Not sure that there is anything that can be done to make this into a hate crime.
Feds could do that. The DA could do that. Appears that it possibly was a hate crime. Then again, is any crime involving 20 men ganging up on one man, and beating him to the point of brain damage, not committed out of hate?

Hate Crime . . . What a pathetic term and pathetic concept!

Agreed!

Not with out taking a small town and making it a battle zone. It's just a bad situation in our nation and crap like this is being promoted by leaders. When the president makes divisive comments like with Trayvon, when the AG says things are going to change.. it's not about bringing a nation together.

Hate crimes bill... another divisive law.

no no no.. the group of 20 clearly felt threatened thus justifying their actions.

Bet the reporting of this story, and the treatment of by the local PD regarding hate crime, would be different if old boy had whipped out his .45 and blasted a few "misunderstood, good boys."

BTW, I think "hate crimes" are utter bullshite.

After watching videos on you tube of blacks targeting whites and attacking them recently, I think it's safe to say that we are going to see a lot more blood shed the rest of Obamas presidency.

I agree that it does sound fishy, but you guys are all up on being victimized white people right now that you don't want to wait and let facts come out about the story.

Wait, what? White people want to be victims and overreact before the facts come out?

Is this bizarro world?

Perhaps so. But I think the crux of complaints related simply to the fact your OP claims outstripped information in your OP link. As I said then, it seemed you had a source you were reticent to cite. Was that not the case?
That was my issue. There was nothing in his original links showing that was the case and I called him out accordingly.

More information has since been released showing that it was in fact motivated by the Ferguson situation. I'll admit that the OP's assertion came true, but that does not justify jumping to conclusions initially.

I'm reserving judgment on this event. "Facts" will change at some point

I did not jump to conclusion. You simply doubted my information.

You did a bit more than that, but it's ok.


As this story develops, It will be interesting to see how the people of this town handle vs ferguson.

As of now, one arrest has been made. Police Chief states that a hate crime is just enhancement penalty.


quote:

“It’s up to the Grand Jury to make this determination. All we do is process the evidence and turn the case over to the District Attorney who in turn presents it to the Grand Jury. It’s within their discretion to add the hate crime enhancement.” Brinkley said.


quote:

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) has been briefed on the particulars of this case as well as the District Attorney’s Office.



quote:

“Our investigation has revealed that most, if not all, of the assailants are from adjourning Monroe County,” Police Chief Tim Brinkley said. “A list of suspects has been developed and detectives have arrested one man in connection with this crime.”

That is because you didn't post any information to back up your claims.

That no longer matters though.

Yep. And it's making more and more national news.

I was direct to Herman Cain on facebook.


LINK


Thousands of shares. And thousands of comments.


As I do not have a "link" for this, I expect the slack...

The other guy involved has removed himself from social media. It's a matter of threats is my understanding.
