A sensational couple of deaths has just happened. Two men were pulled from their car and beaten to death for wrecklessly driving into three women on the stoop of a house.

Curiously absent is the race of those who did it. Make all the assumptions you wish, I am not race baiting, but if they were white, this whole article would have been written differently, or am I wrong??

My apologies, I put in Van, Race and a couple of others and did not return the story.

According to a witness on WGN last night the two men were beaten with bricks dislodged from a wall the van struck.

Just thank god this was not a hate crime. I feel much better now knowing that those two guys beaten to death had met their fate from those with no racial hate motivating their actions. It's almost like they experienced a more just and acceptable death.

Just in case though, one might consider that there may have been some white ancestry in the brick smashers past relations which could be construed as cause for hate crimes statutes to be used here. If the families of the dead drivers feel less than happy about the deaths, I would look for some repressed white hate genes in their DNA.
