Hate Crimes are a Joke [on America]

I was thumbing through the local stories this morning and found a piece out of Tampa that disturbed me for several reasons, not the least of which is my family connection to the area.  I have always known this area of town to be a good area so I was shocked to find out that a U.S. Army soldier was brutally jumped and robbed by four black suspects.      The little bit of background I was able to get on the story goes like this.  This young soldier who has been described as being in his early twenties has yet to be named.  His vehicle broke down on his way home and so he decided to walk the rest of the way and I would assume phone a tow truck from his home.  While he is walking he takes notice of a group of three men in front of him and one behind him.  One of the men in front of him doubled back to ask him if he had a dollar.      The one thing the assailants didn't count on was that this brutal and cowardly attack was recorded in its entirety by a private security camera placed at a nearby home.

     The soldier who was going to give the suspect a dollar reached for his wallet and it was at that time that the initial suspect struck him in the face.  At that point the other three men rush the victim and the four suspect began to kick, stomp and punch the soldier while he attempted to get away.  The soldier didn't make it too far before he could no longer move and was continuous and viscously stomped over and over again.  Eventually the beating subsided and the four men took his wallet and cell phone.  When the young soldier was able to regain his balance he went to several homes trying to get help.  When someone finally answered their door the homeowner helped him until rescue units could arrive.

     This kind of brutality is not surprising unfortunately as I have been somewhat desensitized by the events of the past year.  There are literally stories every week of white victims being beaten severely in the streets by gangs of young black men.
     These stories are everywhere except the media.  Here are just a few: Two young black men beat a 50 year old man with a hammer on April 2nd, a gang of six black youths beat a 78 year old white man named Dallas Watts in Ohio in early April  and the story of Edward Schaefer who was a 64 year old veteran who was beaten almost to death by six black males.  These are just a few, but please feel free to Google search and view the countless stories of horrific violence just from this year.
     What particularly irritates me is that none of these stories make the national news.  No one refers to these crimes as racially motivated.  However, when it comes to Trayvon Martin or Oscar Grant, those are crimes of extreme racial hatred and bigotry.  It is ridiculous how our society has allowed us to give a pass to these violent and barbaric youths that seek to terrorize America citizens.
Why haven't I heard Eric "my people" Holder mention one of these cases in regards to his hate crimes crusade?

     Can anyone imagine the outcry if there was a rash of white males attacking black citizens?  It would be front-page news every single day.  It makes me sick the double standard that has become the trend in America and the news media.  Everyone cries for Trayvon Martin and his racial injustice, who cries for these people?  Do their sufferings not equally matter?
     This young soldier is also someone's child, brother and grandson.  But I guess he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.  My only hope for America is that one day we will have the courage to look at all things equal and not political.  One day I pray that we will have a society where we can all stand together against these violent and barbaric people regardless of their color or ours.  But until that day, I will keep my handgun permit up to date.
     Just my two cents on how hate crimes have become a joke in America.
