Prosecutors: Trayvon Martin case led to racial beating in Oak Park

A man charged with a hate crime in Oak Park this week told police he was so upset about the Trayvon Martin case that he beat up a man because he was white, authorities said.

Alton L. Hayes III, of Oak Park, and a 15-year-old Chicagoan — both black — walked up behind the 19-year-old victim and pinned his arms to his side early Tuesday, police said.

Hayes, 18, then picked up a large tree branch, pointed it at the man and said, “Empty your pockets, white boy.”

They rifled through his pockets, threw him to the ground and punched him in the head and back “numerous times,” police said.

If he said he did it because he was mad at his white hairdresser, I might understand.

Oak Park is a sissytown.

[mylife]

It’s going to be a long summer.

[Bryanw92]

Oh look. He’s wearing a hoodie! I’m glad they have uniforms now.

[Lurker]

Oak Park is the town where when those LINK cards stop working pretty much the entire population of will be nothing but prey.

[mylife]

Hayes was charged with attempted robbery, aggravated battery and a hate crime

Stunning.

[luvbach1]

Here we go again: This for Trayvon!

[luvbach1]

Oak Park is where white people escaped to from Chicago, generations ago.

[dog breath]

Someday they will pick on the wrong white boy and it will prove fatal.

[rbg81]

It will be the defense of the year.

[Steely Tom]

It’s a damn good thing their victim didn’t have a gun.

If they’d gotten it away from him, he’d be dead today instead of just assaulted.

If he’d used it to defend himself, he’d be prosecuted and made an international symbol.

And Oak Park prides itself on being vehemently anti-gun. Sheep to the slaughter is what populates Oak Park, and the slaughter is beginning.

Oh woe is me, I can't make an Amish comment.

The MSM actually identified the race of the perps, my world is crumbling.

[dmet]

If Zimmerman is found not guilty or the charges dropped, perhaps the victim will have cause to file suite against some of the false “news” and professional agitators even maybe Congresswomen who falsely proclaimed Trevon was hunted down like a dog.

“Someday they will pick on the wrong white boy and it will prove fatal.”

Not in Oak Park.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Thanks kristinn..

Your beeber has been stuned!

[mylife]

The kid was probably hopped up on skittles.

[SunkenCiv]

If the 19 year old victim had been carrying, and had put both these assholes on slabs, the various fake reverends shakedown artists would be all over this.

But I’d like the story a whole lot better.

[GeronL]

what a headline.

Is the reporter trying to justify it with that headline?

[mylife]

Never trust a guy in a Hawaiian shirt! One of the New guys at work was wearing one the other day. I called him out LOL

They use the crazy patterns to break up the lines of stuff they have concealed under the shirt.
It could be a gun, It could be beer, or Hot Ipads.
You never know.

Besides.. I find Hawaiian shirts distracting.

[goseminoles]

If Obama had a son, he’d look like Alton and eat dog.

[Boogieman]

It’s Oak Park. Only the cops and the criminals carry handguns. The rest of us are fair game.

[bgill]

All these people getting beaten because of the lies being told by the msm should get a class action suit together and sue the pants of ABCNBSCBSCNNFOX etc.

[Sacajaweau]

Looks like Obama has a couple more sons.

[sjmjax]

Looks like Obama has a couple more sons.

Plausible explanation why we find no evidence of past Obama girlfriends.

All his "dates" have been with a very, overactive sperm bank.

[Secret Agent Man]

Sons of Obama.

[SkyDancer]

Anybody hurt or killed because of what the MSM lied and distorted on purpose should be held accountable. Anybody!

[Eagles6]

SOBs (Sons Of Barry)

[popdonnelly]

Black parents should tell their children that white people will defend themselves, so it’s probably a bad idea to attack them.

I was born and raised in Oak Park. I believe one of the only towns in the nation where integration did not diminish property values. But it borders the Chicago west side ghetto that is as mean as they come. It went from an idyllic upper-class (north OP) and middle-class (south OP) to a liberal, homosexual stronghold these past 20 years. Check out the latest column on the Martin/Zimmerman caper by a typical OP Lib:

A forty point buck.....

“Empty your pockets, white boy.” They rifled through his pockets,

Notice how "Social Justice" always includes stealing and/or looting.

It's Oak Park: the victim will apologize for being "privileged."

[Jay Santos CP]

Well, first of all, I'm shocked that such a thing could have happened in Chicago. I've heard such warm and wonderful things about the Chicago metro area. Or more pointedly, I'd go to hell before moving to Chicago.

It's been a long time since I've taken an IQ test, but I recall that they were big on recognizing patterns. It's something my golden retriever is really good at. I'm not that great at it, but I continue to see some patterns in life. Unmistakable patterns, like the stove can be hot.

[GOP Poet]

Me thinks if Obama had boys they’d look like these thugs. Where are you Obama? Where’s the comment? You can’t have it both ways.

[GOP Poet]

personally I like a sharp dressed man. Hawaiian shirts scream really poor clothing taste to me. I like my man conservative too and often Hawaiian shirts in another setting besides extreme casual screams liberal to me for some reason.

I had a friend I set up with an old chiropractor of mine. He showed up first date in a Hawaiian shirt. Needless to say the date didn't last long and he didn't have a second one. The first words out of her mouth, "He showed up wearing a Hawaiian shirt and she was a liberal woman. haha.

[MasterGunner01]

Obama’s and Holder's people gettin’ even wit’ Whitey. Yeah!

Perhaps it's time to consider the 3S Program for these feral animals as they do for wolves out West: (1) shoot, (2) shovel, (3) shut-up.
