Outrage over the lack of hate crime charges was swift, as were questions about whether the right people were arrested and whether the victims did something to trigger the attack.

Hmmmm...wasn't there a cleric in Australia who said that women who go uncovered are just pieces of meat and are asking to be raped? Not exactly the same situation, but pretty darn close.

Frankly, I don't think there is an epithet or attitude that deserves a violent attack, though the police officer in charge last night did admit that this attack was unprovoked, as far as they believe.
