On April 28, 2023, the Santa Monica Daily Press ran this headline on page one: "Metro Rider Violently Beaten by Eight Teenagers at Santa Monica Station." The article, written by Magnolia Lafleur, reported the incident (which occurred on April 19) as a case of simple assault. But buried on page eight was this: "the teens jumped on him screaming insults and racial slurs".
Now, when violent thugs shout "racial slurs" during an attack, is that not a hate crime? Yet LaFleur's long article -- 30 paragraphs -- never mentions "hate." Nor are we told the races of the "teenagers" or of their victim, Eric Lewis. The issue of race is never again broached.
Lewis's attackers were caught. "All suspects were identified as juveniles from Los Angeles but only two have been charged with assault at this time. Per County rules regarding juveniles accused of committing crimes, all suspects were issued citations and released to their parents."
Lewis' headLewis was treated at Saint John's Hospital for a laceration of the scalp requiring eight staples, a cracked rib, and lesser injuries. A photo of his injured scalp appears to be of a white man. Because his attackers hurled "racial slurs" at him, it's a safe assumption that these attackers were nonwhite.
It's also a safe assumption that, had the races been reversed, we would still be hearing about it. Yet in the past year, the story has fallen off the radar. Nothing on search engines. Memory holed.

Another interesting thing to note about FBI crime statistics is that there is no criminal category for "hispanic". They are classified as "white".
There is a hispanic category for victim, however. This means that "hispanic-on-hispanic" crime is classified as "white-on-hispanic".
Many, if not most of the white-on-black murders are actually hispanic-on-black.
Ah yes. - I didn’t remember the “courtesy” part…
I am imagine you would also have to be a certain age to know who Bernie Goetz was, too.
I lived in NYC at the time, and Goetz was a popular topic on WOR-AM's Bob Grant Show. It didn't occur to me that the entire country was paying attention.
Oh hell yes! He was national news and a hero to most of the country..
“You don’t look like you’re hurt too bad…” Bang!
Just a shame he turned himself into that corrupt New York justice system.
