“This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.” So spewed the attackers of Melissa Coon’s 13-year-old son, as they doused him with gasoline and set him alight.
Police, they say, are “investigating” whether this is a hate crime.
Yes, and I’m investigating whether the media is biased and if hate-crime law is applied equally. I’ll get back to you on that — in about two paragraphs.
The attack on the boy took place on the east side of Kansas City, Missouri. Fox 4 Kansas City provides some (sanitized) details, writing, “The victim is a student at East High School and regularly walks home after class. When he reached his porch, two older teens grabbed him, pinned his arms behind his back and then poured gas from a gas can on the boy. They then set the boy on fire.”
Thankfully, the teen victim had the presence of mind to pull his shirt up over his head and snuff out the flames. He was treated at Children’s Mercy hospital, having suffered first-degree burns to his face and head. And police said they were concerned about possible damage to his eyes and lungs.
The concern, however, isn’t translating into national media coverage — or honest coverage anywhere.

I didnt see it in the story did they arrest the criminals?

They haven’t identified them yet.
Double standard.
Hellacious double standard. We’d see it in every news outlet if the races were reversed.
But...this boy was remarkably unharmed after having gasoline “poured” on him and set afire. 1st degree burns? A few hours at the burn center? Compare that man in NC who died after splashing gasoline on himself and lighting a cigarette. He was so badly burnt I’d look at murder; this boy got off so lightly I’d look at a hoax.
What kind of culture were these two black kids immersed in at school, home and church?
The “Double Standard” will end when we end it! Whites, so far, appear so demoralized that they are unable to effectively respond to black attacks. Whites are no longer a people, but have abdicated their right to govern and are now a mere demographic not a People!
As it said the boy had enough presence of mind to pull his shirt up to snuff the flames
Is that picture from that obscure Italian film “Flight of the Innocent”?
You forgot to mention that it is also a "revolutionary" act that pushes history forward another notch towards a utopia of "social justice."
I don’t care if it’s a hate crime or not (just as I don’t care when the victim is black, Hispanic, or gay). This is attempted murder, and the thugs should be sentenced as adults to life without parole. With the correct punishment for a vicious and evil crime, why would it matter if there was a lesser charge included in the charging documents?
No Country for old men. Good flick.
Nope, it’s from the movie “No Country For Old Men”.
Good thing for them, that I'm not King.
They would be having their necks stretched.
Life without parole wouldn't even come close to an option.
Cool picture of a dude about to blow himself up by firing a load from a shotgun into a device with a teeny, tiny hole in it. Must be an Italian flick or something.
“Some folks are just mo’ equal then others..”
You can thank the “Civil Rights Act” of 1964 for that.
One of the most destructive pieces of legislation in American history.
We are reaping the seeds that that law has sown...
maybe it's a homemade 12ga propelled grenade .. lol
Just another day in Obamaland.
