Brick Attack

Post by Darth Wedgius »

A black man walked up behind a white man and hit him in the head with a couple bricks, and seemed to be severely injured.

The Instagram post of the assault frames the attack in racial terms, seemingly mocking the victim, who is white, and adding the hashtags “White Lives Do Not Matter” and “Blake Lives Matter.” The assailant appears to be black.

Now this is one low-life attacking another for being the wrong race, and that's obviously not limited to black people attacking white people. People dividing each other up primarily based on how long it takes us to sunburn have been around a long time, and I'm afraid will continue to be.

What stands out for me is that, according to the left, this doesn't count as racism.

Kinda depends on if he did it because the guy was white, and we can't be so sure of that.

Is the assailant being charged with a crime? Are police looking for the assailant? Is it likely that the assailant will face criminal charges?

Also a source link to some news item describing this incident would be helpful.
