Three teenage girls are facing several charges, including ethnic intimidation, after police said they brutally beat a 32-year-old woman Sunday in Pittsburgh’s North Side........According to police, the girls threw a bottle at the woman’s car, and when she stopped to confront the girls, they attacked her........Officers said the woman was kicked, punched, robbed and left in the middle of the street. Police said they also called the victim a racial slur........The victim was taken to Allegheny General Hospital and is expected to be OK. The girls were taken to Shuman Detention Center and charged with ethnic intimidation, robbery and conspiracy.
That's it? "Ethnic Intimidation"? Where are the hate crimes charges? Oh I know.....you can only commit a hate crime if you're white, blacks are exempt. /s

I'm not blaming the victim here but.....
"and when she stopped to confront the girls, they attacked her........"
I mean duh!!!! But here's the good news......
When she stopped her car she was obviously acting out as a democrat. She approaches the situation with only her tongue and proceeded to give them what they deserved, a severe tongue lashing.
[inferior firepower]
But now that she has been brutally mugged and left to die in the middle of the street?
reality being as it is and all, will set in and now she's likely now going to start packing and soon thereafter, become a republican.
As for your last point gramma, hate crimes are dumb. Life is life is life. These laws were passed to protect certain minorities. As such they really are unfair and unjust laws. These groups would not be in favor of hate crime law if they suddenly were to become the victims of its enforcement. That'd only add to their burden you see.
So, what started out as a "great idea", one that made them and all the liberal do-gooders feel good when it was passed, is now looking pretty weak as the selective application of "hate" crime to only some members of society isn't legal under the laws of justice
I don't disagree with anything you said TM! But this last quote:

Now that one really hits it.
And I guess that's really where I was going here. When laws only apply to 'some' members of society violence will necessarily erupt as the first segment believes they have a pass, and the 2nd segment feels wronged (and rightly so) and begin to fight back.
I believe this is what we're seeing. There is yet another report coming out of TN:

If certain segments of the population want to start a race war they are off to a fabulous start.
That's the problem with starting a ball rolling. This will never stop now. Every black on white crime is going to get lifted up and made note of. The problem is the Zimmerman case was so weak. It wasn't worth the national attention that it got. If that was the best the extortionist Jackson and Sharpton could do finding an example of racial injustice then they are irrelevant to the national dialogue. But I blame the damn president and leaders like Colin Powell for not charting the just path through the racial confusion. This is a powder keg now and it will escalate as the varioussides add their own fuel.
I'm sad to see it. Being "right" is now more important than being a godly influence. The word "hate" has lit America up and where we end up nobody knows.
And God still leads those who are willing to follow a better path.
