It appears my post was a bit too challenging for some people to understand. Look at the way the MSM covers stories like this compared to as if this were whites doing it to a black person. When it's a white person doing this to a black person they shout racism and white supremacy. When the perpetrators are black, the liberal media makes excuses for them. Also, how many riots have you seen over this. Justice may not always be as swift when the victim is black, but you don't see any violent riots or people burning up a city when it's blacks doing this to whites. If the situation were reversed, these supposedly pro black groups like BLM would be out destroying everything they see. They'd be causing senseless violence and destruction.

No riots. No screaming "ALL whites....." No media sensation. Before pictures released, no mention of race.
Also agnostic soldier, please note that the case where the special needs black teen that was sexually assaulted, it was not all over the media like this case has been. Nor were there huge outcries of ALL WHITES are anal rapist of black special needs teens.
IMO, it is ironic that you and others in this thread and in social media - whites mostly, always want to claim the "if it were a black victim of whites" thing and act like there would be this huge uproar when there are cases where what you are trying to compare has indeed occurred and there has NOT been an uproar or riots or anything happen. Honestly, I feel that this case, though horrible, only got the attention it did because the perps streamed it on FB live. Any crime on FB live or some other video or live stream especially is going to garner a lot of attention, no matter the race of the victims or perpetuators.
ETA: This whole outcry of whites trying to blame ALL black people for this and act like ALL of us condone this vicious treatment of the victim, shows me how easily lynching was able to occur and why it stayed so long in our country. It is like you all want to go back to mob violence and is kind of sickening.

I have a theory on it. Perhaps it is because it was not live streamed or put on video. There really is no other explanation. There is nothing unique about it . If anything its extraordinary it did not end in homicide.
Kind a sad really. We have to actually see the act to care now?

It never ceases to amaze me to see someone whine about collective judgment of blacks while collectively referring to whites.
I personally think adding punishment based on an interpretation of a criminal perpetrators feelings is nonsense.
I believe some of the posts that are being ridiculed are simply attempting to highlight or acknowledge the disparity between the amount of crime committed across racial margins and the amount of those that are deemed crimes of "hate".

It appears the young man escaped. If he had not done so before the perpetrators sobered up, he might have been killed.
Not only is it sad that we have to have video to care, some seem to think if video does not exist, neither does the crime.
