Music Police or Hate Crime?

A 22 year old white man was repeatedly punched in the face by a 14 year old black teen after insisting upon his right to listen to whatever he wants.
The 14 year old and other black teens had approached the man on a sidewalk and the teen told the man to shut off his music because white people shouldn't listen to Rap music.
When he refused, the teen attacked and the victim quickly vacated the scene to avoid further pummeling.
The attack is being investigated as a possible hate crime.

Ya think?

Mexicans to patrol Staten Island to protect Mexicans?

A construction worker in Staten Island was attacked and robbed in what is being described as a "bias attack".
His attackers allegedly made statements about his ethnic appearance as they attacked him and stole his backpack (how do you know someone's ethnicity in a city as diverse as Staten Island?).
Mexican consular officials have sated that they will have consular employees patrolling the area in order to protect the "Mexican residents" in the area.

Why weren't we told the ethnicity of his attackers?
Could the untold story be that a few people are taking advantage of current ethnic tensions to excuse their criminal behavior?

Hey!
I Have an idea!
Let's have American government officials patrol the streets of Mexican cities anytime we believe that an American has been a victim of "bias attacks".
I'm sure Mexico's citizens and government will have no "problemo" with that.

Looks like a hate crime to me

Two women with obvious self-esteem issues (they think too much of themselves) called a Wendy's drive-thru employee a B*tch and a F*gg*t because their order was incorrect.
Not the food, mind you; just not enough condiment packs.
He replied with an appropriate but, by their rules, disrespectful comment that described them as childish and asked them to leave.
The women entered the store and one tried to slap the employee, who deflected it.
They returned to their car and came back with a stun gun and chased the employee around the kitchen while buzzing the stun gun and shouting hate speech.
