The article references a video of the incident. If there is a link, I missed it. It would help the debate to see the actual video both of the accident and then the mob attempted murder.

Blacks kill each other at an extremely high rate and now I’m supposed to forget that and declare that this wouldn’t have happened with a black driver.

I will say that this would have been unlikely in a white neighborhood regardless of the race of the driver.

“I used to flip houses in the part of town that was 95% black.”

I watched Rehab Addict last night, the program with “Nicole” (the blond that wears the low cut string-tops and shorts while rehabbing old homes). She’s from Detroit, and had returned there to rehab a burned house she’d picked up for nothing. It was on Campbell Street. Maybe you’re familiar with that area

Nicole did a great job on the house. She even bought two vacant lots across the street to plant a community garden...had lots of the local school kids out helping with the planting.

I made the comment to my wife...nice, classic house...great rehab...BUT...I wonder if Nicole will ever be able to sell it? I’m thinking she’s stuck with it now.

Way back then, the southerners should have picked their own cotton. Slavery has resulted in unmitigated disasters, one after another after another. And more to come, I guarantee it: when the EBTs stop.

..many are starting to wonder..

The driver's biggest mistake was driving any where near Detroit. The real wonder is whether or not the unwashed mass of melanin deficient folk will ever pull its collective head out of the sand.

"While this beatdown was wrong, it may have been the first demonstration of a new public confidence in improving their own lives by fighting crime, or what they believe is crime."

Bravo Sierra!

That was a black, racist "honky beat-down" hate crime. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Blacks have declared war on whites in the US. Thanks to the presstitutes, many folks don't recognize it yet.

Yes, this would not have turned out the same way if the driver was black.

A small child? 11?! Not a small child there, unless he’s a dwarf

Michelle Obama:

“A group of folks in Detroit offers a wonderful example of the difference that can be made in communities,” Obama said. “With one of the highest obesity rates in the nation, many Detroit residents live at least twice as far from the nearest grocery store as they do to a fast-food restaurant or a convenience store.

“And that’s why a group of community leaders and local churches got together and started what they call ‘Peaches and Greens’ where, five days a week, they drive a truck, like the ‘vegetable man’ – you all heard – remember the truck?” Obama said. “My parents used to talk about it.”

“They drive a truck through the city, selling fresh, affordable produce,” Obama said. “And they’ve set up a small market. They’ve planted a community garden. They’ve even convinced some of the local liquor stores to stock more fruits and vegetables.”

And the hoodrats & politicians wonder why there are so few businesses in the hood and businesses that won't service the area out of fear for their safety.

I’m surprised no one has recognized that this was, in fact, racially motivated.

The white driver hit the black kid because he was black.

If he had been white, the driver would have seen him.

Oh here he goes again. CC makes up his own “truth” and then lets fly with profanity when someone disagrees. It’s so predictable.

It amazes me how inner-city blacks are always so ready to injure others. I mean, it can’t be just a tiny 1% of their population, or even 10%.

Can you imagine, a single area in USA where a groups of Asians, whites, Hispanics would do this?

You’re supposed to remember that your opinion is not established fact.
