But mostly this is simply just more of your typical disgusting violence enacted by teenage cowards trying to feel big. Feel free to research the topic beyond news articles.
Perhaps a better term would be race crime, especially if the perps are soley targeting individuals based on race.

That's my problem with hate crime legislation. You're simply saying that a black man's life is worth more jail time than a white man's. When in fact, murder is murder, assault is assault and it should be treated the same.
Targeted violence based on race is race based hate.
BassagoSo I'm glad this thug will get what he deserves but I can't understand why only attacks on black or Jewish is a hate crime. Do white people no longer matter in the new America?
The “game” has spawned a fierce debate since many of the reported victims have been white and their assailants have been black, but hate crimes charges have been all but non-existent.edit on 761am1717am112013 by Bassago because: (no reason given)

Knockout game AKA mugging or groups of delinquent teens being... delinquents, media hyped into something it's not.
You're suggesting there is no racial motivation for any of the black on white attacks? Those are just delinquents acting out?
Really... really?

Hmm, interesting perspectives here. So a white guy targeting a black person because of color which is pretty muck the same as what the KKK did is no different than any other random act of aggression? Not buying it. Targeted violence based on race is race based hate. I don't care which race on race violence we're speaking of. There are levels of evil.
As far as lady justice, she's not only blindfolded now shes been gagged and silenced. That's why we're seeing vehicular homicide getting off with no jail time, rapists walking free and non violent offenders being put away for life.

Can you prove, with hard evidence, the attacks are racially motivated opposed to being a typical assault case. If they could make it stand up in court, they would charge it.
