I'm sure there are about to be white race riots.

quote:

A motorist is in critical condition after being beaten by a large group of people on the city’s east side after his truck struck an 10-year-old boy today, Detroit police said.

“He got his,” said one witness to the beating who declined to give her name. “He got beat up real bad.”

Sgt. Michael Woody said officers believe the driver pulled over to check on the child after he was hit around 4:10 p.m. He was then assaulted by people in the neighborhood near Morang and Balfour streets.

“Our chief indicated there was a large group of approximately 30 or more people,” Woody said. “But that’s not to say they all took part in the assault, but they did come out to assist the child, and it was a large group at that time. They could have been from that large group.”



quote:

Woody said the driver sustained multiple, serious head injuries and was also transported to St. John.

“He could potentially die,” Woody said.


quote:

Thursday night, his family was keeping vigil at St. John Hospital and Medical Center, where he was unconscious and clinging to life after being beaten by a group of men on Detroit’s east side Wednesday. The attack happened after his pickup truck hit 10-year-old David Harris, who stepped off a curb into its path.

His daughter, Felicia Utash, said that after he was beaten, he was robbed of his money, his wallet and his credit cards.

As if this is the only time black on white crime has taken place in the past few days.

The question is, did someone should "get whitey" (they it is a hate crime).

Or did someone shout "Get the f*cking killer driver of that car".

Or was nothing said.

Only in the first instance is it a hate crime and I saw nothing in the article indicating racial motive.

If other articles appear with different information I will certainly be open to changing my mind.

I really don't care what anyone says, but the black urban culture is one of a pack mentality. Once violence starts, the whole group joins in. See story of honor student beaten to death in Chicago for absolutely no reason.

It was all about the child's safety and well being as the cause of the beat down laid on this person.

Obvious, isn't it.

Sounds like he shouldn't have stopped to check on the kid.

I'm pretty sure that the aggressive act of being white was a provocation. He should have known better than to be white.

Hate is an emotion.

Criminalizing one's emotional state is abhorrent.

I think you know the answer to that question. Has there EVER been anyone other that a white guy charged with a hate crime?

Has anyone else here seen the video of this incident?

The kid is standing on the edge of curb waiting...looking down the right (nearest) lane while nothing is coming. Then when a vehicle finally comes along, the kid seemingly decides to run directly into the side of it. The man didn't hit the kid with his car. The kid hit the car.

Here's the problem:
Any time a group sets upon a total stranger for no reason, and basically beats him to death, it is a hate crime.

That is the problem with the idiotic terminology, and with the idiotic law.
This would have been a "hate" crime if the perps were white.
It would have been a hate crime if the victim was black.

Hate has no color.
