Beating of white teen becomes 'community issue' in Rifle
Rocky Mountain News ^ | 08 Mar 07 | Ellen Miller

The beating of a white 14-year- old Rifle High School girl, allegedly by several female Hispanic students, is the latest indication of rising ethnic tensions in this fast-changing community, school officials said Wednesday. The friction in this working- class town, which is becoming increasingly Hispanic, has drawn interest from the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, and Garfield County School District Re-2 has asked for help from the Colorado Mediation Coalition, Superintendent Gary Pack said.

Actually they are twice as likely to commit a hate crime but they are not twice as likely to be charged with a hate crime. I saw the same stats and that is what it said.

Diversity, ain't it just grand.

Sure is, isn't it? For prime examples of how poisonous it is, just tour New Orleans or Detroit.

I am a Southern Coloradoan and that's the way it was where I grew up. I don't think I ever used the restroom the entire time I was in middle school or high school. If I did, I never went alone. That sounds really funny.

Illegal aliens do the beating of white children jobs that Americans won't.

Doesn't matter what color the perps or victim are. Beating someone up is a crime, and they should do the time.

That happened daily at the JR High I went to.

There have been hispanics in western Colorado for decades. What is sparking the tension?

The original purpose of "hate crime" laws was to xxx-ream whitey just for existing. "hate crime" laws have fulfilled their purpose.

Had several female white students beaten a Hispanic girl severely, it would receive maximum national publicity from the MSM, not just a story in the Denver paper. There would be so many Feds on the ground investigating the case and media types covering the story that the motels within a 50 mile radius would be booked for months. After that, a Johnny Sutton or Patrick Fitzgerald-type Federal prosecutor would conduct a big show trial in Denver that would receive extensive print and TV coverage. The perpetrators would receive long sentences and sent to a Federal women's prison filled with minorities.

And of course, the same crowd of RINOs and pseudo-conservatives who support Giuliani, McCain, and Romney, applaud the Star Chamber trial of the two Border Patrol agents, and attack Ann Coulter for her insensitivity to the delicate feelings of perverts would defend their prosecution and claim that they got what they deserve if they were abused by their fellow inmates.

What a time we live in, when up is down, black is white, 2 + 2 = 5, and when you don't agree, you are a candidate for sensitivity training.

Since this is Colorado, shouldn't it be tried under Aztlan Law?

I saw that and was so outraged, I surfed to another program. That was right after his comments about gringos losing their country. (that and the cantina music, BARF) I cannot believe he still has a comedy show on ABC, or does he?.
That dude has major problems.

Not at all odd. My daughter (blond) went to school in Hawaii for a year. Although she made a lot of friends and generally had a good time she did not feel safe. The native school kids actually had a "kill a howlie (white person) day", where they would single out white kids & beat em up.

The new illegal immigrants in the area.

I remember seeing the story of the new hispanic immigrants not getting along with the long term hispanics (2nd and older generations) in Garden City, Kansas about two years ago. I read the story since my half sisters all live there.

The numbers of Mexicans went from 100's per county to 20,000 in some small rural counties ?

No one knows the real numbers of illegals from all over south and central america...

So this comes under the heading of "ethnic tensions". I love it. Were it the other way round, it would be a hate crime.

VERY WELL PUT!
