Iraq War Vet Was Warned Waffle House Wasn’t ‘Safe For Whites,’ Gets Beaten, Needs Brain Surgery

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Why would he? Sounds like they made one arrest already and are in the process of nabbing the other culprits of this horrible crime. Not like they know who did it and they are still walking around free. Can't understand why this always gets overlooked...

He wouldn't. he doesn't look like him. His words not mine

He wouldn't. he doesn't look like him. His words not mine

The law seems to be working in this case. The criminals aren't going to be able to claim self defense and walk away.

"Why would he?"....

Good question

The article has been updated since last night, but back then it stated (and this is still in this article linked in the OP's post):

So it's up to the Grand Jury to determine whether this was a hate crime, not the police. Wailing about why the police haven't charged the alleged assailant with a hate crime is pointless, because apparently it's not in the police's purview.

Odd The FBI was looking at charging zimmerman with a hate crime and there was no grand jury.

FBI may charge George Zimmerman with hate crime

What the government would have to prove is that Mr. Zimmerman acted out of hatred toward African-Americans. That's why he came into contact with him. That's why he shot and killed him," Sheaffer said.

Sheaffer said a federal hate crime murder charge could bring more serious consequences than the second-degree murder charge Zimmerman faces now.

“Mr. Zimmerman could be punished by up to life in prison or even the death penalty,” said

No Grand Jury in the Zimmerman-Martin Case

Via Los Angeles Times:

The special prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin case announced Monday that she will not take the case before a Florida grand jury — but will continue pursuing her investigation. The news release issued on behalf of Florida State Atty. Angela Corey

Must be a different set of rules when black folks decide to try to kill a white person because of his skin.

1. The government, local or federal, does not need to convene a grand jury to file charges of any kind, it is common practice where potential sensitive, political or conflict of interests are in play such as with race relations
2. Strictly speaking Police do not bring charges, they file investigative reports and the prosecutor makes that decision ( with or without a grand jury)
3. "Continuing to pursue her investigation" is not synonymous with "looking to bring charges"

We don't do rational and facts, very well around here.

Wait, it's not because black people can walk away scot-free from shooting white people?

I'm so confuzzled after reading VJ.

What's to say, parts of of the US are backward and depraved. At least of that's the conclusion that should be reached by reading stories like this.

Sorry,

It has nothing to do with the thing you folks do in Current Event, I just get OCD about this stuff when I see it and cannot resist, please resume

Keep it up, pay no mind to the riff raff around here.

So it's not a hate crime. Did they do it because they liked the guy? Or just because the odds were in the group's favor?

Is this crime (and may eventually end up being murder) racially motivated? A group of blacks getting back at whitey for perceived injustice over MB?

You were dead on balls accurate . You did not give opinion, you just stated facts about how the law works, without opinion.

Some folks here just can't process or understand that facts don't discriminate or form opinion. They are what they are

I don't think VJ did it.

If it is a hate crime for me to single out a person of color, because of color and do them great bodily harm, then it should be equally true the other way around.

I've been saying "dead balls accurate" a lot lately.

Are dead balls really all that accurate? Or perhaps just.... moldy?
