Racial Justice?

Black-on-white attackers get probation
Mob severely beat 3 women on Halloween
Posted: February 3, 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

In a decision that shocked both sides – and left the prosecutor in tears – a Los Angeles County judge yesterday released four black teens to their parents to serve 60 days of house arrest for the severe beating of three young white women on Halloween night.

The attack on Laura Schneider, 21, Michelle Smith, 19, and Loren Hyman, 19, which occurred in in the Bixby Knolls section of Long Beach, was carried out by a large group of black teens – as many as 30, according to reports. The upscale neighborhood is known for lavish Halloween displays and has long attracted crowds.

Ten teens were charged in the attack. All maintained their innocence throughout the trial. Juvenile Court Judge Gibson Lee found nine of them guilty last month.

"Perhaps the only thing worse than suffering 13 facial fractures was seeing my friend Laura lying on the ground lifeless," Hyman told the court earlier this week, as victim-impact statements were offered before sentencing.

Schneider suffered a concussion after being struck by a skateboard when someone yelled out a racial slur.

Hyman, who was scheduled to have 4 1/2-hour facial reconstruction surgery yesterday, sustained multiple fractures in her nose and around her eye. More...

As I watched this story on the news last night, I sat in disbelief!

These girls took a hell of a beating from a group of thugs for no other reason than being "white". The one girl was even beaten more, as she lay unconscious.

Anybody that could defend this sentence, needs to be beaten with the skateboard used by these attackers.

As they were being beaten, racial slurs were hurled at them. Isn't that a "Hate Crime"?

The judge is quoted as saying - "it was an awful crime, terrible physical and emotional injuries," Lee said he had to "pick the least restrictive disposition" – a decision that has support among juvenile law experts.

Had roles been reversed and it been "white" kids beating "black" kids and screaming racial slurs would the sentence have been the same? HELL NO!

In interviews after the story ran, african americans were defending the sentences, saying these kids did nothing wrong! I guess beating someone until they need reconstructive surgery is not a bad thing if they are white.

You know damn well, had roles been reversed, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the NAACP would have been marching from one end of CA to the other screaming racism and this is a miscarriage of justice!

I wonder if they feel the same way about this?
