Even still, what does that have to do with the "usual suspects" making the claim.

It was just a odd statement, IMO.

Looks like it was motivated to some extent by race. I don't think an act need to be exclusively about race in order to be a hate crime.

Would they have lit another black kid on fire or would they just have kicked his *** on the way home?

it's called trolling, a statement made to get a reaction, that is all.

Of course it's a hate crime, unless you only distort racially based crimes to your own stupid semantics.

Let's just shoot them and get it over with. They don't deserve what they'll get, which is a free dwelling and free food at the taxpayer's expense.

Wow. That is really pitiful and disturbing.

And it is indeed a hate crime based on the present information and should be approached as such to anyone.

I guess I just don't understand that type of mentality since I was raised to understand that "people are people, stay away from the stupid ones, and don't be one of the stupid ones". . Race was never an issue.

Take them out behind the courthouse. Kneel them down in the grass. And shoot them in the head.

There is a small group of people on this forum who would be jumping up and down in rage in this thread if the burn victim and criminals would have switched skin tones.

Except for one ..... they have, up till now, stayed clear of this thread.

I just love pointing out hypocrisy.

This is just gruesome. I hope they can make an exception about cruel and unusual punishment and light these two on fire like they did to the kid.

This is just the beginning.
Stuff like this will happen again and again as we are at the brink of total social breakdown.
Arm yourself.

Wonder where the usual suspects are to call this a racially based hate crime?

Oh wait .... I know why.

Isn't that the truth! :starspin


Terrible story and my heart goes out to that child and the family.

I have not found any follow up stories to this yet. No arrests have been made last I looked into it.

There is a lot of black on white crime in KCMO. There is a reason I carry. My job takes me to dangerous parts of town.

Just yesterday there was a guy beaten badly for the crime of being white and walking down a street. It is becoming a weekly occurrence here.

Quite a contrast to the other story, which was updated daily despite reporting nothing new.

Juvenile delinquents who commit crimes of violence that are tantamount to attempted murder ought to face capital punishment.

There would have to be a history of being a delinquint to be put in that category to begin with don't you think?

Dude you try to burn someone to death with malice, do not pass go, directly to maximum facility prison if not death row.

Inexcusable, it is heinous crime, first degree in nature, attempted murder and arson.

I assume the kid can ID them? This happened all the way on March 4th, have they been caught?

Sounds like he knew them, or was this random pick out a white kid and disfigure him and leave him for dead on fire?

I don't even know what to say anymore to stuff like this.

I know. Just makes me think about how not much surprises me when I hear about the ultimate nature of human nature....
