Hate crime suspected in attacks in Ballard: 4 men crashed party, beat up 'white guys'

Seattle police are trying to track down four Hispanic men for possible hate-crime charges after they crashed a house party in Ballard early yesterday and trounced several white guests because they felt like "beating up some white guys," police said.

A 17-year-old Crown Hill boy suffered head and body injuries and remained in serious condition at Harborview Medical Center yesterday.

Partygoers at the house in the 1500 block of Northwest 60th Street told police that the four, in their 20s, showed up uninvited about 12:30 a.m. All were dressed alike in blue FUBU-brand jackets and black pants.

A teenage girl was holding the party in her home because her mother was out of town, police said. No one knew the four men.

One of the men asked a partygoer, a 21-year-old black man, "Do you feel like beating some white guys?" according to a police report.

The black man said no and stepped out back to smoke. When he came back inside, he told police, he saw the men jump the white Crown Hill teen, knock him to the floor and punch and kick him repeatedly.

Another partygoer tried to help the teen, but the attackers punched him in the face several times, police said. Several other guests also were punched, police said.

The attackers left the Crown Hill teen lying on the front steps and ran to a red or maroon Toyota Corolla, witnesses said. Then two came back and kicked the teen in the head a few more times. Then they all sped off in the car.

Police say the girl who hosted the party could be charged with alcohol possession. After sending everyone home, officers collected about 50 beer and liquor bottles from the house.

I just read this in my latest issue of American Renaissance last week. Is that where it was called to your attention?

Maybe the punk attackers will experience the "glock" ventilation process next time out. Then I guess the whites will trigger the hate crimes law.

Did a quick Google search but couldn't find anything. Happened at a movie theater in Sundance Square, downtown Fort Worth, on a January 1st(I am not certain on the year, but I believe it was 1/1/94).

Ballard is a ghetto in Seattle. A ghetto full of old Norwegians. I once worked there in college, a customer once came to me and said, you can't help me, I only want to talk to a Norwegian. Crazy stuff.

It was posted here before, I remember the story.

I couldn't find it in a search, maybe the thread was deleted by the moderators.

Sounds like much of Wisconsin and Minnesota. You would think that the Norwegian Mafia would keep the riff raff out!

I originally read about the incident here at FR last year. I came across the update here.

I am not familiar with American Renaissance. What kind of publication is it?

Fat chance for a hate crime charge.

The murder of a white man last year by a black man at the "Fat Tuesday" celebration was on video and witnessed by Seattle police. Just you regular charge of manslaughter.

"Nothing to see here, move on!"

I was about to say how relleved I was that the perpetrators were not black in this particular instance, that is until I read your reply. I am sorry to hear about your friend, it is very sad, that we have people that act in such a manner.

As much as human mankind has grown, become more knowlegable,make spaceship, go to the moon. Make robots, computers and all types of tecnological items. We now know how to clone animals, and have an interest in cloning humans. We even want to go as far as retrieving the body of Mother Mary and the body of Jesus Christ to compare DNA.

But somehow since the beginning of time, we do not possess and some of us just refuse to be compatible. I hear your stories today of how the white man is being treated unfairly. I really don't mean this derogatory, but you really have it better than some. What about the ones that were hung, or tarred and feathered. What about the people other than blacks and whites that injustice has been done to.

However, two ,three, million wrongs don't make a right, and never will.

GO FIGHTIN WHITES EVERY THANG'S GONNA BE AL WHITE!!!
