The Hate Crime Halloween Beatings in Long Beach CA have received little publicity but could be one of the worst race-related beatings in the past ten years. The defendants were found to be guilty of the crime however because of the circumstances (black on white), the event garnered little publicity. Complicating matters, the prosecution is trying to classify the act as a "hate crime." This further inflames the situation and begs the question of the consideration of criminal acts as being hate motivated or not. Justice should be blind however race-related criminal acts have been given special status under this approach. Thoughts? talkwiseblog

I agree, it’s just to close to the George Orwell book animal farm when it’s more of a crime to harm a teacher, federal employee or citizens with protective rights above other citizens. I mean lets face it, if your arguing, exchanging insults and fighting you may pick out a distinguishing characteristic about the person regardless of your real feelings.
The controversy in this thread about these particular beatings are political as the entire black community is behind the attackers. There beef relates to the percentage of convictions on minorities’ compared to white convictions. Less then 1% of white on black hate crimes result in convictions compared to near 100% on blacks harming whites. Liberal blacks were taught in a way to believe different percentages would result in this legislation of democrats to the rescue…. |
