A 13-year-old Caucasian girl was brutally attacked by a mob of black and Hispanic teen-agers in what appears to be a racially motivated "hate crime" committed in honor of "Beat Up a White Kid Day," reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Authorities say 12 girls and six boys, aged 9 through 15, beat, kicked and choked the girl near Wilbur Wright Middle School in Cleveland, Ohio, in observance of a May Day ritual among the teens.

The Plain Dealer reports police were tipped off that a racial incident might happen and arrived on the scene as the crime was taking place.

Delinquency charges of felonious assault, ethnic intimidation and aggravated riot were filed against the 18 in Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court late last week.

If convicted, the teens face a minimum of one year in a juvenile facility.

Carmen Naso, supervisor of the juvenile justice unit of the county prosecutor's office, told the paper that evidence indicates the victim was attacked because of her race.

According to Naso, the victim remains under medical care and suffers blackouts as a result of the attack.

Five of the assailants attend the middle school with the victim and received 10-day suspensions.

Is this a hate crime?

[goldylight]

No, not when the victim is a white person.

Well, I don't see any mention of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton in this article. So I guess not.

"Is this a hate crime?"

Actually they need to call it a hazing incident. Then it would make network news.

Why is this not a "hate crime"? Shouldn't the perps hang from a higher scaffold?

[twas]

No, it's not a hate crime. In the orginal article (see link above), it was classified as "ethnic intimidation".

This was done to hide the fact that blacks commit hate crimes.

This non-hate crime will not make it's way into the governments hate crime statistics.

There will be no marches. No speaches. No outrage. No calls for justice. No demands for explainations. No accountability.

I remember "Kill Haole" day when I lived in Hawaii, I remember how happy I was I moved from there before I entered junior high school.

Yeah?

Race issues aside (and there seem to be plenty of them, justly so): the perps only received a TEN-DAY SUSPENSION? Once they were adjudged to have "done it," they should be expelled. This isn't a little lunchroom throwdown or a food fight. This was attempted murder or at least GBH.

All other factors aside, the fact is that Ohio doesn't have a "hate crimes" statute, it only has an "ethnic intimidation" statute.

Gotta love that Ohio. There's another thread where an Ohio motel owner poured extra chlorine in the swimming pool and irritated the eyes of some black kids after allegedly racially insulting them for the last couple of days.

I guess it must have been "Get back at blacks for Get Whitey Day" Week.

next year it might be your turn....

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

If this had happened to a minority or homosexual, I think it would have made the national news.
