[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What evidence is there that this was a hate crime? The behavior appears motivated by the fact that the victim was a snitch, not because he was white.[/quote]

I haven't read any articles about this, only clicked on the link above. Where did you get the snitch information?[/quote]

There's a link to a previous story from 11 July. http://www.wfla.com/story/22819448/3-teens-charged-in-pinellas-school-bus-beating

"An investigation revealed one of the suspects had tried to sell drugs to the victim in a school bathroom. The victim notified officials at the school. Later that day, the suspects and victim rode the same school bus home."

Snitches get stitches. Everyone knows that. No indication that this was motivated by racism.

Since the OP is trying, clumsily, to connect this to Trayvon/Zimmerman, the difference here is Zimmerman profiled Trayvon because he was black. The perps here already knew the kid was a snitch. It doesn't excuse the violence, but it's a different sent of circumstances entirely.[/quote]
