Ugly crime called hate (Racial attack on white students in New York)

New York Daily News ^ | 5/22/05 | Dennis Hamill

It was as plain as black and white. It was a hate crime. When 30 black teenagers from Marine Park Middle School, most of them girls, chased five white girls from St. Edmund's off a Marine Park basketball court and across a Brooklyn street - punching, kicking, slapping, pulling hair and screaming, "honky bitches," "black power" and "white crackers" - it was a racial attack.

It was about hate.

Police officers who responded to the scene on March 30, at approximately 4 p.m., arrested five blacks. They were charged with simple assault.

Two of the white girls were treated at Coney Island Hospital. One had a broken nose and was given a CAT scan because she had been repeatedly kicked in the head. Another suffered a torn muscle and had clumps of hair ripped out of her scalp.

Hate crimes are a tool of the News Media to promote their agenda. So it is only a hate crime if the news say it is.

[Tacis]

Well, I don't know! After all, they were simply responding naturally to 400 hundreds years of opression and the still lingering pain of being torn from Mother Africa by ever evil white folks.

I believe the white girls are at fault because they should have sensed the pain of the descendents of slaves and been able to avoid the playful incident.

Everyone knows that only rich white republicans can be racist or commit hate crimes. When anyone else does it, it's called righteousness. / sarcasm.

"And now noted attorney Stephen Murphy and associate Daniel Russo have been retained by the families of the victims to initiate a civil suit against the city and the Department of Education."

This is as it should be.

Man, I wish I'd read your post before posting mine. I agree completely with you.

I say the white girls must enrol in mandatory sensitivity training. They should have KNOWN.

But really, what did Bush know--and when did HE know it?

[oh8eleven]

Five cops and a sergeant were permanently assigned to patrol the park.
My solution ...

[yooling]

Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

The determination of a white "hate crime" is made on the spot and without investigations. It took 3 weeks to determine this WAS a "hate crime" because they spent all that time trying to prove it WASN'T a "hate crime".

[csvset]

If it had been reversed, (30 whites on 5 black), it would have been headline news across the nation.

[Hacksaw]

This is as it should be.

One of the few times litigation is appropriate.

[jocon307]

I don't understand how they see the Dept. of Education as culpable here. Just because the miscreants attended a public school? Once school is dismissed for the day I don't see how it is responsible for its students behaviour off campus, if they were not playing hookey or something.

I don't get that angle at all.

[Comus]

There ain't enough ink.

[Enterprise]

On the surface, the school might not be culpable. As in any story, a lot of information is not readily available.

[solitas]

Sounds like a 'drive-thru' situation:

When you see such an attack taking place, drive through the middle of the crowd of attackers.

Protected classes are infected with racism. It is the reason the Left's approach to diversity fails. It is a hypocrisy of lies.

[digger48]

I guess this proves that the prisons really are full of innocent blacks. They only want to get along with us racist whites, but we keep puttin' them down. Guess I'll go hide in shame.

[ditto h]

If it had been reversed.....

You would have seen That clown act Jackson and Sharpton down there as quickly as you can say Tawana Brawly.

An ironic chuckle and ping from a guy who has a teenage daughter in public schools.

Wait till flaw and boredom "rips" this one from the headlines. They will remove the sarcasm tag...

[puppypusher]

You have to understand Black can't be Racist bigots. Only whites. Especially when the whites are only minding their own business.

The Police and prosecutors refuse to arrest blacks when they commit these racially induced crimes. They just refuse to do it.

[chudogg]

A mob of whites assualting a small group of blacks would knock Abu Gharib off the NY Times during its peak!

[commonasdirt]

"I believe the white girls are at fault because they should have sensed the pain of the descendents of slaves and been able to avoid the playful incident."

Yes. They have now felt the pain of the oppressed. As a reward we should excuse them from having to pay their portion of upcoming reparations monies

[commonasdirt]

By the way. I have NOT seen this subject on DU yet....and am sure i never will. LOL

Wait, are you sure? That doesn't seem like the DU, usually they're so well-balanced and intellectually honest. I think you better check again! ;-P

And I don't agree with your comment about reparations. I feel these girls should be made to pay TWICE since they should have known better...

[commonasdirt]

LOL repogirl LOL

bttt

[Clemenza]

Ping!

from pennysaver to the news...

Canarsie?

Ugh.

(Pronounced eye roll.)

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)

[Nea Wood]

Clearly the blacks were merely venting their justified rage. As for the whites, they are guilty of "existing while white." Whiteness, in and of itself, is offensive and therefore provocative. (sarc)
