This takes “hate crime” to a whole new level.
Why was not the race of the attackers mentioned and why was not the word Hate Crime used. Because the facts had not been investigated. The use of the word racism is used very quickly when the attacker is not black. Could this not be a case of a black on white hate crime, possibly, but we do not know until the case is investigated. But the question could have been raised by a reporter doing a good job investigating the story. It should be noted that it was not. What this may be ultimately is a window into the world of the individuals of what ever race they may be and one could comment on the lack of morals and decency of the of those individuals, who are of a single demographic, shown on the video.
I’m just shocked that a group of unruly spear chuckers would do something like this.
