The "tit for tat" equivalency argument is so superior in the minds of its advocates . . . because nobody is keeping score except those that want to use it for some moral advantage.

Where was the outrage or "official statement" over the under reporting of missing children or teens that weren't the "girl next door" type? How come boys never seen to go missing in this country? Likewise, the decades of the under reporting crimes against all other minorities?

Many groups waited long and hard for an "official statement" but it would appear that certain groups don't like being in line.

Did the attacker look like he could have been Obama's son?

Does "look like" matter? Whether you're assaulted by any race, is it any less an assault?

Let's set the "Wayback Machine" a few years back and see if "Beaner Jumping" . . . Clocking . . . Wilding . . . Jew Jumping . . . random attacks on Sikhs after September 11 . . . Spook Hunting . . .

. . .
Are the charges the same for a racial hate crime assault as a non racial assault counselor? Is the possible punishment the same for both crimes counselor?

Assuming teenagers to be stupid/ dangerous/ reckless has worked out pretty good for me so far. I'm not sure if being 6'2" and 260# helps or not though :p
