@lololulu19 said in Black middle school students are charged with a hate crime for 'beating up white students in revenge for slavery':
oh.. their punishment will be a 30 minute detention, and be hailed as heroes.
Maybe in your twisted world...
As I've suggested you should do in these cases, look for the LOCAL COVERAGE
Per local channel 10: (https://www.local10.com/news/local/2022/03/11/bullying-over-race-at-coconut-creek-middle-school-gets-5-arrested-police-say/)
The attack happened in a Florida Rec Center - an after school program near their Middle School (not in the school)
2 of the 5 children who were arrested were actually white
the attack was clearly and obviously racially motivated, but contrary to some reports, there was no specific mention of "slavery" or "1700" - instead, it was shouted "this is opposite day" and "you're white" and "brown power"
all 5 children are between the ages of 11 and 15 (15 would be rather old for a Middle School in Florida - but only by about a year or two)
all 5
do attend a nearby Middle School - and parents from both sets (victims and perpetrators in this instance) report that bullying is common in the school, and that the school does little to nothing to stop it.
Contrary to other reports, all 5 were charged with misdemeanors (common for "scuffles" between children), but the local DA is reviewing the case - there is a potential that they could still be labeled "hate crimes", which would make the charges felonies. In Fla, this is the normal course of action - arresting officers do not make the decision on whether to charge as a "hate crime".
The whole event lasted only a few seconds & no one was seriously injured (at least not physically).
The 5 children charged have been prohibited from returning to school pending a separate school investigation.
BTW: At least as-of today, the video of the reporter (who interviewed 1 parent of an attacker and 1 parent of a victim) is followed online by a story about a dude who whipped out his junk in a Starbucks in Miami and started following these girls around....literally beating off while walking behind them! The girls took videos while the store called 9-1-1...
Florida Man is alive and well! I live in one CRAZY-ASS State! (People used to think if CA as the "land of fruits and nuts" - we've got more nuts in FL, I believe!)
