Feds charge white man with hate crime in first ‘knockout’ prosecution

[pedro01]

Polar Bear Hunting doesn't qualify as a hate crime because Holder claims Hate Crime laws don't protect white victims.

This man should be impeached.

[Skeletor]

Kid was wrong and stupid and deserves to go to jail.  What a mess.  They aren't even trying to hide the hypocrisy. 

+1. This is ridiculous (but not surprising).

[HandsomeMOFO]

Disgusting, all this black on white hate crime, and they grab the first white guy they can get their hands on and put his face all over the world news.

US GOVT is RACIST AS FUCK.

Time to take up arms - no honor in letting these dogs rule us.

Mom Punched While Walking with Young Daughter in Midwood, Police Say
By Gustavo Solis on December 25, 2013 11:18am



BROOKLYN — A mother was sucker punched while crossing a Midwood street with her 7-year-old daughter in broad daylight, police said.

The 33-year-old mother was near the intersection of 12th Street and Elm Avenue in Midwood about 2:45 p.m. Saturday when a man approached her from behind, swung at the back of her head and knocked her to the ground, police said.

Nothing was reported stolen. The woman sustained minor injuries to her hands and knees, police said.

The attack appears to follow the pattern of the alleged “knockout game" assaults that have taken place over the past couple of months in Midwood and Crown Heights.

In the knockout game, a random victim is punched in the head and knocked to the ground. Nothing is stolen during the assault.

Police did not immediately say whether they were investigating Saturday's assault as part of the knockout pattern.

Police described the suspect as a man with short braids, about 5-foot-8 and weighing 180 pounds. He wore a black wool cap, green jacket, and dark jeans, officials said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).

Why don't they say black man?

"The FBI said that in a video from Nov. 24, the day of the assault, Mr. Barrett said he wanted “to see if I were to hit a black person, would this be nationally televised?”

"In other videos, the FBI said, Mr. Barrett uses racial epithets and says blacks “haven’t fully experienced the blessing of evolution.”

I would imagine the difference between this crime and the previous ones is that the assailant in this one left videos clearly showing evidence that the attack was racially motivated, without the vids i very much doubt he would have been charged with a "hate" crime.

Feds charge white man with hate crime in first ‘knockout’ prosecution



By Stephen Dinan The Washington Times

Thursday, December 26, 2013


The Obama administration filed a federal hate-crimes charge Thursday against a man whom authorities accused of using the “knockout game” to target a black man, videotaping it, and then bragging about the assault to strangers.

The charge marks the first time the administration has taken action on a “knockout” case after the game became an Internet and media phenomenon. It chose a case in which the person accused is white, even though most other cases reported in the news have involved black assailants.

What a bunch of sensationalist tripe!!!

On the one hand, they saw this is the "first prosecution", ...but then they say that hate crime charges had been filed last month against someone assaulting a Jewish man. 

I wish they'd make up their mind. And then to show the AG as if he was the perp?

And I'm glad they're throwing the book at this guy. It's horrific enough that kids are doing this,
...but this was a 27 yr old man going after a 73 yr old man? ...one who couldn't wait to brag to strangers? That's messed up.

[24KT]

Why don't they say black man?

Probably for the same reason they most often don't describe others they write about as "white",
...plus I'm guessing they figure those reading their article can at least see the crude sketch.
They're probably saving the phrase " Black man" for their Braille edition.

Black or White,these fuckers are cowards........women and old people.....real tough guys.

Great, he should be charged....but what about the loads of young black males that did this around the country to Jews and whites?  Holder is the most biased AG American has ever had.

Almost every victim of the knockout game has been white and the puncher black. No, I'm not afraid to point that out. The white guys should be prosecuted but a federal hate crime when you ignore all the black punchers. In NYC the majority of the victims were Jews and the punchers were all black.

Or a fat out of shape washed up EYE-talian from South Philly!

The usual suspects come out to rationalize. Do they have any shame?

More than andre by far.

Her comments didn't seem out of line to me.  Its just sad people are incapable of seeing the hypocrisy.

[SamoanIrishman]

I wish we lived in a world where what is obviously wrong is always wrong regardless of whom is the victim.

This. Fuck all the racist. If you do something stupid you pay no matter what. Wish our prison system was not as luxurious. We also should introduce caning or some shit especially for juveniles.

Correct -this game is a black cultural thang.

How dare some white cracker infringe on black culture.

Fuck - those honkeys will be wanting their own music awards next.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

There is no way that the Feds don't have evidence of a black man using racial slurs to a white person while playing this so called "game"...
