I also don't believe in calling stuff like this a hate crime, because any sort of assault is a crime, and should be punished as such! Stop listening to the damn lamestream media so much and figure it out for yourself! Everyone knows the media does nothing but sensationalize things in this day and age! It doesn't matter if it's Fox News, CNN, or MSNBC!
What is wrong with hate crime laws? Please have an intelligent answer that isn't simple minded.

Everything doesn't make the news people. Some people actually know how to handle their own business without calling the press. Did you guys go crying to the press when you got your asses kicked?
Oh yes, you're absolutely right there. Everything doesn't make the news. But you also have to recognize the entirely unequal coverage given to black on white crimes in comparison to white on black crimes. Had this been 3 white males beating on 1 black male, it's quite possible it would have been news. Possibly even national news. The only time we hear stories about black people doing anything heinous these days is when the crime is just to big to ignore. The media is totally and completely one sided and has been for quite some time. Anything that you can put on the news to make white people look racist will make the news. Yes, there are racist white people out there. But guess what, contrary to popular belief, black people can be and are racist too. I for one have grown tired of hearing the statement "black people can't be racist" How ignorant do you have to be to make such a statement? Anyone and everyone, no matter your color, has the potential to be a racist. To say otherwise is simply ridiculous and wrong and just another way to try and make the "racist" white man seem like some sort of abnormality that exists no where else. I have personally experienced racism directed toward me by black people. We are not talking about big foot here folks. Racist black people do exist.

These kinds of stories/narratives appeal to conservatives because most conservatives are racist, prejudiced, bigoted.
Lol, and your statement isn't prejudiced and bigoted? Making such broad assumptions about a group of people based on nothing more than their political affiliation?

Some of you don't seem to get it. This was not a race issue. These kids decided to beat someone up end of story. Kids of all kinds beat impeach other every day. Apparently some of you just assume everything is a race issue when there are differing races involved.

Again these kids did not beat him up because he was white. They beat him up because he told in them and they were mad. See the difference?


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.

Absolutely correct. I'm sure the teens who did the kicking and stomping are equal opportunity bad asses. If the snitch had been black, they would have beat the crap out of him just as quickly.

Default Civil rights activists silent on Florida school bus beating video

Three black boys savagely beat white boy on school bus. Then again they say they are silent because the beating didn't happen because of racism obviously making it ok because the three black kids tried to sell him drugs and he told on them and the 3 boys beat the crap out of him.

School bus fight
