The thing about "hate crimes" is that it's difficult to read the person's mind. The question isn't what would happen if the races were reversed. That's a given. The media would've painted "racism" and "hate crime" all over it. I would've heard about it sometime on the news. I didn't find out until I checked out this thread, which is mightily telling. I certainly heard about Mr. Byrd (and was just as horrified) at the time of the crime. Anyway, I wonder what would have happened if both driver and victim were of the same race. We'll not find out in this world.

The victim's relative seems almost disinterested, other than wanting to ask a few questions. I would not be nearly as complacent were I to discover that someone I knew, much less a sibling, was deliberately allowed to bleed to death.

You've got to be kidding! In Charlotte, N.C. just about 2 weeks ago they arrested a gang of black students who were attacking white students (ONLY white students) at the local University. I'm not sure, but I think they killed a couple, or at least came close to it.

They even ADMITTED that they chose their victims based on their race (they had to be white).

Even after this (which doesn't require reading their mind because they admitted it!) the local DA held a closed door meeting with local NAACP officials, and then after the meeting announced that he didn't think he was going to push for HATE CRIME charges. Wake up people!
