D.C. police have released video of a group of teenagers that punched, kicked, and spat upon a man who was walking into the Washington Hilton hotel on Connecticut Avenue.
According to police, at approximately 1 a.m. on Sunday, July 14, as a man walked toward the revolving door of the hotel, located in the 1900 block of Connecticut Ave. NW, he was confronted by a male police believe is a teenager.
After the youngster punched the man in the face, a group of about 10 boys and girls ran up, and began repeatedly punching and kicking the man.
After approximately 30 seconds, a person came out of the revolving door, and the attackers ran, with one girl returning to spit on the victim, who was lying on the ground, a few feet in front of the door.
As to whether this is a hate crime or not, I strongly suspect that the crime was motivated by hate, but even though that's a good colloquial understanding of a hate crime, it might not meet the statutory requirement. I would have no problem with any means that would allow additional time for this kind of crime, but I doubt that going the hate crime route would be effective.
Of course, such acts are not listed as hate crimes, as they do not follow the leftist narrative.
These attacks by "youths" are becoming quite common.
This is a case study, actually, of white privilege.....being demonstrated by you. Why? The reason being is that on one hand you see blacks as prone to violence, based upon statistics, yet, despite you seeing blacks as violent (I have read many of your post) you expect whites to be exempt. If a community has a high rate of crime.....and you enter the community and become a victim of a crime.....don't take it personal.

That's supposed to be a good area of Washington DC.
they were probably targeted because the marauding low lives thought they were gay.
You see one piece of excrement point to the guy looking for acknowledgment from somebody else in the group, and wack.
Newflash: when gangs of young hoodlums approach you in Washington DC, run away.
