If that's the same area where a number of Jewish people have been specifically targeted, I wonder if that's why it's relevant to charging them with a hate crime. But it really should be a double hate crime - white AND Jewish.Glory Days;1541909 wrote:sure i havent studied every incident of "knockout", but based on every incident that I have seen it has mostly been a black vs white crime. if they list the victim as white, then most people will assume the suspect was black and be up in arms. if the victim is jewish, the suspect could be anyone and it wont get as much attention.
Why isn't the victim a "white Jewish man"? :RpS_razz:

"He shoved something into my side. I wasn't sure what it was. It had some force to it. I wasn't sure if it was a knife or a gun," said the victim.
The Taser didn't work, and that is when the victim, who is licensed to carry a gun, took out a .40-caliber pistol and shot Weaver, hitting him once in the leg and once an inch away from the teen's spine.

Hopefully, some kids read this and figure out that it's not only mean and stupid, but it's not even in their own best interest.

Yeah. From what I'm told by those I think would know, most of the people who get into those kinds of things in prison ... do so by choice.Mulva;1553096 wrote:I always kind of figured it was a bad joke more than people actually thinking it's a common occurrence.
