Not the Bloods and the Crips, but he's still dead.

Wouldn't hurt to get kids this age into some oriental martial arts, Krav Maga, or just a little something that gives them an edge for a split second.
Bullies don't seem to like it AT ALL if they suddenly have to take a little of what they are dishing out.

“Hate crime, racial motivation

Silly; that only applies to white on black crimes.....
To: La Lydia
Shouldn't the headline read;
Fist Violence Shatters Mom's Fierce Shield
If he had been shot, there is no doubt the headline would have proclaimed 'Gun Violence'.

Seeing the Mom on the news this morning was heartbreaking. No word yet if this was racially motivated, but the perp is black and the victim was white, so we’ll never hear about it.
We also have a new problem in Baltimore where roving gangs of 10 to 25 black youths are beating up white tourists around the inner harbor. Again, no one says if it’s racially motivated, but the victims appear to be almost all, if not all, white and the perps appear to be all black.

Sounds like Capt Waltemeyer is trying to ease folks into the idea of lesser charges down the line, and a lesser sentence. Pity Mrs. Adkins’ sentence is permanent, mourning a boy murdered for no reason...

Small towns like this best jump on it hard and fast or they will become the Bloods and Crips. The police best get their acts together, or replace them.

Anne Arundel County police charged Javel George, 16, and a 14-year-old boy with manslaughter in Christopher's death.With names like Javel, it can only be good Quaker boys gone bad. < / sarcasm >

Ice hockey? probably a white kid, and not many white kids are named Javel. No race was mentioned (that I noticed) so of course it’s a black-on-white crime.

These aren’t bullies, they’re groups of kids who are “gangs” in the loose sense of a group of kids acting as a group, but not the pure bloods/crips gangs. The popular culture has created a glorified “gangsta” mythology, so the kids all think they’re tough guys and want to look like rap stars. As long as they look up to creeps like 50 Cent, DMX, TI and the other rappers, this is only going to get worse.
To: Mamzelle
White victim, black perp. Certainly not racial. No such thing in that direction.

Just dishin’ out reperation doncha know.
As having lived in a inner-city, 90% black area, and a small-town in Georgia, I can tell you this: I experienced hundreds of times more racism from blacks than rednecks.

White victim, black perp.Can't believe this made the news, the ComPost no less!

"Anne Arundel police are oblivious to these groups and don't want to talk about it. The schools and the community don't want to admit it, either, but county residents need to know that these issues are here like everywhere else," Adkins said. "Don't let these pretty little brick homes fool you. It's not all it's cracked up to be." The boy spent a few hours with childhood friends after a family funeral, was seen by rivals, and now he's dead. Gang violence is coming to a neighborhood near you. When human life means nothing, it's easier to justify harming humans. "It's the culture, stupid."

No word yet if this was racially motivated, but the perp is black and the victim was white, so well never hear about it. We'll never hear about it but motivation is clear.

You are so right RC. I live not too far, not nearly far enough, from Trenton NJ, Philly, Camden NJ and ALL of them are having major Bloods/Crips gang problems. Most of all Trenton where it seems not a single day goes by without a gang-related bit of horrific violence is seen. And it's been seeping into the surrounding 'burbs. There were two gang-related hits in the past six months here. F'ing thug gang-bangers.
Small towns are vulnerable to this scourge.
