re: Update - One Arrest made. Young lady attacked in Longview, TX by Karmelo supporters...

If this is not a hate crime, then hate crime charges should not exist for anyone.

If hate crimes are charged in just one direction, then the obvious motive is to prevent people from defending themselves from certain groups.

Clearly her injuries are just as fake.

Appears to be too much blood for just a gash over the eye.

It’s going to keep happening until somebody does something about it

Absolutely.

For example, if an FBI agent is traveling and meets friends for drinks later, he must lock his firearm in his hotel room safe.

The public should do the same. Carrying and drinking is a recipe for disaster.

I’ll go on record and say something about this seems fake to me

That she was beaten up does NOT appear to be fake.

That she was sitting in a bar 150 miles away from where the Anthony events/trial took place, minding her own business with no conflict whatsoever, only to be randomly attacked by a group of black women she didn't know and had no prior interaction with, who were shouting out cliche terms of "free Karmelo", and oddly telling her the specific basis of why she was being randomly attacked seems a bit suspect.

Is it possible the events occurred exactly as reported? Sure. Anything is possible. But if the roles were reversed, 95% of the board would be calling this "fake". I suspect there is more to this story than is being reported. Most likely some sort of prior conflict/interaction between the parties before whatever happened outside took place.

There were additional pics in the X post. She also had a gash on the back of her head that required staples. Anyone that's ever had a head cut knows they bleed bright red blood like crazy.

At this point, I don't know how much truth there is to the story or not. I've not seen any new updates, other than the girl naming her attackers, or anything from local police. That doesn't mean it didn't happen the way it was reported. It could be currently under investigation and the police holding info until that is complete. For people to just outright say the story is BS or that the injuries/ blood is fake is just retarded.

However it plays out, the original intent of the post still stands. There are nut jobs out there that support a convicted killer and think it's okay to attack those that disagree with them. That's a fact!

If it plays out that this woman was not randomly attacked by people on the basis of retribution for the Anthony verdict, then wouldn't that totally negate the position of the original post that this proves there are people who think it is ok to attack

Let me clarify. The OP was intended to make people aware that this type of violence occurs and that this 'could' be an example of it in the area where I live. Regardless of whether this story ends up having gone down as described, my intent still stands which was (just as I stated in my OP) to ask people to be careful and be prepared out there. Nowhere, in my post, did I say "this proves" anything. There's no need for that because there is proof everywhere that this type of vendetta violence takes place.
