    Police: State Fair mugger targeted whites; 'easy targets'

    Posted 8/12/11 7:12 a.m.

    WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) - The investigation into 11 of the violent incidents on the opening night of the Wisconsin State Fair has resulted in the arrest of a 16-year-old African-American who reportedly told investigators he targeted whites.

    West Allis police said Thursday the teen was arrested late Wednesday. The Milwaukee teen was booked on suspicion of attempted robbery and robbery. Police recommend that he face additional penalties for hate crimes.

    Police say the teen told investigators whites were chosen because he considered them "easy targets."

    On opening night of the fair last week, 31 people were arrested and at least 11 people were hurt. The West Allis Police Department has said race was a factor in the 11 violent incidents it's investigating.

    The State Fair has stepped up security since the attacks.

    Easy targets? As in unarmed by the state? Unlikely to be illegally carrying a fireare? I wonder if they will proceed on adult hate crime charges?

    I've noticed that this isn't happening much in areas where citizens can lawfully carry concealed firearms.

    Open carry is legal.

    Never going to happen Don, "Hate Crime" is a one way street if you aren't in the flavor of the month groups.

    doesnt really sound like a hate crime, the goal was mugging...not just attacking whites

    Men mugged, pants taken at Virginia Beach Oceanfront

    Police are looking for a group of men who mugged two people at the Oceanfront early Saturday morning, taking money, credit cards and one of the victims' pants.
    The victims, ages 21 and 22, were walking in the 1000 block of 24th St. about 5 a.m. Saturday when a man approached them and asked for cigarettes, said Officer Jimmy Barnes, a police spokesman. They gave him a pack and continued walking to the Birdneck Village Apartments nearby, he said.
    They were near the tennis courts when one of the victims felt something strike him from behind, and a group of men attacked, Barnes said. One victim suffered an injury to his ear, and the other suffered a cut lip, he said.
    The attackers took one of the men’s pants, as well as the victims’ cash, credit cards, identification, car keys and an iPhone, according to Barnes and a police report filed online.
    The victims said they did not know their attackers, Barnes said. There were three, plus as many as five others watching, he said.

    We can't believe this black punk. He went for the whites out of unadulterated liberal hate. Some of the victims were called "dude".

    As you yourself admit, the secondary motive was mugging . . not just attacking whites. You seem to realize that the primary motive was attacking whites.

    I dont think motive was attacking whites at all....it was muggins, and whites were chosen because they thought they were easy targets...and I dont think thats what makes a hate crime..

    I could be mistaken, of course puinks like this should be in prison regardless.

    Todd,

    Did you notice that the target selection was the young and the fairer sex? People less likely to be armed. Were they open carrying, when they were robbed? I'm guessing no.....[​IMG]

    So he targeted them because they were white and in his mind that made it easy.

    Exactly what planet do you live on that makes that not a hate crime?

    the goal wasnt to simply to attack whites, it was to mug...attacking whites was a secondary motivation.

    Yeah, haven't you heard? Blacks can't hate whites in our P.C. society. Only whites are racist.

    Seriously, though? This shouldn't even be up for debate. These black youths specifically targeted white people. The reason shouldn't matter, but if you want an explanation as to why they were considered "easy targets", it's because many inner-city blacks consider the "white man" the enemy. "Yo, I'm a thug, and white people are just a bunch of uptight nerds. And besides, they owe us for, what, how long's it been now? Years of oppression."

    If you think I'm wrong or somehow misguided, ask your white self why you'd rather not walk down the streets of South Harlem, if you could avoid it.

    Seriously, this politically correct bullsh!t is KILLING us.

    Not surprisingly, CNN completely ignored the Wisconsin State Fair incident, choosing instead to do a full report on a black man getting run over by white youths in Mississippi.
