This is in a lovely mixed neighborhood (Bixby Knolls) with most houses selling for between $1 and $2 million. Each house is custom, and they date from the early 1900s to this year.

Geographically, this neighborhood is several miles north of downtown Long Beach, and just south of North Long Beach and Compton, so it's surrounded by less affluent, more urban areas.

Everyone goes all out for Halloween here, and parents have assumed the kids were safe.

This crime is unthinkable. What kind of monsters are out there, lurking around the corner, seething with racial hatred? Something is very wrong indeed.

I live on the east side of Long Beach. Only fools venture into the dangerous parts of town here.

The war on white people is only beginning...

[LongElegantLegs]

I wonder how much air time this hate crime will get...

[Bon mots]

GO BACK TO EUROPE WHITEY!!!

...ooops. Too late.

[Northeastern_Realist]

Wow. This is such a bizarre story.

[BunnySlippers]

How long did it take for the police to arrive?

[Sister_T]

Words fail me.

THIS had better make HEADLINE news.

The liberal media would like you to believe it is always the "white" ones that do this. No. Look at the stats. There are MORE black on white crime than the reverse. Time to get the FACTS straight.

[Lurker]

Wow.

A couple of handguns might have come in handy dontcha think?

Of course you realize, that all of these animals will receive light sentences, if they're even convicted of anything at all. The hate crimes will probably not be pursued. On the other hand, if it were a white gang attacking blacks, they would be looking at 25 yrs for attempted murder with hate crime penalties applied.

Why these girls went to a black party is beyond me. They knew it was black before they walked in. All I can say is maybe now they'll think twice, and others will to, about our culturally diverse society. In packs, young blacks are no better than packs of dogs...

The day is coming when I take my daughters to the city to show them the difference from what they see on Nickelodeon and what is real life. All the white girls going goo-goo over the black boy on the set is NOT reality.

These three learned the hard way. I hope other white young ladies do not disregard the valuable lesson learned here...

Since they have 10 in custody....I'm betting the others are not far behind. These guys will roll on the others if they think it will help save their hide.

This CAN'T BE a hate crime. It wasn't Anglos doing the beating. It was just retribution by the downtrodden.

Very ugly. If we had a sane mainstream media, this would not be something only read about on FR.

[Ken522]

This sounds similar to the "wilding" that occured in NYC/Central Park almost 20 years ago - but that was all black-males-on-lone-female. This situation with groups of blacks assaulting young white females ... unimaginable.

[grimalkin]

I'm just shaking with anger reading this.

[BurbankKarl]

I was in Long Beach two weeks ago looking for gas....I vowed never to return.

[Dustbunny]

How can this be a hate crime, only whites commit hate crimes. /sarc

[IronJack]

Rodney King made headlines. I must have missed the reports of this hideous event.
