General thuggishness - don't let it take over your community.

Although the attackers were identified as black youths and the children who were attacked were white, law enforcement officials attributed the attack to "thuggishness" rather than racial animosity.

That's Liberal claptrap for ya. Minorities can't engage in hate crimes; only whitey.

I won't even go into the whole 9-hour-wait routine by the police. Calling 911 ain't nothing but government sponsored dial-a-prayer. And thanks to the gun-grabbers, all thugs, criminals and terrorists know that their intended victims are typically disarmed.

What a fouled-up world.

This could not possibly be a race-based hate crime. The victims were white & the perps were black.

What state?

Fruit of the breakdown of the family. How much do you want to bet there is no loving father present in those kids'lives.

If it were whites attacking a smaller number of preferred minorities, you would have heard "hate crime", and they would have been on it like stink on excrement.

With a police department like that one it is easy to see why so many "serious" matters were occurring at the moment, and why families would feel fearful of letting their children out of their homes.

Political correctness has turned us in to prisoners in our own homes.

Hmm, 5 against 3...

Having grown up in a NYC Housing projects in the 60's and 70's - I can tell you from first hand experience that these thugs enjoy outnumbering thier victims.

You'd be amazed at the attitude change when it's one on one...

If these were gangbangers or banger wannabes, there's no way race didn't enter into it -- race is too big a part of what the gang rats are about.

Send the monsters (my other words would get my post stricken or me banned) to prison for for ten years of gang rape.

Close in time to the park assault, numerous deputies were pursuing a fleeing car thief about 4 p.m., and had set up a large containment area, including a sheriff's canine unit.

What strikes me is the above! Since when is a carjacking more important than three children who were beaten? What the heck is wrong with this picture? No doubt they couldn't wait for the race to begin so they could tool around LA at 120 mph. hunting the bad guy.

[GodfearingTexan]

boy...i sure do hate to think about this happening to my kids. i think i'd get a rope.
