Did anyone notice between :50 - :52 a boy casually knocked a bag off the shelf and one of the girls walking behind him stopped to pick it up and put it back where it belonged. Some good kids are hanging out with the wrong element. Are these robberies practice for something more?
A good kid wouldn't be out at 2AM robbing a store. And "bad" people have at times have been considerate, picking up a bag and putting it back on the shelf is nothing. And maybe she was picking it up to see what it was incase she wanted it ? She was there robbing the store to so that is more likely than her just being "nice".
I agree that it is horrible regardless of the race of the offenders. It is just the same whether they are black, brown, yellow, or white. I also agree that any race is capable of these types of acts. At the same time, though, I think it is irresponsible reporting to exclude mentioning race when it is more than obvious that the acts are racially motivated.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but most other types of news stories begin with the words "Two white males", or "A black male", or "Three men of hispanic origin", ect...
Not really. Not unless they are giving a description of a suspect at large. And if they have the suspect they just show pictures.
I don't see why people are trying to create some conspiracy to suppress where there is none. It does no help to identify these people to tell readers on the internet what race they are. The police have video, let them take it from here and hopefully they'll find those responsible.

So if a large band of White males started targeting Black people [and only Black people], and began beating them up and in some cases crushing their skulls in...You dont think Race would be mentioned ?? And you dont think it would it would be all over the news !? It would be non-stop 24/7 on the news.
And if you are wondering that happened recently at the Wisconsin State Fair, except it was Black males attacking White people. Yet there was barely a blip on the media about it and no mention of the racist attacks. There is a double standard and pretending there isn't one is giving a free pass [if you are black] to continue doing it.

There is double standards both ways, on both sides of the fence. Why? Because the media is no longer about telling the news, it is about selling what they think people want to hear.
Yeah,.. The tea party/republican way it would be reported would be fantastic. "A group of welfare recipients/gang members/"racial slur" walked in and robbed a 7/11. The towel head behind the counter pressed the emergency button,..etc"
Some of the craziest, most racially biased posts I read are just like this one, usually written by a LWNJ. Clicking your heels and imagining what a group "would" say does not make it true.

I'm glad you stuck the sarcastic emoticon in there. Sometimes it's hard to tell when liberals are joking around.

In the hypothetical and the case you mentioned, race is he motivator for the attacks. In the case of the flash mobs targeting stores, it isn't. Theft of property is and it just so happens that a majority of stores aren't owned by black people thus a majority of victims of these robberies aren't black.
If it is a crime motivated entirely by material gain what opportunity is there to point out the ethnicity of the offenders except to identify them? And in a crime where a large group is involved, that's not helpful at all. If a group of white kids flash robbed a store, I'd hardly expect that the news articles would identify them by race, especially if there is already video and photographic evidence of it.
If there was really a conspiracy to suppress the identity of the robbers, why even include the video? Apparently it isn't a very well thought out conspiracy. Come on, left wing media, I thought you were sharper than that!
Liberal media articles like to conveniently leave out details of race. Fortunately, videos don't.
What of any importance does it has if there is already a video where you can see for yourself and the crime doesn't appear to be a ''hate crime''? Have you read the youtube commentary under this video? The minute people see a black person or group of black people doing something deviant, here come the white nationalists and their cousins calling us out of our names.
Here is a video where the anchor did mention the race of the offenders

That is far too wordy..! How about short, simple, and true, such as..
"A group of democrats walked in and robbed a 7-11..!!"
I do not recall seeing this happening in the south. Have there been any incidents where concealed carry is the norm?
