Why don't you subscribe to GBTV if you are interested in the diversity of his staff?

I guarantee you that we haven't heard the whole story yet. We will find out later that the victim said some nasty things to the kids as he walked by them. Probably called them the n word or told them to go back to Africa and they retaliated.

I'm ashamed for these kids' parents.
Hopefully they are caught and given the same treatment in a juvenile detention center that they gave the old man.

So that's how you respond when someone's an ******* to you? Christ, I should whip out the shotgun every time someone cuts me off on the highway following that logic

I'm not saying that what the kids did was right. They should still be arrested and charged with attempted murder. I'm just saying we have not heard the whole story.

Aww nuts; it's just as conceivable he said nothing at all to them as this guy is an old dude and any one of us of his age group knows full well you stifle your lip and don't even make eye contact with any group of ethinic young people at night-time.

Believe me when I say these little thugs were out 'hanging' talking trash talk about how tough life is and how they're ready to rumble and along comes a helpless old phart; et-voila! Beat down!

Little ****s need a posse of vets to visit their parents and talk some trash to them.

Absolutely let's share, let's use the most recent data...

http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr...2010-offenders

Quote:
In 2010, the races of the 6,008 known hate crime offenders were as follows:
  • 58.6 percent were white.
  • 18.4 percent were black.
  • 8.9 percent were groups made up of individuals of various races (multiple races, group).
  • 1.1 percent were Asian/Pacific Islander.
  • 1.0 percent were American Indian/Alaskan Native.
  • 12.0 percent were of unknown race.

Talk about diarrhea of the mouth...diarrhea of the truth and facts.

It might help if they would charge blacks with hate crimes when its obvious they attacked white folks because of race. They charge whites with hate crime whenever they attack or get into a fight with a non white person because the system is corrupt and racist.

I will say that as a black person it's difficult to participate in threads like these on C-D. While I agree that this is horrendous and something needs to be done, I can't continue to support your position if you begin to go on a racist tirade.
I am glad to hear you speak up. It is ridiculous to include any judgement based on race in these conversations. People who would pull a stunt like this are not a normal part of the human race - regardless of their ancestry.

No punishment is too harsh for them if you ask me.

If it helps, I don't give a damned what color your skin is - but I do like the content of your character.
