This is not a hate crime.

Care to elaborate on that for people that don't live in your area?

There have been a lot of attacks on Indian people by black teens in the last few years. They usually don't end up in an actual death which makes this a bit of a novelty. But to have a man (they don't touch women, at least not so far) of Indian descent walking outside and be attacked by a group of young black men is not something this area is unaccustomed to. The attacked men are frequently robbed but not until after the attackers are done taking turns at punching and kicking their victim. The only difference here is the guy actually died. But this happens a lot around here. The victim is almost always an Indian man (sometimes Hispanic) and the perps are almost always black.
