Gorge Attack Victims Being Harassed
rnews.com — The terror is not over for a man shot during a robbery at Rochester's Lower Falls Park. He was shot execution-style, but he flinched at the last moment, and the bullet only grazed his head. Now the gunmen, who stole his phone, are calling and taunting him. "They laugh about shooting him in the head."

If white attackers shot at a group of blacks, then started making harassing phone calls to the survivors, the interracial aspect wouldn't be ignored. - durlek, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3It’s not being reported as a racially motivated crime because the perpetrators are black. Apparently the media believes that most black criminals are not capable of racial hatred. On the surface this looks like a very hateful event, especially when the follow-up telephone harassment is taken into consideration. By ignoring the “hate crime aspect” of this and many other similar violent criminal events ... the mainstream media and the law enforcement communities are making it known that blacks are not actually capable of hatred. They are indirectly expressing to us that black people are wild animals and this is the type of behavior which should normally be expected from them. I think it would be nice for our law enforcement community and the mainstream media to communicate to us in a more forthright manner regarding this subject.
