Of course, This is not a hate crime.....

2 men are in the hospital after being attacked by 7 others.

the 2 men are white, the 7 are black.

This is, of course, just an assault, not a hate crime.

I wonder what it would be if the races were reversed?

Seems that the incident began at a waffle house in West Point, MS. The two men left and went to a different restaurant, but were followed by the group of 7. Outside of the second restaurant, a fight occurred:  the result? One (white)man severely beaten and in the hospital. The other (white) man is in an induced coma after undergoing brain surgery.

Somehow, this is being investigated as a simple assault, not a mob action and not a hate crime.

Odd how the parameters for such things change as race changes, innit?
