It may be partly about race hatred, but I suspect these kids just really enjoy beating on people. It's fun for them, safe to do in large groups, and they know the Temple students won't organize and retaliate.

If the standard for topics on this board is stuff we can do something about, there wouldn't be a whole lot of topics.

Not true.

You can always kneel during the National Anthem.

That will change the world!

Gee I wonder why.

The mainstream press has refused to mention race on at least 3 confirmed attacks on the campus in the last 3 years.

Yet they have no trouble reporting the young nature of the perps (8-14).

So, please check your hypocrisy at the door.
I have never seen poor white people act like hood rats and wreck their neighbourhood.

Millenials choose to live in places their grandparents fled. Then they find out why they fled. Too bad, so sad.

Well, my ancestors sure did. They were whiter than snow. They tell all sorts of stories. One of my relatives tried to lynch another. His other relatives found him hanging in the barn by his neck. He survived. One of my relatives whipped another so that his pants split open and he "didn't even move, but just started screaming." That relative with the split-pants later threw a pitchfork at the relative who split his pants. It missed, but it stuck in the wall. One of my relatives was a huge guy who would pull a farming plow himself. He'd beat the heck out of anyone he didn't like. My uncle tells a story of how his uncle was in a car, with his foot holding a shotgun down and saying "you're not shooting (person X) in town. I heard another story about how some old relative had a husband who would get drunk too much, so she smacked his legs with a broomstick while he was sleeping so he couldn't walk the next day.

I think the only thing that kept any of those people alive was...I'm not really sure, actually. Luck?
