It really suprises me that there is a not a lot more vigilante justice in this country. With all the crap people pull and all the sick freaks out in our neighborhoods, I would expect a lot more cleaning up with a gun. I know the system works... usually, but I am sick of paying out my *** in taxes to keep all the useless trash locked up. And in the case of all of the random killings, thats ridiculous. As if we don't all have a hard enough time getting and keeping the guns we have and want. This country is in need of a real overhaul. 'Please stop shooting people at random'. I like having my CPL. That was all kinda random... Sorry

I wonder if this situation contains the three prerequisites for use of deadly force: Opportunity, Ability, and Jeopardy.
Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family.
Akron police say they aren't ready to call it a hate crime or a gang initiation.
You can add disparity of force to that.
Of course it was a hate crime! I am so tired of the notion that whitey is the only racist on the planet.
Was the group racist? YES!
Hate crime? ("this is a black world") YES!
Was it "a gang or a group of teens"? Sounds like a gang to me. Wow, why is the media downplaying it? Other way around and it would have started riots.
Thanks for the articles.
This type of attack is where that second or third hi-cap mag would come in handy.
What I do not understand is the seemingly constant penchant for "classifying" such crimes as "hate" or "racist". Can't the civil magistrate simply find, apprehend, and prosecute the perps for beating the tar out of innnocent non-threatening citizens? Isn't that illegal enough? (not to mention morally reprehensible).

Most people that discuss the topic of "hate crime" legislation miss the point of such bills and laws. The laws do not increase punishment for such crime, or try to divine motivation in any clandestine way, they simply provide measures for the involvement of higher authority in local cases. The reason being that in many places and cases crimes against certain classes of people were not being prosecuted because of local biases and good ol' boy politics.
For example...when I was a young boy in WV a local guy was brutally murdered by an angry mob. His crime was dating a white girl when he was black. For the longest time local authorities would not even charge the people that did it because they "could not gather enough evidence" which translated to one of the killers was the sheriff's brother-n-law and another was a local minister. Eventually the state, spurred on by the NAACP, was able to get charges brought against the killer but they still went free because of local ties and prejudices. If hate crime legislation had existed at that time external authorities would have had greater leeway to move the case outside of the county to a less biased atmosphere and a group of disgusting killers would have not walked away scott free.
That is the true intent of such legislation...despite how mouth pieces from the far right like Rush try to portray it.Perhaps the existence of hate crime legislation can force local LE to do the right thing and prosecute these morons.
