BC High student beaten, robbed in racial brawl

Thursday, December 20, 2001
In a racially charged brawl, nearly 20 black and Hispanic teens jumped and beat a white Boston College High School student walking to the train station yesterday, taking his wallet and CD player, police said.
``There was a racial epithet that was directed at the victim as he was being assaulted,'' said Boston police spokesman Cliff Connolly, who said the victim was treated at Boston Medical Center.
After school, the victim was on BC High's front walkway when the group converged on him. A female student who interceded sent the gang running into the Harbor Point housing projects, where police caught up with them.
Within 15 minutes of the 2:45 p.m. assault, police arrested two boys - a 13-year-old and 16-year-old, both from Dorchester and not BC High students. One of them waved a knife in the air during the assault.

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.

" 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.
To: antienvironmentalist
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.
To: Blackyce
Poor oppressed white men, my heart weeps.It takes a bigot to downplay a beating like you just did here.
