It would be a hate crime if the victims fought back.
that’s why concealed carry is needed everywhere;no place is safe from the thugs unless the good people make it safe.
You got that right.
That could be part of why these mobs can run wild. People could be genuinely afraid that if they touch a member of a protected minority group in some kind of altercation, that they will be charged with the hate crime. It doesn’t matter who starts it or if you are defending yourself, because the fact that blacks are a protected class in the law will override all other considerations.
In this case, it was found to be impossible for a black person to commit a hate crime against a white person, so that’s why there are no hate crime charges involved.
It will be.
And this is why I think these incidents are encouraged and instigated by the left. These mobs of black teens are the perfect proxy army for the left.
They can beat up on the left’s enemies with impunity.
Any that get caught will be protected by the media and state.
Anyone that fights back will be punished by the media and state.
Meanwhile, the left keeps their collective hands clean.
