[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a bunch of suburban white kids started attacking a stranger in front of a Hilton in DC, and a white teenage girl went so far as to spit a victim who was knocked out, the first thing everyone would do was ask why these kids did what they did and assume the victim did something to provoke an attack by kids, especially young women.

But I guess because they're young black kids, no one cares to explore their motives, what provoked them to do what they did, etc.

No, whatever their race, whatever their motives, it does not matter. What matters is they beat the sh!t out of someone for absolutely no good reason. Are you saying that black kids get a pass because there might be a reason they beat the sh!t out of someone?  What reason would be sufficient?  What provocation would be an excuse for what they did? What was the good reason a bunch of young men shot a 10 yr old last summer?  There is none. [/quote]

I never said there was an excuse or it isn't horrible. I'm just making the point that if 13 year old white kids beat someone like this and young white girls spit on someone who was knocked out, the public would at least [b]posit the question[/b] about whether or not the victim had done something horrible to one of the kids to lead them to act like this, even if the public conceded that the attack was horrific and uncalled for regardless of the provocation.

Sometimes it's what people don't say, rather than what they do say, that's very telling...[/quote]

I think you must be a really clever troll. There are frequent reports of groups of DC kids engaging in completely unprovoked aggression on the metro and on the streets. Every so often it happens in my neighborhood. That's why people's minds don't immediately to to "oh, the guy being attacked by 15 teenagers must have done something to deserve it!"  I say this as someone who is a confirmed SJW and is appalled how this incident is being used by the right wingers.

This is not a bunch of underprivileged kids smacking some random white lady on the back of the head or punching some random commuter in the face and running away. This is a group of co-ed 13-14 year olds yelling "that's him!" before almost beating someone to death, after which a 13-14 year old girl spits on the victim's unconscious body. That type of brutality is a far cry from the kind of attacks you're talking about. [/quote]
