ORLANDO, Fla. -- Four men in Orlando were charged with a hate crime after they pummeled a 62-year-old woman and her two mentally-challenged companions at a public park after they didn't pay a "fee" for being white, police said.
Investigators said the victims were walking into a Kaley Park when they were confronted by Christopher Colbert, Erick Golden, Willie Pritts and Antoniette Boone.
Police said the victims were told that since they are white, they had to pay a fee to be in the park.
When the three didn't pay, the men beat them, officers said.
One of the victims was held up with a knife, a police report said.
Deputies stopped the men a few miles from the park and they were taken into custody.
The men face several charges in connection with the incident.

Odds on this making National News?
Hate crime?
Definitely not a hate crime.
I guess they couldn’t wait for the gubermint to send them their reparations checks so they took matters into their own hands.
Cracker Tax ???
Revrum Wrong parishoners?
Falling Down...
*snicker*
“Four men in Orlando were charged with a hate crime...”
I imagine the “hate crime” designation is because they attacked the disabled, not because they were white. I
Oh yes:
“Typical”. Most typical.
Mugging by another name.
Of course, so is taxation.
Yes absolutely. Those white people had no business being in the park and were showing hate by not paying their "whitey" fee.
No, they were very careful to couch in terms of a “fee”, not unlike our wonderful politicians. And to think about it, an unlawful tax might invoke the ire of federal authorities.
These two young, strong black guys? The ones beating up the old lady? The ones harassing the mentally challenged companions? The guys with the knife?
They don't have enough power to actually be considered racists.
Oh I’m sure Nancy Grace will devote a whole hour to this. The women on the View will decry this horrible act.... In Fantasy land maybe.
This kind of thing probably will increase now that we know it is acceptable, and perhaps even encouraged by certain “leaders” such as Mr Wright.
The court will say the disabled people were to disabled to testify and the hate mongers will go free.
It'll be the top story on the ABC News Hour.

Yea, but its White America that’s the racists....
Sorry, I lose no sleep that large percentages of black males go to prison... they do so because they deserve to be. Step up, be men, marry your women, get an education, raise your children...
Don’t do that, then you are nothing more than the racial epitath you call each other with smiles on your faces, and get all indignant over when a white person calls you it.
Soljouner Truth has to be rolling over in her grave over what her posterity has become.
ROTF.
Very well said.
No connection to Rev. Wright no sireee.
part of Wrights congregation?
It's just awful that these four men had such anger. Of course, their anger was no doubt the result of years of oppression of a minority population.
Amerikkkka invented the AIDS virus in order to keep men like these four down.
Amerikkkka supports Israel.
The four men were just bringing Amerikkkka's chickens home to roost.
We need to understand the anger these four men felt. That anger justified their actions.
After all, they are the victims here.
/sarcasm
I posted before seeing yours : )
I’m sure Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright will be holding a protest about the harsh treatment of the suspects.
I’ve had about enough of this BS! I’m ready to go into theses areas and start firing. These thug types are spreading everywhere with the thought that whites are getting too easy and I’m ready to start firing. I’m going to have to change my user name with talk like this but I’m dead serious. I’ve had enough and it’s time to do something. The media won’t cover this stuff and people need to know about stories like this that are happening everywhere and everyday now. ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“part of Wrights congregation?”
Exactly. Typical white people used to be nervous around young black men because we knew that they were seven times more likely than young white men to commit violent crimes. And we knew that the black on white crime rate was many times higher than the white on black crime rate.
Now, we know that all over America men like Wright are teaching young black men to hate us because of our race. It can only — rightly — make us more nervous, it seems to me.
Don’t forget to give us a body count and let us know how it all works out.
Wow - brave ‘men’, attacking handicapped folks. Glad they published the perps’ names.
They don't even make an effort to avoid being arrested.
On clicking the link, I see another article of a house party full of teenagers getting shot up.
Sigh... I'm counting the days until I leave Florida. Don't know if San Diego will be much of an improvement but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Obama would be humiliated if his granny admitted to being afraid of those men. Typical white person.
Two things occured: Labeling someone “white” as reason for crime makes it a hate crime. Next, these people were disabled, which makes this a Federal issue.
I will guess that these guys are in a real deep truck load of trouble.
Better things await these animals.
I can’t believe they ARE being charged with hate crime. Usually even when the assailants make racial remarks, the authorities are quick to say “no hate crime!” Bull. Not that it matters much anyway. They should be thrown away for a long time. But I suppose they will be out soon enough, free to prey on innocent people. Eventually if one of them kills then we will hear the usual cries of “how did the system fail?!”
Didn’t even read the first sentence, huh? “Four men in Orlando were charged with a hate crime ...”
“And we knew that the black on white crime rate was many times higher than the white on black crime rate.”
Black on black crime is MUCH higher than either.
I didn’t know that I had to purchase “whitey offset credits”!
I live in Virginia Beach, VA. and if you discount the murders committed by blacks our murder rate would be about 5% of what it actually is. And unmarried teenage blacks keep turning out illegitimate babies who will grow up with no discipline and no boundaries and no sense of right and wrong.
I think we need to start 'fixing ' the problem at it's source. Father a child out of wedlock and get a court ordered vasectomy. Give birth to an illegitimate and have your damned ovaries removed. I'm sick of it.
Oh Al? Oh Jesse? Please pick up the black-are-victims courtesy phone please...
Apparently you do now at some park in Orlando...
bttt
Or maybe they could make a game out of it, like "You're It"... If a black guy taps you on the shoulder, you've gotta give him a fin.
It'd certainly introduce a new wrinkle to the science of pedestrian traffic flow... All these black people chasing whites all around Times Square, for instance. Now theres some imagery! </stream of consciousness, stream of stupidity daydreamin'> :-)
