It will certainly be interesting to see what will happen when the first flash mob encounters someone willing to defend themselves or their property.

Everyone keeps saying this but it has yet to happen. I say we start laying down some bait. The cops do it all the time for victimless crime.

And SEAL Team 6 waiting in the bushes to jump in when they start attacking the bait.

So you are saying a high unemployment rate justifies this, or is a justifiable reaction?

Also, can you provide stats showing white or asian youth that are unemployed doing these same activities? For your theory to be correct, that would be present.

Please provide. Thanks.

Well is there a pattern ? Like location..only cities where there are strict gun laws so they know people would NOT have weapons on them which includes store owners ?

This. They know they can get away with it. Holder and the DOJ and PD's all over the country have revealed it.

Is it likely that it was race motivated? Perhaps. Certainly enough of that in the world that it's always likely. It's just that that specific comment said afterword doesn't directly imply motivation. It could simply be a value-neutral observation, or even a comment said in jest.

Whether the hate crime statutes see it that way, I don't know. I don't know why any statute would ever be written in such a way that it would take a comment said afterword as proof of intent. That would be a horribly written law if it were ever structured that way. Comments said after the act should simply be taken in totality with other evidence which would prove the act was racially motivated.
What a desperate argument. The comment shows how the person was viewing and treating the victim. Also, right afterward is still in the act, because of the threat of continued violence. Oddly, your theory of race hate crimes doesn't seem to be applied equally when its a white perp.

Oversight, I'm sure.

As a matter of fact, what are the rest of you doing to help alleviate the problems that you so keenly point out as being such a serious issue? You know what they say, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Or would you rather just wait until the problem reaches your neighborhood so that you can cry..what's the word? Victim?
Actually, dialogue goes a long way to help society's ills. These conversations help spread the truth. Or...do you just not like it when it goes against your (unconscious maybe?) bias.

Or maybe we should not have dialogue you don't like? A good old fashioned book burning to appease the Left?
