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.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are on vacation looking for the missing plane.

There will be no witnesses to his beating. Every person in that large group will claim "I seen nutten".

What time is Obama's press conference?

I'm sure Richard Sherman will want to weigh in on how terrible this was, too.

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.

Hate crimes are the law of the land. There is nothing dumb about citizens expecting laws to be applied equally across the board.

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

I don't see where this is a hate crime. Guy just got assaulted. I don't see anything racist about it.

If 30 white people beat a black driver after a traffic accident it would be INTERGALACTIC NEWS for weeks, if not months.

There would be protests, boycotts, massive media invasion of the area and laws would be passed, reinforced and strengthened to make damned sure all white people paid for the incident.

However, after something like this:

Only if you believe this exact scenario would have played out without the slightest divergence had this tradgedy occurred as a result of someone from within the neighborhood behind the wheel.

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.
