Federal authorities charge white ‘knockout’ suspect with hate crime
The Washington Times ^ | 12/26/2013 | By Stephen Dinan

Federal authorities said Thursday they have arrested and charged a Texas man in connection with the “knockout game,” accusing him of a hate crime for targeting a black man for a vicious street attack.

Most knockout victims that have appeared in news reports have been white, but the Justice Department said in this instance the victim was a 79-year-old black man, and stepped in with federal charges.

When we do it, it's an urban legend ... when you do it, it's a hate
crime ... and there's nothing that you can do it as long as this
racist clown is responsible for enforcing our laws!

Che white guy needs to be prosecuted, but maybe get a sentence overturned, for reverse racism. Selective prosecution!

Let’s form the “Conservative Caucasian Caucus” to agitate for OUR rights!

If I'm ever on a jury that's considering any kind of “hate crime” charge I'll vote “not guilty” on that charge..regardless of how despicable was the crime that brought rise to that charge.Nobody has the right to physically harm another except in cases of self defense.That includes white people assaulting blacks,normal people assaulting perverts...and so on.So if the evidence justifies it I'll vote guilty on any assault,attempted murder,etc charges but not guilty on the hate crime charge.

These charges make sense. It’s exactly the same charge that is filed against black thugs who target white victims in the same game. Isn’t it?

Yes it is in at least one case; a Muslim in NYC was charged for an attack on an Orthodox Jew back in Nov.:

Is it applied proportionally by race and or creed; probably not.

Don’t expect Equal Justice Under the Law in America, not now, not ever.

We have seen such inequality throughout our history and I would not expect it to end any time soon.

Totally agree. Very well put, MrB.

The pattern is obvious. Individually, the crimes are heinous no matter who commits them. But clearly most are black-on-white and various governments, law enforcement agencies and the press are covering that up.

Blacks do it, ok. Or more like “it’s not an outbreak” But when one white man does it, the full weight of the Imperial Federal Gov’t falls on him.

Oh he’s wrong to do it! But everyone who does it does wrong!

Aside from the the video of Barrett committing the attack and commenting that he wanted to see if he committing such an attack would get national attention, there does not seem to be too much evidence to make it a hate crime.

Get used to it. Soon, they will allow black animals to hunt us down like dogs with the encouragement of the liberals.

I say, "Bring it".

This guy didn't do too badly. And he had no gun.

Sometimes it really does seem as if Obammy and Holder are trying to push whites into a violent confrontation in order to use more government power over us.

I guess he doesn’t look like one of Obama’s sons, so they can charge him with a hate crime.

The DO”J” continues its hunt against whites
by its flash MOBs and by its cherry-picked Lawfare.

THIS will be the News (along with imagined weather)
for the MSM for a week.

It’s worthy of note that it was the city who charged him with a “hate crime”, not the feds (as is the case of the Texas suspect).
