Witnesses must not be backing up the “victim’s” story.

Of course it’s not a hate crime. The victim is White, not a female and, furthermore, is not Muslim.

I’m sure Michigan State has a contingent of Muzzies there to keep everything politically correct.

everybody knows that hate crimes are only committed against blacks, muslims and gays. everyone else is fair game, especially when any of those three groups are the purps

When a guy gets his lips stapled shut and his jaw broke after getting a Nazi salute then how the hell isn’t it a hate crime?

If he were gay and the guys slurred their sss’s while hitting him they would get 10 years minimum.

We were sold on bills that stated that people who were harmed because of race creed or color should be revenged more so than other victims. What we did not realize is at the end of the bill someone tacked on “whites need not apply.”

Perhaps because that is not what happened.

“Sorry, buddy, wrong race, wrong religion. You probably had it coming.”

More likely the underaged kid was drunk (alcohol was admitted to) and he got punched out for whatever reason and had to come up with something to tell his parents.........Might as well blame it on the Nazi's and the KKK.

True enough. Things happen at those parties that need explaining.
