The attackers filmed the attack with a cell phone apparently and now a part of the film has been made public.

Toby comments.:- I suspected the attackers would be non-white even before I had a look. I was not disappointed.

Disappointed is quite an odd word to use there.

Our society sucks. People didn't used to behave like that. I'm afraid all the folks who warned that violent video games, desensitizing television, and music with menacing lyrics was causing people to learn the wrong things, were so right. And here we are.

Toby comments.:- I am sure the poor sod who got mugged and stripped would have used a word similar to ,'disappointed', to describe his experiences in Baltimore but perhaps he would put it more strongly.

Indeed.
I am sure disappointment at being mugged would be the least of it.
You, however, would have been disappointed if the mugger had not been black.
Not quite the same thing.

What makes a crime a racist crime? It seems that any reference to someone's skin colour is enough to make it so, but I don't necessarily feel comfortable about that.
Just because the criminals make comments about the victim's size ("skinny ****, fat bn****d or whatever) it doesn't mean that the victim had been chosen because of that.
On the other hand if the same group are just picking on white, black, Asian people that in itself should be enough, without any need for them to express it.

Will Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will be arriving shortly to protest this crime as racist?
I rather doubt it.
