Last week, in Philadelphia, a group of black teens surrounded a cab with a white driver and passenger inside. They then proceeded to assault the occupants yelling racial epithets as they did so. The passenger was able to escape, while the driver got his tire iron from the trunk and the teens ran off, only to be found later and arrested. However, they won't be charged with a hate crime because apparently they didn't tell someone else in advance that they had intended on attacking a white person. These are the words of Tasha Jamerson, spokeswoman for the DA's office... "They just didn't have that in this case," she said. "If they had somebody who, two blocks before, heard them say, 'We're going to beat somebody up because they're white, brown or purple,' it might be different."...I am sorry but had three whites attacked two blacks under the same cicumstances, yelling racial epithets as they attacked, it would be a different story.
Yet, this incident Was labeled a hate crime...in the same city... A group of Christians protesting a homosexual event in Philadelphia are being charged with a hate crime. They didn't assault anyone, just voiced their opinion...
