A recent mob-beating of a Buffalo, NY teen has caused a great deal of outrage within the community, and while the crime has been covered locally, the national mainstream press has completely ignored the story. The victim is white and the assailants were black.
On August 18, Brian Milligan Jr., 18, was walking home when he was reportedly attacked at the corner of Genesee Street and Floss Avenue, by between 10 to 15 black men. In addition to being punched and kicked, Milligan’s attackers hit him in the back of the head with a brick.
Amazingly, despite his severe injuries, Milligan managed to stumble the remaining five blocks to his house where he collapsed.
His father, Brian Milligan Sr. told a WGRZ reporter: "I mean, I couldn't believe that a human can lose so much blood and walk home for five blocks. It didn't even look like my son.”
Milligan who spent several days in the Erie County Medical Center, suffered bleeding in his brain and a broken jaw, which will require the reinforcement of a metal plate and reconstructive surgery, the extent of his brain injuries is not yet fully known..
Milligan’s girlfriend Nicola Fisher, who is black, has told police that the two were often threatened and taunted as they walked together through their neighborhood.
Milligan‘s father believes his son‘s relationship with Fisher was the motivation behind the attack. He said: "They're just in love. They just want to be left alone,"
Police are investigating the attack as a hate crime, and Buffalo Police spokesperson Mike DeGeorge told reporters: "The department is vigorously investigating this tragic incident like it does with all crimes in the city. We understand the family's grief and the department is asking anyone with information about this incident to call the confidential tip call [716] 847-2255.”
Despite that assurance from the Buffalo Police, Milligan’s father has expressed his frustration with the current investigation, and recently said: "I don't want to sound wrong, but, what happens if this was a black boy laying up on that bed, and it was twelve white guys that did this to him.”
At this time, no arrests have been made in this case
Buffalo Common Council Majority Leader Rich Fontana has offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Milligan’s assailants. Anyone with information on the beating is asked to call the Buffalo Police tipline is 716-847-2255.
A fund has been started to assist the Milligan family with Brian’s enormous medical bills. Donations can be sent to:
Brian Milligan, Jr. benefit account c/o Leslie Milligan Bank of America 6041 Transit Road Depew, NY 14043
Here’s your answer:
against a white teenager
The victim is white.
This cannot possibly be a hate crime.
I do not do /sarc tags.
The victim can and should be charged for making the blacks hate him enough to attack him. /sarcasm
If the combination of victim and perpetrator is politically incorrect, the crime is just a local story. If the combination is politically correct, it's a national or international story.
Just where is Capt Obvious when you need him.
I wanted to post a pithy reply like NO SH!T SHERLOCK! but trying to keep with decorum I decided not to.
What MSM will report will be something like:
"a white man attacked 10 to 15 afro-American choir group while they practiced their urban kumbya glee club ministry, repeatedly throwing his face at their clenched hands as they cringed from the unwarranted assault by the white supremacy group leader.
Rev Jackson will hold a prayer vigil asking for donations to thwart the hate filled ideology of the perp then leave directly from there to attend his illegitimate daughters birthday party hosted by the president and Hugo Chavez at an undisclosed location in Libya.
:(
It’s kinda even worse: it was a white teenager that wasn’t an inveterate racist, who was dating a black girl.
The “Let’s not prosecute this as a hate crime” people will show up soon, and I’d just like to say what I always say in this situation:
I oppose hate-crime laws and think they should be repealed. However, as long as we’re going to have them, they should be enforced equally. If a gang of whites would be slapped with a hate-crime charge for beating up a black kid, then a gang of blacks should be charged with a hate crime for beating up a white kid.
Poor guy. Guess those thugs just couldn’t stand the thought of a “sista” dating outside her race. Hope the victim makes a full recovery.
I’ll tell you fine folks why ‘hate crime’ attacks on whites are not reported by the national lamestream media.
It is no secret that the above mentioned media is liberal, left and in the tank for all things opposed to traditional, conservative, American values. The media HATES America, they hate the America of Ronald Reagan and they hate what they consider white Anglo-Saxon values. They want to tear down this Republic and they’ve been in mass orgasm mode since last November when their boy and his thugs seized our government.
Now having said all that, HERE is why hate crimes committed against whites by blacks are ignored by the media:
IF there is a ‘hate crime’ committed against a black, the media pounce on it like a tiger pounces on raw meat because they KNOW and WANT to incite and inflame the black community and reinforce the idea that America is at heart, a racist, anti-black, plantation lovin’, Stars & Bars flyin’, Confederate pack o’ rednecks hummin’ Dixie morning, noon and night. THAT is the image of America they want to continually drum into the heads of not only blacks, but ALL non-white Americans. To them, white America is the enemy.
BUT: if there is a ‘hate crime’ committed against a WHITE, that crime goes begging for attention because the media does NOT want to inflame and incite and generally piss off white Americans because they want to continue to treat us like mushrooms, “in the dark, can’t see or hear anything, and we get fed nothing but sh*t”.
There you are, the media wants to keep non-white America in a simmering, resentful, agitated state so that ‘come the revolution’, they’ll be ready to jump up and start wiping out Whitey. Likewise, they want white-America to be as totally unprepared and surprised when such mass violence breaks out.
And here is the most ironic and cynical fact of all: the media doesn’t care about black victims of crime, they damn sure don’t care about white victims of crime, their objective is to manipulate both groups (and other minorities) so that the possibility of a race war, riots and chaos remains likely. As the media sees it, America has to be destroyed, and what arises from the ashes is NOT going to be a re-creation/re-invention of the Founding Fathers ideals and dreams, if the media has anything to say about it.
We as Americans know why this is not being reported nationally, it does not fit the MSM’s template of structured right and wrong. Cause they can not blame it on a white person. (Could the term “White” be racist in itself? Are we not all Americans?)
Just as Henry Louis Gates of Cambridge (another butt boy for Obama) is not just a racist, he could not be an elitist racist or nothing more that a radical attempting to gain powers for himself. Just color them Red and you know the color of their character; just more “enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Up yours with that “white” stuff. And don’t you dare call me “caucasian.”
I am an American of Northern European Descent.
There’s a lot more, too many to remember, and it looks like there will be a lot more. It won’t be reported and it won’t be addressed because it happens because of liberalism and liberalism will never admit it’s wrong.
