Hate Crime Coverup

What if we had a hate crime and nobody cared?

LA Weekly is reporting on a story that began last Halloween, but has been completely ignored by "big media". It has scarcely made it beyond local news.

Three white women were attacked by a mob of black teens.

By melee’s end, one woman’s face was fractured in 12 spots, her teeth were broken and she’d suffered partial loss of sight in one eye. Two of the women suffered brain concussions and assorted broken bones after being kicked, punched and even struck by a skateboard wielded as a weapon.

Long Beach police spokeswoman Jacqueline Bezart is quoted as saying a crowd of black attackers hurled racial taunts (“White bitches!” “We hate whites!”) at the young women, and the police were pursuing it as a hate crime.
As the Press-Telegram reported on November 3, three white women aged 19 to 21 emerged from a “maze” walk in a house and were confronted by up to 40 black teenagers who pelted them with pumpkins and lemons. The paper said, “The taunts and jeers grew more aggressive, the victims recalled, as did the size of the crowd. Now females joined in, and everyone began saying, ‘We hate white people, fuck whites!’

Jesse? Al? Hello? Anybody wanna hold a march? Helllloooo?
