Teens set kid on fire for being 'white boy'
MEENA HART DUERSON
Sunday, March 04, 2012
A 13-year-old boy who police say was doused with gasoline and lit on fire last week while walking home from school is recovering from first-degree burns to his face and head.
The boy was just two blocks from his home in Kansas City Tuesday when two teenagers began to follow him and then attacked him, his mother, Melissa Coon, said.
Police have described the suspects as black 16-year-olds, while the victim is white.

which means it needs to be repealed and replaced with civil rights law for everybody.
It has been on CD in one of the Trayvon threads. Also like the PP said, it has been on national news.
Sigh.....you people.....
Not only has it been discussed in the Trayvon thread, it's been the main subject of multiple threads here in the Politics sub-forum over the past 3 weeks:

Huh? You do know that despite being roughly 11% of the population, 20% of all bias-motivated sentence enhancements (hate crimes) are brought against black defendants?

It had some national attention, but only as far as printed news goes. The news networks, the activists, nor the general public seemed to be outraged over this one. The victim wasn't the right color or religion.
