Hate crime suspected in attacks in Ballard: 4 men crashed party, beat up 'white guys'
Seattle Times ^ | Feb. 22 | Ian Ith

Seattle police are trying to track down four Hispanic men for possible hate-crime charges after they crashed a house party in Ballard early yesterday and trounced several white guests because they felt like "beating up some white guys," police said.

A 17-year-old Crown Hill boy suffered head and body injuries and remained in serious condition at Harborview Medical Center yesterday.

Partygoers at the house in the 1500 block of Northwest 60th Street told police that the four, in their 20s, showed up uninvited about 12:30 a.m. All were dressed alike in blue FUBU-brand jackets and black pants.

A teenage girl was holding the party in her home because her mother was out of town, police said. No one knew the four men.

One of the men asked a partygoer, a 21-year-old black man, "Do you feel like beating some white guys?" according to a police report.

The black man said no and stepped out back to smoke. When he came back inside, he told police, he saw the men jump the white Crown Hill teen, knock him to the floor and punch and kick him repeatedly.

Another partygoer tried to help the teen, but the attackers punched him in the face several times, police said. Several other guests also were punched, police said.

The attackers left the Crown Hill teen lying on the front steps and ran to a red or maroon Toyota Corolla, witnesses said. Then two came back and kicked the teen in the head a few more times. Then they all sped off in the car.

Police say the girl who hosted the party could be charged with alcohol possession. After sending everyone home, officers collected about 50 beer and liquor bottles from the house.

Perhaps the police should be more focused on arresting the violent criminals in this story instead of picking up beer bottles.

Yep, it's only whites who hurt and hate blacks. That's right. Never doubted it for a minute. Nope, sure didn't.

Has it ever occured to any of us that "PC" can also stand for

"Privileged Character?"

No, I'm sure it hasn't. Not in our socialist democracy republic.

Don't you just love how this crime is reported? "Hate crime suspected..."

Goodness sakes, we wouldn't want to jump to any conclusions without first getting political clearance to call it a hate crime based on race.

Blame the victims, not the animals who went on a hate crime rampage.

..50 beer and liquor bottles ...

What's the matter with those kids? A liquor bottle upside the punk's head should have been a given. Man, today's youth.... I'm so disappointed.

The 17 year old is lucky to avoid being charged with inciting a hate crime - after all he was being white in the wrong place at the wrong time.

At least he kept his natural euro-racist tendencies in check by not punching back.

When I was younger, four strangers crashing a party and assaulting one of my friends would garner them a very serious ass-whupping from everyone present. But, then, Southern boys weren't effeminized, then. Now, though...? The Kid.

Since the Left in this country is showing no abatement of its trash whitey rhetoric I think we can safely predict (if we are lucky) a civil war or a genocide in some future decade.

The sad part is that if any of the white teens had engaged in a defensive assault, they would have been charged with a hate crime.

Maybe Momma should stay home more often. It sounds as though there was quite a party going on there.

But anyway, now we have hispanics crashing a party and beating up a white guy with a black guy excusing himself and walking outside for a smoke. It was the hispanics doing the beating this time. Ok, I guess that we just have to get all of them. (Let God sort them out?)

And judging from the conditions of our inner cities, some are already practicing for it.

Lets see, Four men crashed a Party (forcible Entry?) Beat up a party-goer, (Assault?) and returned to Kick a downed victim in the head repeatedly... (Battery?) and the only charges mentioned in the story is "Possession of Alcohol" by the victims?

Hmmm, Down here in Redneck country Forcible entry is met with "Armed Resistance" (and I am not talking about Baseball-bats!) Why didn't these folks use a weapon to... Oh sorry missed the part about Seattle... Never Mind!

(It must be loads of fun to live in Liberal La La land where guns are prohibited for defense! Glad to see the Police showed up to charge the Criminals with "Possession of Alcohol!" I bet all those Kids feel much safer now! /Sarcasm)

Perhaps Dubya can win over these youths to the GOP with a little mangled Spanish, these youths are our future.
