It seems that's what you're doing about black crime -- extrapolating. Ciudad Juarez is a much much more dangerous city than any black city in the USA, but so is Chihuahua, Tijuana, Culiacan, Monterrey.

It's not just the number of homicides but the gruesome kinds of crimes, the decapitations, the leaving of body parts, burning people while alive that has become very common in many parts of Mexico -- nothing like hanging corpses, decapitated heads left on park benches is going on in any black city.

This kind of crime in the OP is common place in Mexico -- only there the victim would have been bound and gagged and his head sawed off while he was alive. Or he would have been set on fire while alive. Or dumped into a mass burial pit with 70 others. Murder in Mexico is much more spectacular than anything blacks here have come up with.

At any rate, while I know something happened, the police never captured the 4 men, no more reports of any more rapes of any Mexican men, I'm beginning to wonder what all is really happened.

Something doesn't quite pass the smell test as local news isn't making any big deal out of it -- you would think a crime like this would be a bigger deal in a city that prides itself on it's safeness.

And the neighbors of the man apparently aren't overly concerned about the incident:

70-year-old Man Raped Nearly to Death | KTSM News Channel 9

Socorro - After a 70 year-old man was taken, beaten and sexually assaulted during his morning walk yesterday morning some neighbors say, they're not concerned.
NewsChannel 9 went to the park where the attack happened, find out why neighbors think the area is still safe tonight.



What's up with that? Supposedly 4 men rape a guy because of his race and his mostly hispanic neighbors aren't too concerned?

This incident actually doesn't pass the smell test to me. I believe that the man was probably assaulted by those related to the violent drug cartels. And this man would not dare to identify those guys as his attackers. That is also why I feel the neighbor's are not expressing concern. And considering the demographics of the town (and that of near by El Paso) I seriously doubt that one of the 0.3% of the Black residents would risk being targeted by the 97.1% of the Hispanic residents as the result of such a crime.

Hispanic - 30,331 (97.1%)
White alone - 498 (1.6%)
American alone - 253 (0.8%)
Black alone - 86 (0.3%)
Other race alone - 38 (0.1%)
Two or more races - 23 (0.07%)
Asian alone - 11 (0.04%)

This case smells worse that the Duke lacrosse rape allegations.

Rape should be a death penalty offense as it used to be once long ago.

Again, I agree that some Mexican towns are extremely violent. I am referencing FBI crime statistics for the U.S.. If I wanted to extrapolate something to black criminality I would choose Liberia - but that
argument would not hold much water in my opinion.
