Are you out of your fvcking mind? OMG a 16 year old boy tried to kiss a 12 year old girl...these are two children we're talking about here. Yeah, that's child molestation...:roll:

You don't beat children into unconciousness for any reason...ever.

While I would agree with certain reports, in this one it has relevance. You know, the second line:

"The attackers forced the boy out of the Saturday night house party, beat him and sodomized him with a metal pipe, shouting epithets "associated with being Hispanic," said Lt. John Martin with the Harris County Sheriff's Departmen"

Sounds like a real hate crime.

I'm willing to bet their racial slurs were simply to add insult to injury -literally. I bet if he'd left the 12 year old alone, they'd have left him alone. Too bad we'll never find out, though :( Poor dude just wanted some lovin'.

I think the punks should fry. If they get life in prison I'm sure they'll get paid back.

But I think you have a point, just use the formula that is frequently mentioned here. Half his age plus seven puts this girl out of his range.

See? How do you know they're white trash? You're assuming, based on what the news media reported. The media just fuels the fire of ignorance.

you are completely retarded. The whole spiel about the 12 year old girl is alleged. A story they fabricated to not look like the low life trash they are. Did you see their pics? they look like rejects from the human race.

If proven guilty they should kill them. Anyone who does that to a person shouldnt be walking around.

Also arnt all murders and attempted murders hate crimes? Or do you just have to dislike someone to sodimize them to death with a metal pipe?

I agree. The idea of a hate crime is such a stretch for me. Even if I beat up a black man and call him a n***** while I do it, that doesn't mean I'm racist. It just means I wanted to come up with the most insulting epithet possible to verbally communicate what I am already communicating physically. It's hard to say whether these guys were racist or not, but the fact that they were at a party that would have a Hispanic kid in it in the first place makes that seem unlikely. Most hardcore racists/skinheads (that I know) exclusively associate with their own kind.

That last sentence sounded bad...

it becomes a hate crime when you single someone out because of their race or sexual preference i believe.

I can make an educated guess that they're white trash from the fact that they beat and sodomized a younger hispanic guy with a pipe. Just look at their picture, man. If that doesn't scream pride of the double-wide then I don't know what does. Except maybe the pipe sodomy thing.

Ok I'm going to tread lightly on this one. From what I've seen on TV shows like "Oz" and "Prison Break" (which I know isn't reality but they perpetuate my belief) I imagine prisoners tend to separate along racial lines...Hispanics on one side, Skinheads on another, and Blacks on another. I imagine that Hispanic prisoners (by demographics I imagine they make up a decent proportion of prisoners in Texas) are going to pwn these two assholes once they go to prison...and I do mean literally pwn their assholes. Unless the two perps make friends with other skinheads, I don't think these two will last long enough in prison to see a 'humane' death sentence served. But what do I know about real prisons?

Yeah, they're probably just Connecticut trust-fund babies on vacation from Exeter Academy. I guess they wanted to exprience life in the suburbs of Houston rather than another vacation in their boring Swiss chalet

I'd be willing to bet money I don't have that this attack was racially motivated.


Quit being all butt hurt about it (no pun intended). The news media is meant to report the NEWS. It was an alleged hate crime so they are giving us a detailed report. Quit trolling and grow up...

That formula is flawed for anyone under 18. So lets say the guy was 14, does that mean he could only date girls 14+?
