Oops, My Bad – Hate Crime Edition

A group of 40-50 white boys angrily confronted and attacked a black family after a fireworks celebration, shouting, “This is a white world” while pummeling the father, assaulting the daughter, attacking the family’s friends, and scaring the mother so badly she shoved her teenage son into the bushes to protect him. The father spent five nights in the hospital.

Police have classified the racial attack as a hate crime, and are vigorously pursuing leads while the DA has held press conferences with the mayor, proclaiming that their city will not be held hostage by roving gangs of white boys. State authorities have pledged full support to catch and punish the criminals.

Oops, my bad.

It was a white family that was attacked. It was a gang of 50 black cowards who brazenly attacked 3 middle aged men and a teenage girl.

Despite the fact that a group of one color viciously attacked a much smaller group of another color while yelling racial phrases, including "this is a black world," the police are refusing to classify this as a hate crime. The DA and the Mayor are not quoted or even mentioned in the story. I suppose they did not deem it important enough to get involved.
