Thank you.
It would only have been mentioned had the victim been black and the assailants white. You know that as well as I do. IN the article though, are surveillance camera shots of two of the suspected assailants. Their race is obvious.

Man bites dog is newsworthy. Dog bites man is normal.

If a gang of white teens ambushed and assaulted a middle aged black woman, it would make headlines.

Maybe even riots.

Me too.

Yes - if they want their readers/viewers/listeners to help catch the perps.

In this instance, mentioning to the public that these girls are black would reduce the amount of false tips being phoned in to police, because the public would know that the police are not looking for white, Hispanic, Asian, or Native American girls in this matter.

Apparently, being a "rough county" has its upside. Who knew?

An image of the suspects in the alleged beating of Cindy Santamaria-Williams of Stroudsburg, Pa., who suffered a broken eye socket and bruises during an attack that took place in a local movie theater after she 'shushed' teen girls who she says were talking loudly and cursing during the film.

People would not believe the number of generations that have become dependent on social welfare programs in the last 50 years.
Inner city hospitals have forms to be filled out by pregnant women who are going to deliver there. They already have their "aid cards", were born there, as were their mom, and they are now going to have their kids there, all on the taxpayers dime.

Why is race important or relevant in this?

I'm against real racism as much as anyone but the FACT of the matter is certain crimes are more apt to be committed by black people. If that's racist sounding to you, oh well. Facts are facts.

Can't tell you the last time I went to a theater. Mostly because you pay good money and have to contend with cell phones ringing - people talking ect but many of the movie houses in our area have had problems with teens and fighting. Now I fear even going to the mall. It's a shame because the Galleria has many new and different stores - but this has been a monthly occurrence for the past few months even with more security and new rules. I personally don't care if you're white, black or purple - what I do care about is that young people have no respect for their elders let alone for their peers.
