In light of West Allis Police not finding evidence of hate motivating any of the attacks on Fair goers last Thursday. Again, I question the motivation for the race baiting statement, or resolution by Milwaukee Aldermen Donovan and Dudzik.

Alderman Hinds also reported that he witness first hand with his own eyes incidents involving fights at the Fair Thursday night. 

Hinds stated that the Black youth were fighting, or attacking other Black fair goers before any reported incidents of attacks on White fair goers, but Hinds press conference the day after the incidents suggested "He" would support hate crime charges against those arrested.

Who is pulling the strings on these  puppet Aldemen in Milwaukee City Hall?

These politicians are an embarassment to the United States.

    As I surmised. There is no way that blacks will be hit with hate crimes charges. The skewed statistics of the FBIs Uniform Crime Reports in their hate crimes/bias section clearly display that DAs and police are usually loathe to forward such charges aimed at non-caucasians. The earlier July Riverwalk assaults which were clear and isolated cases of blacks specifically beating up whites solely, will not be prosecuted as hate bias crimes either.

    Thus without this vehicle, these criminals should get the maximum sentences meted out.

    It's a "Crime Of Opportunity", not a "Hate Crime".

    Even with an excessive level of violence compared to a normal robbery, I'm told it wasn't hatred because money was robbed. Even with multiple attackers and victim selection.

    This was just a robbery? I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

    The most defining evidence of a crime of hatred is violence outside the normal. Black people are not animals. They go out to parks and community events.

    Have you seen this level of personal violence? Even in a rough community? White people were not the only people to go to this fair. Why were they the only ones beaten and robbed? Call a spade a spade.

    It's a hate crime. Even if the guys stole a couple of bucks.

    Whites were not the only people attacked that night at the fair. Prior to the attacks on whites mostly when law enforcement closed the grounds due to a number of blacks were attacked, beat down, and knocked unconscious. These incidents went unreported by the media, but the West Allis Police department is aware of the prior attacks (Black on Black) before the few incidental attacks on white fair goers. This is the main reason they WPD can not file hate crime charges against those apprehended.

    That is all you understood with that?

    Prior to the attacks on whites mostly when law enforcement closed the grounds due to a number of blacks were attacked, beat down, and knocked unconscious.

    If Black family men were beaten down and the press didn't report those events, then it was wrong.

      While it started out as black youth fighting with each other, it progressed to black-on-white violence.

      "It was 100% racial," claimed Eric, an Iraq war veteran from St. Francis who says young people beat on his car.

      "I had a black couple on my right side, and these black kids were running in between all the cars, and they were pounding on my doors and trying to open up doors on my car, and they didn't do one thing to this black couple that was in this car next to us. They just kept walking right past their car. They were looking in everybody's windshield as they were running by, seeing who was white and who was black. Guarantee it."

      Witnesses describe mobs, some people claim racially-charged attacks

      The investigation into 11 of the violent incidents on the opening night of the Wisconsin State Fair has resulted in the arrest of a 16-year-old African-American who reportedly told investigators he targeted whites.
