One excuse is as good as another I guess.

Maywood, Ill. - Alton L. Hayes III, a west suburban man charged with a hate crime, told police he was so upset about the Trayvon Martin case in Florida that he beat up a white man early Tuesday.

Hayes and a 15-year-old Chicago boy walked up behind the 19-year-old man victim and pinned his arms to his side, police said. Hayes, 18, then picked up a large tree branch, pointed it at the man and said, “Empty your pockets, white boy.”

The two allegedly rifled through the victim’s pockets, then threw him to the ground and punched him “numerous times” in the head and back before running away, police said. Hayes and the boy are black; the victim is white.

After being arrested, Hayes told police he was upset by the Trayvon Martin case and beat the man up because he was white, Cook County State’s Attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said, citing court records.

A fine troll post. I am sure that you will get many, many replies (at least 50 pages worth), because many JREFers are completely tone-deaf to trolling.

It may not be a troll post but the title is certainly sensationalist to rile folks up.

A word to bynmdsue, aggravated assault is the most common type of violent crime in this country. Despite the apparent racial motivation, this is about as unspectacular a case you can find regarding assault or hate crime.
 
I think bynmdsue was making fun of the excuse they gave.

Right. The title would be pretty close to trolling without that element. With it, it's a fairly representative thread title.
 
Y'all somehow miss this part?

That's the reason he gave the police! I didn't go out and pick a robbery at random and assign some bizarre motive to it, it's the criminal genius's own statement of his motivation.
 
The topic at hand should really be - SHUT UP! Don't tell the cops something stupid that's going to pile more charges on your head. They've got you for robbery, leave it at that!

Yea - that'll show those stupid cops....

Wait...

Oh $#@!
 
Eh, you can't accuse criminals of being the sharpest knives in the drawers. He's being charged with a hate crime as he should given his own statement regarding his motivations. Not much to discuss beyond his placement on worlds dumbest criminals list.

There was a case of a black gun man who shot up a subway train full of people and tried to blame it on "black rage" to get a reduced sentence. Or maybe he wanted a race war. Whoi can really know.

Maybe this more recent thug thought he could pull the same crap and get away with it.
 
I like this story on so many levels. They were made about an alleged hate crime, so they committed a random hate crime. And not only that, but it was a robbery. And since this is black on white, this acts as an example to cite for when people say "You wouldn't charge a black person..."

This isn't a troll post its news. In 1992 the same thing happened in Atlanta Ga after the Rodney incident except worse. The victim was beated and trampled on because he was white and the assailants were mad becuase of what had happened on the other side of the country. The man was left with permanent neuro damage and no arrests were ever made.

In a place called underground Atlanta so many whites were assaulted for no reason that white people quit going and it closed down. No arrests were made there either.

That's unfortunate (though I quit going there after much of the counterculture dropped further out and underground comics.etc. pretty much walked). It was a fun place at the time!!
