Now they have changed the headline, but it DID say Another “RACIAL” beat down at McDonalds. And then when you went to the video on Live [Leak.com](http://Leak.com) they identified the races of everyone involved. What the fuck? Do they think that these scumbags who happen to be black wouldn’t do that to another black person? Drudge, scum is scum, it comes in all colors. ---

So, you watched this video and the thing that got you so worked up you just had to start a thread was that a Drudge headline classified the beating as a racial one (which it _might_ have been)? A headline that they subsequently had changed BEFORE you posted here as to not offend your delicate sensibilities? Interesting set of priorities you’ve got there. Asshole. ---

I’m honestly not sure what your point is. Are you saying that what I really should have started this thread about was two more nigger bitches went “ape” on a white person? ---

The prosecutor’s office has apparently stated that they are investigating whether it was a racially-motivated hate crime. There are also unconfirmed reports that the victim was transgendered, and that that may have figured into the motive for the attack, but the authorities may have denied that. It doesn’t sound like we have much solid information. ---

Since we already have one pit thread going on this topic, I’m closing this one.
