Three African American teenagers, two boys 13 and 16, and one girl 15 attack and beat an 83 year old white man and then stole his car. The amazing this is this is not being called a hate crime, why not? They purposely chose an 83 year old white guy to attack, beat, and possibly kill. I think if the victim was black and the teenagers were white everyone in the media would be calling this a “HATE CRIME”.
Somehow every time we have a crime committed against an African American by whites it’s instantly labeled a hate crime, when it was a crime. Would these boys and girl attacked the 83 year old man if he’d been black, I’m sure they would have. So in most crimes it’s not a crime because they’re black or they’re white… it’s just a crime. Criminals don’t care what color you are they are only concerned about what they can get. They prey on defenseless or helpless people whom they know can’t or won’t fight back. Most of them are cowards who prey on the weak.
The single father of the boys was at work when the incident occurred. He thought the kids were in school. We don’t really know what the story is on the girl… who knows and does it really make any difference, probably NOT.
That is a standard that everyone should consider whether it’s a hate crime or not. If the person was another color would the crime have still been committed? If yes, then it’s not a hate crime. If the answer is NO, they yes it is a hate crime.
