Quote:The three blacks told investigators they had been looking for a car to steal when they entered the Howard Beach neighborhood. They told police a white man in an SUV passed them in the street, exchanged stares with them and then returned with two friends and a baseball bat before chasing them on foot.

Only in America can you admit to trying to steal a car and not only do you not get arrested, the person that chased you and beat you for the attempt is arrested and charged with a "hate crime."

As a side note, I feel that it is also tragic that as an American you have to take the law into your own hands. Unless it is murder, the police don't want anything to do with it. My friend recently had his car broken into, what did the police do? Absolutely nothing, just gave him a copy of the police report.

it is not smart for a black person to wander into hudson beach. blacks and italians generally do not get along. a black kid wandered into hudson beach about 20 years ago. the gavons (sp) chased him, and he tried to get away by running through the southern state. he was hit by a car. that's how scared he was. you do not run through the southern st.

when i was in a historically italian neighborhood in philly, three black kids walked past us, and i saw an old italian woman peer out the door at them while they were walking away. needless to say, she looked very suspicious.

I strangely see both sides.

1) Yes, they may have had intentions to steal a car, but the attack was unprovoked nor in self-defense. I agree with all charges levied on the man, except that hate crime (double-speak) BS.

2) The black men should also be arrested for whatever you give people for "intentions for grand theft auto".

3) I would arrest Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson pre-emtively with the knowledge that they're gonna try and pull some stupid "White Devil"/racist NYC protest. :chair:

That was Howard beach. When you want to speak with authority on a subject, it would behoove you to get the area correct.

How is your post NOT supposed to be taken as racist? It could have been white guys and I'd have still laughed my *** off that they got their asses beat. The irony I was trying to point out was that they ADMITTED what their intentions were and were portrayed as "victims". What's worse, is that while they didn't commit their crime, they did intend to, yet the other guys were charged with a hate crime, which is also a crime of "intention". It's hypocritical.

Good question, why don't you ask all of your friends. Oh, that's right, you don't have many friends.

I have to agree with Kev on this. Your remarks definitely feel racist.

I also agree with him that it is tragic not because it is white vs. black, but because 3 people who admittedly were going to commit a crime were not arrested while a person who stopped the crime, albeit in a violent manner, is arrestted and then charged with a hate crime on top of it.

i don't get confrontational as a result of typo's, or mix-ups. i only get confrontational when i disagree.

plus, it's not really your business. if your name isn't rebelkev or flyingswoosh, stand aside.
