Four members of a teenage gang have been charged under a state's lynching law after allegedly beating an 18-year-old student so badly he required facial reconstruction surgery.
South Carolina prosecutors have charged the boys with second-degree assault and battery by mob, a crime which until last year was known as lynching.
The eight members of the gang, the youngest of whom is just 13, allegedly set upon Carter Strange in a parking lot as he jogged back to his home in Columbia.
Notice the only place you even hear about it is in a UK newspaper? Where are the American media? Where are Jesse and Al demanding justice for the lynching victim? Where's Barry saying the gangbangers acted stupidly? Where's Eric Holder to prosecute these animals for a hate crime? Notice even in this article, there's no mention of race. Can you imagine the outcry if a gang of eight white youths beat beat a black boy to a bloody pulp? Jesse and Al would be leading riots in the streets. It would be all over the media and you can bet your ass they would be screaming HATE CRIME. Barry and Holder would be demanding justice for hate crimes.

I'm waiting for the first white person to make a stupid reply that somehow black people are going to come to the defense of the criminals who committed this act because they are black. I'm just waiting for someone to be that foolish.
Just because a black person commits a crime dosen't mean the entire black community is going to suppport or condone their behavior!!!

Yeah, I know..............I had a thread and one of them came in and said blacks still defend OJ, yes, that OJ, no not Orange Juice...
When I read that I laughed. I knew that white guy had no interactions with blacks at all and never will.
Too bad they didn't do this in California, they would be out the next day... apparently California is releasing prisoners because they don't have room... ///end sarcasm
No Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson? or any of those ''respected black leaders''? (What a joke!).
Why am i not surprised .
