So you're saying that if it were a black guy walking innocently who got assaulted by two non black citizens, BLM wouldn't be rushing to the news podiums?
I know that's a hypothetical but it's the basis of my post so that's my response to you.

Is this just the tired "Black people have no right to complain when police brutalize them because black on black crime exists" argument?

No, that just changes the motive. A broken jaw is a broken jaw, whatever the reason. I think they're just saying (as I would agree, and as Matt Stone and Trey Parker would agree) that you don't need "hate" crime laws for crimes that already exist. If a man kills another man because that other man was sleeping with his wife, did the first man not kill him because he hated the other man for sleeping with his wife? These kids were full of hate, of whatever kind or intent. They beat someone up, and they should be punished just as equally as though the victim here beat the kids up (except two victims, so two counts)--because justice is, you know, color blind...allegedly.
You make a valid argument and I agree with you for the most part. But we are where we are in society and unfortunately justice is not always color blind. The article states it's been a common occurrence which supports the "hate crime" narrative.
