Orlando Sentinel: 'No hate crime if the victim dies'
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 4/3/2012 | Gary Taylor

Posted on 04/03/2012 12:12:57 PM PDT by spacejunkie2001

(mods: delete my other thread as this one is more succinct).

I wrote the reporter that wrote the article about the 2 thugs that allegedly attacked the 50 yr old man (who is about to die) and he told he this:

I doubt this will ever be classified a hate crime because I don’t think the victim will survive.

I initially emailed him and asked the victim's name. He responded:

The victim was white. It is Orlando Sentinel policy to not use race of people we write about unless it is pertinent to the story, such as the description of suspects or in the case of the Sanford shooting when the family of the victim made it an issue. If investigators determine this is a hate crime, we will use the race. The Sheriff’s Office has withheld the name because he is on life-support and will likely not make it.

I responded:

I asked the name, not the race but this response just tells me there is hyper attention to race as evidenced by the race baiters in this country turning the Sanford attack into a race issue.

What you’re saying is though, is it only takes the family to scream race before you’ll print it as such. I guess since white’s don’t typically scream race this gets tossed in the trash bin as just another garden variety death by two thugs for no other reason than ‘it was fun’.

This is truly a sad day in America. ***

And this is when he told me that a victim CANNOT die for this to be a 'hate crime'!

Thanks for the information. However, it is your DUTY to report this criminal’s name - the reporter. He needs to be held accountable.

Yeah. If the white victim dies, it’s case closed. Let The Healing Begin. All the hate-crime trials in the world Won’t Bring The Victim Back To Life.

This fool’s name needs to be plastered everywhere! So the victim (white) dies, and we can’t yell ‘hate crime’? He has to be alive? Gimme a friggin race card break! Traaaayvoooonnnnn died —— so his death ISN’T a hate crime now according to liberals? Duplicity abundant. Hypocrites gallore on the leftist side, huh?

Then how can Trayvon Martin’s death be a hate crime?

So if it’s not a hate crime if the victim dies...what is it then other than a murder? A love crime? Meaning...the love to hate the other’s race? This reporter must eat something that attacks his brain cells for breakfast every, single day.

The deaths of James Byrd and Matthew Shepard are the reason we have hate-crime laws.

No. The US Department of Education and the drooling idiot generations it's produced who are allowed to vote are the reason we have hate crime laws.

"the case of the Sanford shooting when the family of the victim.."

Who was the victim? Given the narrative thus far Zimmerman was threatened with death and was in the process of being beaten to death when he defended himself. Is that what you meant, that Zimmerman was the victim?

My only point was that they are dead guys in whose names the abominable "hate crimes" bill was passed.

Hammer attack suspect Yahaziel Israel. Photo from his Facebook account. Israel is the one on the left that looks like he could be Obama's son.

If the NAACP really gave a crap about black people they’d put a thousand dollar bounty on people like those two.

Seems very GAY to drop your pants like that and show your underpants to men.

Since the Trayvon incident, any incident of black on white violence should be directly hung around the necks of Jackson, Sharpton, Obama, Farrakahn, Wright, the Black Panthers, the NAACP and Van Jones.

Yes, I read on another thread that this look originated in prisons as an invitation between inmates.
