And here I was thinking that 20 odd years of busing cured Boston of those divisive racial hatreds!! I can only hope that the parents of this poor kid were some snooty liberal Boston hacks, so they can reap what the sowed!! (I say this because no "self respecting" liberal hypocrite with a grain of common sense sends his kids to a Boston public school!)

"Hate Crime", there is a piece of newspeak if ever I've heard one. The thugs assulted and robbed someone, what they said while doing it is irrelevant, and not only irrelevant but constitutionally protected irrelavency.

Congrats, you just wrote Jesse Jacksons opening remarks regarding this incident.

"20 on 1 is not a brawl"

You are right, this is an extraordinarily misleading choice of words. It immediately suggests a kind of equivalency that is unsupported by the facts. Kind of like a recent Reuters story which described the murder of white farmers by black thugs in Zimbabwe as "a controversial land-reform program."

A female student who interceded sent the gang running into the Harbor Point housing projects, where police caught up with them.

What a bunch of sissys. In my day it took two girls before we would run away.

We can save that village, good idea.

She must have been built like Xena.

" That is armed robbery, and assult with a deadly weapon.Now, AppyPappy, let us keep an eye on this story,as I would bet you a dollar to a dime that they are not charged with this.

I grew up in Newton and graduated from Boston College, so I am quite aware of the liberal mindset in Boston. But don't bet against a retaliation by the BC boys.

Poor oppressed white men, my heart weeps.

It takes a bigot to downplay a beating like you just did here.

[skeeter]

Poor oppressed white men, my heart weeps.

Fair enough. Just like you I couldn't care less when I hear prattle about oppressed minorities.

You may be right, Dirtboy. I don't know what he said, but the moderator thought it was bad enough to remove.

Hey Skeeter, how about them Sharks?

The high capacity magizine ban should be repealed.

You have to live in California to appreciate your fine wit.

They're the biggest thing goin' in SJ, but I still haven't made it to a game...

The whole race racket really is becoming a parody of itself and it's no more apparent than here...
