Some cops need a permanent furlough.

Either enforce hate crimes evenly or dispose of them all. Murder is murder, assault is asssault, the reason why is immaterial.

MLK, a comic once said something like that it is ironic that every town of size has a MLK Jr. Street and it is usually where all the murders or shootings take place.

As much as I hate the blue states, the city lawyers did the right thing here and shame on the city police department for not seeing this crime for what it is/was.

Hate is hate and racism is racism, no matter who does it.

"Cops locked up five of the alleged attackers — all juveniles — but did not charge them with a bias crime."

Of course not. Only whites can be racist. Right?

And of course the white-supremacy couldn't be left out: "...became a rallying point on white-supremacy Web sites"

[skeeter]

In a case that roiled racial tensions in Brooklyn — and became a rallying point on white-supremacy Web sites — locals are now second-guessing law enforcement.

So - being offended by the racist actions of those thugs puts you in league with the neo nazis.

Cute tactic - and typical of the MSM.

Too bad its no longer affective.

Blacks can't be charged with Hate Crime Ping

[wideawake]

When I was 14 years old a friend and I were mugged on the subway by five black guys.

They punched us, kicked us, took our stuff, all the while shouting "Howard Beach!" (a reference to a racial assault on a black man in Queens), "Cracker Bitch" and similar comments.

We went to the police, and our statement was taken by two black detectives who conveniently forgot to mention the racial aspect of the crime in their report.

[mmercier]

only white people can be charged with "hate" crimes.

[BBell]

If a group of whites assaulted 6 blacks and shouted white power while doing it, it would be on 24/7 on cnncbsabcnbcfox and headlined in the mainstream liberal rags. I've not heard of this incident except for here.

Here's an update on the Marine Park mini-riot

[Clemenza]

Aren't you glad you grew up on the West Coast? I'm sad to say that this sort of thing is more common than you think. :-(

[solitas]

A sad story. A predictable story. I dare someone to tell me I'm a racist for hoping these "20-30" thugs don't live to see May Day. IMO, these animals are not 'black' (as the story identifies them); _they_ are [that word]s.

Their own ignorance and race-hatred is evidenced by their actions and their chantings. They are fine examples of their kind. The fact that they are accorded the same rights and privileges as human beings shows serious flaws in the Constitution.

I can't believe that all of them will be found, or that ANY of them will be appropriately prosecuted and punished for their crimes. The 'progressive society' wouldn't allow it.
