the sun don’t shine. Racist nitwits.

The point is that “hate crime” elevates the penalties and these kids, who certainly deserved more severe charges and penalties, won’t get them. Had the races been reversed, however, they would most certainly have gotten them.

That’s the issue. I don’t like the “hate crime” stuff either, but that’s how it is.

Under Florida law, an expression of racial animosity during the attack could make it a hate crime, but political animosity would not.

All so-called “hate crime” legislation should be struck down. It violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. Anybody not included in a “protected class” is being discriminated against.

I do too but as long as the legal momster exists, it needs to be applied to all, or none.

Until we get back to none, it needs to be applied to everyone.

...a 14-year-old white boy...

Ah, you can stop reading right there. According to the leftists whites are automatically guilty and cannot themselves be victims of anything racially related.

I'm somewhat surprised that the poor white kid wasn't charged with something racially insensitive for not supporting the minority culture to act out physically. He should've just taken it, and then paid them his lunch money as reparations. That's the leftist mindset.

I just checked the statute. There’s one interesting omission: political affiliation. IOW, the state’s attorney is arguing the vic wasn’t attacked because he was white. He was attacked for being a Trump supporter, and that isn’t criminal act under FL’s statute.

There’s a new brand of hate being harbored these days, and it’s political.

These laws don’t seem to be serving anyone other than the Left.

It was always meant to equalize the crime rates between blacks and whites. It is part of cultural Marxism.
