The Sheriff Thinks the 'Knockout Game' Should be a Hate Crime

[I-10east]

A 16 year old has been arrested over in Arlington (the white dog crew). That scumbag hit a disabled man. The idiot had multiple videos on his cell showing his buddies hitting victims. Sooner than later, they'll get the rest of the crew to. Hitting a disabled man, really? They will be rearrested in the near future. This is why people should use contraception, with all of these mother having babies that they can't take care of, and no fathers around.

I agree that it should be a hate crime, but only in certain instances. I have seen black people doing it to black people, white people doing it to white people. I mean bottom line is there needs to be severe consequences for this crime. I am not so sure calling it a hate crime (unless the evidence strictly indicates it is) may be causing more tension than it is solving. I think maybe calling it felony battery for a general charge may dissuade the activity a bit. Then as an incentive to discourage taping it. Charge the person doing the filming as an accessory to the fact. If they keep this stuff off youtube and other social media then it will be less likely to spread.
