Obama picked the wrong typical white behavior to highlight. This country didn't need his stupidity.

No big deal. They just went out for a bit of ultraviolence.

"This is not Philadelphia," Mayor Nutter said during a visit to the crime scene yesterday.

Sorry, Mayor, but it is your Philadelphia.

And these youths are not also being charged with "hate crimes" because?

So the 10th grader had a clean record, I guess that means we should let him go with an “I’m Sorry”.

Teenagers don’t decide to go beat someone as a lark instead of going to church. This probably wasn’t the first time they had done this.

“And these youths are not also being charged with “hate crimes” because?”

Because hate crimes only apply to certain races from certain races. Just like discrimination.

"It's appalling," said Khalid Ali, 27, a SEPTA commuter. "I don't know what kind of monsters would brutally do that to a hardworking American."

A hint: The perps are black and the victim is white.

They weren't born with this hatred. They learned it somewhere.

These attacks are the result of pastors like the Rev. Wright preaching hate whitey/blame whitey from the pulpit all over the country.

Obama says he cannot "disavow" a man who has spewed racial hatred from the pulpit for decades.

Now Obama desperately wants to win Pennsylvania.

"The United States of White America!!" Obama gave overt and tacit approval to that demagogue, and every other hate filled black "leader."

Meanwhile, black gangs roam the streets of America's cities inflicting mayhem and murder.

There was a television show on last night about black gangs.

The gang "The Bloods" recruit young black women into their midst, and impregnate them. Everyone is taught to call the impending child a "Blood Drop."

The problems of illegitimacy and crime in the black community are almost never discussed or tackled by so-called "Black Leaders" like Wright or Sen. Obama.

Blaming "Whitey" is so, so much easier.

From the article:

"This is not Philadelphia," Mayor Nutter said during a visit to the crime scene yesterday ... The brazenness of the assault - a block from City Hall and the Convention Center - unsettled commuters

Nutter is well named. Obviously elected for the color of his skin rather than the content of his character, his comment is absolutely insane. It is obviously typical Philly, but more disturbing it is also typical of the burgeoning hip hop inner city black hate whitey culture. Chapel Hill and Eve Carson last month. The torture murders in New Jersey last year, and these are just the cases that get national attention.

WHAT IS THE ANSWER? To people like Nutter, Rendell, Fenty et al it is MORE STRINGENT VICTIM DISARMAMENT LAWS.

As these attacks increase the likelihood of young black sociopathic thugs getting killed with their entire lives of crime and violence ahead of them is so disturbing to these politicians that they have to bray stridently for stricter gun control.

After all who is gun control going to affect? The law abiding potential victims, and we can't have victims fighting back for any number of reasons. One, the politicians' beloved "youths" might get killed. Two if citizens can protect themselves from the predations of one set of criminals, then they might get the idea that they don't need so much government. Can't have that.

I'm guessing that these four will see an absolute maximum of no more than seven years each behind bars for this act.

Obama gave his speech in this very city 10 days ago, followed it up with a criticism of his grandmother’s implicit “inbred” racism, as a “typical white person,” for crossing the street when she’d see a group of black men. Although these boys were truant on this day, I would think there had been enough discussion that they would have been exposed to that it was at least in the back of their minds. I think there is a good likelihood that this assault was a result of that. It’s anomalous, as it occured in a low-crime, middle of the afternoon scene and no real devastating blows were struck. He died because of the fear produced by an assault, we’ll never know whether the racial angle played a role in his mind. It’s hard to discount the racial angle of choice of victim in their minds, although it looks like it was a “lark” and not intended to kill him.

Police yesterday discounted robbery as a motive, and said the youths apparently launched the attack on a lark.

And of course there is no chance that it will be called a "hate crime."

I can NOT believe they’re including a bunch of stupid links such as “Stress and Asthma: Bad Mix”.

“Asthma” didn’t kill him....those punks beating on him did.

If you live in a liberal-run gulag like I do, carry a freakin’ knife, people.
You can argue with a judge about later.
At least you have some chance of being *alive* to do so.

The cause was "asthma, contributed to by blunt force injuries sustained during the attack"

No matter how you parse that sentence, ultimately, they beat him to death.

“So the 10th grader had a clean record, I guess that means we should let him go with an “I’m Sorry”.”

It doesnt necessarily mean that he has a clean juvie record, only that for the purpose of prosecution they will treat him as an ADULT with a clean record. It’s also unusual that they released his name since he is only 16.

I’m concerned that this incident might give typical white people an excuse to be racists or to worry if they hear a group of minority yoots coming up behind them. You know how unreasonable and hateful whitey can be.

Obama’s “white supporters” are merely assuaging their ‘white liberal guilt’, in my opinion.

Somewhere, deep in their diseased little psyches, they harbor unimaginable hatreds and prejudices and to absolve themselves, they’re committed to voting in a “fashionably open-minded” way.

I’m sure most of them make a huge public display of telling everyone how “enlightened” and “color blind” they are.

To me, that’s even more disgusting than “honest”, overt racism.

If they were only more honest with themselves and everyone else, they would realize they are are not voting for the “black” candidate; they voting for “red” Marxist one.

And if you heard the clips of the right Rev Wrong on Rush's show, he had a line in in his rant about the American government put crack on the streets then pass a three-strikes law and wonder why the blacks are angry.

Wright was essentially saying that the drug problem in America's city are the fault of America, not the lost, self-indulgent, self-righteous, deranged little hate mongers who have taken over the cities.

It is disgusting, but not surprising, that Nutter would turn a blind eye to the root cause of the hundreds of mainly drug-related homicides in his city every year. The root cause is the culture of racism in the urban black community, a racism that blames the situation of American blacks on whites, on the system, on “da man,” and on anyone else but their own lack of independence and aspiration.

Throughout the entire campaign, I didn't see a total of ten seconds of local news time spent on the Republican running in the mayoral race. Philadelphians want change, continue to vote Democrat, then wonder why nothing changes. Nutter ain't a nutter, just a typical Democrat.

Not going to happen. My prediction is that the maximum any of them will get is 7 years in prison, and probably less than that.

Liver Lips Nutter unveiled his anemic crime fighting plan a month or two ago when he named Charles Ramsey to head up the Police Dept.

The former chief, Sylvester Johnson, was, despite the name, a Louie Farakkhan follower, although it was unclear if he was still NOI or became a “regular’ muslim- he was a terrible chief, who basically said there wasn’t much the police could do about crime(but still cashed his check).

Ramsey came up from DC, where he worked alongside the bigmouthed Montgomery County Chief Moose to make a total joke of the DC sniper case-now he’s going to work his magic in Philly.

Does it mention anywhere the race of the perps? Or did I miss this. I want to use this for an example elsewhere but know I'll be confronted with "Are you just assuming the boys were black?"

My assumption is they are black because it's not mentioned. Just like when a Dem politician gets caught the press never mentions the party affiliation like they do when it's a Republican...

So if a black guy had been standing in that place, at that time, they would have attacked him too, just because they lusted for any kind of violence? I guess we’ll never know, will we.

How much does Philly depend on tourism for income? This act alone might just convince many people not to visit. Sure makes me afraid to go there on my own. Maybe I would go with a group but I would never get on that subway now.

I was in Phil. for a convention in January. I stayed at that Marriott where the dead guy worked. I never go to Starbucks, in part because the line was almost always out the door. I was glad I walked down to Independence Hall, which I had not visited since 1983. I fear I will never see it again as visiting Philadelphia is even less appealing now. How sad to think that Franklin, Adams, et al would weep if they saw the city today.

I almost tried taking the SEPTA just to see what it was like, even though the sights were within walking distance for me. I thought on future visits I would be able to see more if I was comfortable with the subway. Now I know it is not safe. I won’t be spending any tourist dollars there any time soon.

Yes, the hate filled mendacity and demagoguery of the likes of Wright and Michelle Obama have consequences. Young Black people--Obama's daughters--all over the country are being raised to hate the white people who, according to the likes of Wright, conspire to make them play hooky, take drugs, and contract HIV. Recall the footage of the raucous applause that greeted Wright when he mocked and sneered at the murdered Holloway girl. She had never done anything to Wright and his hate-filled flock: being white was enough. One supposes Wright would now say that putting the murderers in prison is yet another conspiracy.
