Why is this hate crime being ignored by the U.S. media?

Question

On December 4, 2007, in Baltimore, Maryland, there was a brutal beating. The victim was female, & the attackers were all 14-15 year old students. The students were riding a city bus to school, even though their school-issued bus passes had been revoked. When a 26 year old white lady named Sarah Kreager entered the bus they told her she wasn’t allowed to sit down. When she sat down anyway, 9 black students viciously attacked her. She suffered broken facial bones & other injuries after she was punched, kicked, & dragged off the bus. When a group of black youths, unprovoked, attack a defenseless white woman, with the intention of badly hurting her, break her bones, & then drag her off the bus, the only possible motive is racial hatred.

Answer 1

The media is not ignoring this, I just dont think reporters did their jobs on this one. I also dont think this is about racism. It is about stupid IGNORANT kids feeding off of one another to commit stupid crimes and look cool to the others! This issue of violence needs to be addressed in the schools, the media and more importantly at home. Kids are getting more and more violent nowadays, WHY?? This young lady was lucky that these kids just beat her, because what if a gun was involved. Seriously, this has got to stop!

Answer 2

The only possible motive is racial hatred? Did they say anything before, during or after the attack to indicate that? Maybe they were just horrible people, and they would have done the same to anyone who got on the bus. Nothing in the article gives any indication that there was a racial motive, rather than just a group of lawless thugs being violent. Also, the bus passes were revoked after the attack, so why did you include that?

Answer 3

Its a good question - That's why we need public executions in this country to scare the piss out of these little f'ers. And everyone should have the right to carry a firearm.

Also, there is no such thing as a hate crime it is just another BS PC statement. A Crime is a Crime (period).

You should not have to do more or less time for killing a Gay person or a Black person because then someone who is a victim of that exact same crime that does not fit that category is slighted when their assailants are caught and punished to a lesser extent!

Answer 4

Wow, that's awful. How did you first hear about this? I don't know why this is being ignored because something really needs to be done about it. Kudos for realizing that something needs to be done. :-) p.s. - hmm i've noticed a lot of people are saying that it is only a hate crime if it's against the blacks. I think it's a hate crime whether it's against white people, black people, or any other ethnicity. However, maybe the U.S. media feels the same way that other people do (about it being a hate crime only if it is against a black person)

This is a really good question!!!! Here is a star for you! Don't give up on trying to find an answer to your question!

Answer 5

>>>I additionally discover it humorous/ironic which you as a black women human beings have self assurance homosexuality is undesirable on a scientific point. i think of you're forgetting that we've the countless optimal AIDS expenses. i assume black women each and every person is undesirable on a scientific point. <<< If that is authentic, then that is through behaviour, not race. you're comparing a habit (gay intercourse) to a racial high quality (being black). to that end, your analogy is undesirable, no offense. human beings do not capture AIDS through colour of their pores and skin. They capture it through their habit. an identical is going for gay human beings. additionally, in my answer on your different question, I suggested not something approximately AIDS. i did not even point out it. You delivered it up, not me. certainty: the common gay guy's existence expectancy in u.s. is basically approximately 40-one years previous. that is better than 30 years below the existence expectancy of the everyday male inhabitants. If that isn't data that homosexuality is undesirable for us on a scientific point, not something is. ..

Answer 6

The media, if you have'nt noticed, is the the LEFT and they could'nt care less if it don't have to do with bashing the right! And if there had been a right to carry person on board,he would be in jail for helping the lady out, If you know what I mean. What a crock!!

Answer 7

Cause white can't be victims of hate, only others can be. It's sad really..but think about it. For example:

BET TV station
United ***** Foundation
the list goes on and on. If there was a white television station or a foundation that gave money to only white kids, all hell would break loose.

Answer 8

It seems like the media will pick up stuff that will enrage minorities like Rodney King and run with them, but if violence goes the other way, they ignore it. They won't even show pictures often times of perps who are minorities but the crazy white guy will get a huge front page picture every time.

Answer 9

WOW!!! I live near baltimore and didnt hear about this. Thats just uncool considering how many crybabies we have here. thanks for the links. I'm Hispanic and look white myself and have never encountered more racism from blacks towards me in all the places Ive been at then in baltimore....not even Texas! of all places. This is just insane. Where's Al Sharpton when you need his ridiculous 80's weave.

Answer 10

I'm surprised they're not protesting for the release of those kids like they did in Louisiana. its Jessie Jackson's role to make sure those kids are really really sorry, not the racist criminal justice systems.

how dare a white woman try to use a public service that her tax dollars paid for...doesn't she know those kids have the right to assault her because of injustices committed almost 50 years before those kids were born.
