How could anyone justify this? I'm against hate crimes, thought crime should be illegal in a country with freedom of speech, which should mean freedom of conscious. I don't think the prosecutors are done with these guys. I'm sure they will over charge them (assault, reckless endangerment, menacing, property damage, maybe a hate crime by the time they are through) and get them to roll over on their buddies. People who don't think Whites can be the victims of racism are foolish. I gave a guy a free half a drink one night when he spilled it after sitting on it for a half hour. He insisted that I didn't give him a full free drink because I was a racist. Proceeded to smash the bar up breaking about 60 glasses, throwing and missing with a few at me. Overturned tables wrecked some plants, etc.. It wasn't a blameless protest against the evils of racism, it was a childish attack on me and the guy I worked with. I'm sure the guy suffered all kinds of indignities because of our racist system but his behavior was inexcusable and straight racist. If this had happened to me I would have gunned it. I don't want to kill anyone, i don't even want to hurt anyone, but threaten the safety of my child and I'll do whatever it takes. Hope they receive an appropriate charge when all is said and done.
