White Knockout Perp Charged with Hate Crime Against Black Man (Texas)
Big Government ^ | 1/25/2014 | ROBERT WILDE

On Thursday, a 27-year old white Houston man was indicted for a hate crime for punching an unsuspecting 79-year old African American man. The incident occurred on November 24th and resulted in a broken jaw for the elderly victim.

Investigators say that Conrad Alvin Barrett sucker punched the man and laughed while yelling “knockout” as the victim fell to the ground. Detectives further remarked that he had videoed the “knockout” blow on his cell phone and later shared the recording. 

Barrett remains in custody since his arrest on December 26th. A court hearing is pending next week. His lawyer, George Parnham, has commented that Barrett has a bipolar disorder and was off his medication at the time of the assault.

Back in December, U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson said, “Evidence of hate crimes will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted with the assistance of all our partners to the fullest extent of the law." If Barrett is convicted of the hate crime charge, he could be sentenced to up to ten years in prison and fined up to $250,000.

Yes, reminds me of "Bonfire of the Vanities".

The prosecutor wanted to run for higher office and if he could bag a WHITE perp, it would make him more electable.

So now Holder has found his "White Whale" and he's going to ride it for all it's worth. Too bad the perp isn't rich. Then Holder would have hit the jackpot.

The thing is about this case, EVERY normal white person(or any other race) CONDEMNS this act of stupid racist violence. Aspiring rapper, getting his life together, single parent, ran with the wrong crowd, being bored, unemployed, saw a movie and needed an "outlet", ad nauseum.

Something happened with the edit. SHOULD have read if the races were reversed, all we would have heard were the same excuses.

Rap star, outlet, bored, etc. Sorry.

Agree throw the thug in jail, like with all the other knockout perps.

Forget the "hate crime" crap, unless it is applied to everyone.
