An assualt is an assualt no matter what the race of the aggressor and victim might be. The attack doesn't elevate to something else depending on the race of the victim. For the media to idetify a race even when the aggressor is behind bars serves no purpose what so ever.
It does when the attack was baced or partly baced on the race of the victim.
Not for the media. The only time when their is a reason to identify by race is when you are in search of a suspect. There is no need to use race in a news report.
Such as 5 white males assualted one lone individual, on the night of March 18 around 10:15 pm on West. Blvd. at Parkway.
Then give the discription of how they looked such as what they wore, any marks tatto's color of hair height weight age. Racial shit sales buy into to media hype if you want to.
