But this is a racially motivated attack.
 
Youth guilty of racist axe murder

I see one difference in the two cases, that being the colour of the victim. Retarded ideas like this are part of the problem, not the solution. Don't get me wrong these bastards should never see daylight again, but the same standard should apply to the maniacs in the link in the OP.

Re: But this is a racially motivated attack.
 
Fortunately, the people who decide these things don't just read articles about them to see if there is a difference. They actually listen to the evidence.

One difference here (just based on the articles) is that in one the racial epithets came before the attack. In the original the racial language came during the heat of the attack. In one there was a series of violent incidents against people of many races, in the other it was targetted to one individual.

But if a couple of Asian guys stamp on a white guys face and shout we killed the white man while laughing as they leave, it's okay. The double standards are amazing, justice is not being done in that case.

WTF are you talking about? I live in Westchester. This was FRONT PAGE news. And there were follow up stories.

I don't live in Westchester and I never heard of this incident. That is what he was referring to. If the races were reverse, it would have probably received greater national coverage. Like the case in Texas where Mr. Byrd was horribly murdered. That received massive coverage, but when there was a revenge attack on the same place against a white guy, the national media ignored it.
