In the 1980s I imagine.

No. Late 1990s-early 2000s actually.

Skater gangs beating people up in the 2000s? They were listening to green day and smoking weed in that era, not neo nazi rock and huffing paint. you must have ran into some fringe group of unicorn punks.

Some skater types did beat me up in the late 1990s. And these were not "Neo-Nazi" types. These were the neighborhood bullies. A few of them have done times for breaking into houses. You might not believe what I'm telling you, but I'm speaking on what I experienced. One of them vandalized my house.

I also caught it from "redneck" types.

A police officer was legally justified in shooting an unarmed man, a Salt Lake City district attorney said Tuesday, in a decision based on video from the officer's body camera.

And....that's the end of it right there. There's no DOJ investigation. There's no 24/7 nationwide media coverage. I wonder why......

I believe it, but having a hard time imagining it was systemic of the culture, as fighting (not as much fighting but rather group beatdowns) is in todays (worldstarhiphop) youth culture.

Oh...

No, it's a HS scuffle.

[MOD CUT/rude personal attack]
There's no such thing as the scenario you just mentioned there. It's only suspicious if the cop is white. Try running an internet search for black cops shooting people.

I don't know what was up with those skaters. Like the "urban types", they sagged their pants and did alot of dumb things. And one thing to consider. WSHH is about getting attention. Said persons don't mind the attention.

Another black on white hate crime. I guess when dog bites man, the DOJ does not care. When man bites dog- that is news.

Unfortunately, these animals will "bite" again.
Isn't this quite common now? I don't even blink when I read about black violence. Black violence -on themselves and other races- in the US (and other places when they make up a decent portion of the population) is an increasingly out of control problem.

A simple search of 'black mob violence, black violence in schools, black crime' reveals a shocking truth the media shamelessly covers up.

Covers up? You just quoted a post with a link to the story...
