One of them is a retired investigator for the DA, I think

Then again the entire concept of a hate crime is stupid


I'm not a big fan of it either, but this looks to fit better than many other cases that have been labeled as such.

How does it look to fit in better than anything else? Just because it's a white person and a black person doesn't mean that it's a hate crime.

you would have to have some indication that he was targeted because he's black and you can't simply use the fact he's black and they're white as evidence of that

Why would this one killing get this kind of attention?

I guess I'm missing something in the video, because they don't seem to be holding him up at all. I don't see anyone pointing a gun at him until he's trying to take it from the guy.


You can't really see what is going on in front of the pickup until after the first shot is fired to say that, but from what I can see it doesn't look like he tried to take the gun until after it was fired

The shooter, a white man with no authority, assumed that some random black guy was a burglar and took it upon himself to run him down and try to detain him at gunpoint after calling to report "a black man running down the street."

Yep. There was definitely no racial prejudice involved here.

Video shows a white guy getting punched in the face by a black guy and the white guy shoots the black guy. Not sure how you can get hate crime from just watching that video.

Does anyone know the real story?


Yup, seems like a lot of omniscient prosecutors in this thread.

Hate crime huh?
Could we get em on a bigot crime too.
What about racist crime?
If they were drunk how about murder while drunk?
What if they were robbed by the same type of person could we charge them with a revenge crime?
And if they are just immoral as f@ck could we add that too?

Or can we just stick to the actual alleged crime committed and charge them for murder.

I don't like the fact that hate crime is a thing. Like it or not, it is a law. I'm just calling it like it is.

Exactly. Two separate issues that are apparently too complex for some people to untangle from each other.

I'm waiting for more information. The typical exploiters of Black fear are on the scene like Rev. Al and Democrat politicians. I'll wait.

That's not the definition of a hate crime.

Sheesh. This is why it's such a dumb assed concept.
