When a white man does it, it's a hate crime

[Big Money]

A man has been charged with a federal hate crime in connection with what authorities say was a racially motivated "knockout" assault against an elderly black man, the U.S. Justice Department said Thursday.


Conrad Alvin Barrett, 27, of Katy, Texas, has been charged with one count of violating the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act.


According to the federal complaint, Barrett attacked the elderly man "because of the man's race and color."


The suspect made a video of the attack November 24, the complaint said.


In the video, he allegedly commented that "the plan is to see if I were to hit a black person, would this be nationally televised?"

Of course Obama put Holder and his Stormtroopers on high alert over this one. He could probably tell you every detail about it, but still cannot explain Obamacare to you.

Didn't JPP liberals claim the knockout game was a myth?

So let's see where this post got you. You were attempting to show that any time a white person attacks a black person it's a hate crime but not the other way around. Even when this white person openly stated that he wanted to attack a black person to see if it would get national news as a hate crime.

You also left out that the black man was 79 years old, why leave that out?

You seem to be less educated than the person that hit the old man...

What does this have to do with Obamacare kiddo?

I don't support Obamacare but why support this simple mind?

How about as your holiday gift to JPP you try and have an intelligent thought for one week?

Dunce. With all the dullard leftist trolls spamming this forum with their repugnant ignorance you think you could find much better targets.

It's not a hate crime when a white guy does it. It's only a hate crime when a white redneck does it.

Right....and Dixie will stand on his head and sing The Battle Hyme of the Republic while eating a tofu salad.

I'm not going to hold my breath that either of these will happen!

Funny, you didn't attribute SimplemanKenneths' thread on the same subject to racism, did, you, Ohioan?

Any idea why federal hate crime charges (out of multitudes of reported knockout game attacks) were applied in this one particular case?

When a white guy does it, after video taping his confession that he is specifically targeting his victim based on race, being charged with a hate crime is assured. Do you have ANY examples of the reverse?

There are quite a few examples of 'knockout game' assaults extant...complete with evidence that there as a racial/ethnic motive or component, yet as far as I'm aware, this instance is the only one the DOJ is calling a hate crime.


Mind you, this one patently is a hate crime for the reasons you correctly stated.


My question is why none of the others were so designated by the feds.

Cite one example where the assailant video taped his intent to target a person based on race and then did so.

I don't know of any.

I do know of cases when witnesses heard the assailant uttering racially-charged rhetoric either before or after the assault.

Is the existence of video evidence a requirement for federal hate crime charges?

No, but it's very solid evidence. Even based on your mere allusions to these other supposed cases it seems to be better evidence. Maybe you could cite these other cases? Probably not. The entire argument of racist pos is based on perception, comparing apples to oranges and a grossly inferior knowledge of statistics. Checkout ila's pathetic fail in the homosexual parenting thread.

As far as I know none of the other attackers were vain/stupid enough to record their crimes, but there are instances where they boasted about the attacks online, in addition to eyewitness testimony.

The only hate crime charges I'm aware of that have been brought against an assailant prior to this were filed on the state level.

But none of them you can actually cite with a link? How about some sort of detail that would allow us to identify the instance you are claiming as a good comparison?
