what is there, maybe 25000 blacks in Denver? 0.2 % of Denver's black male population committing violent hate crimes all in a short time frame.
nothing to see here folks, move along now, nothing to see...
And there you have it. If Denver is a predominantly white city then it stands to reason that it is going to be a target-rich environment for black criminals who prefer to victimise whites.
But it also stands to reason that if there is a small black population in Denver and there are 32 of that population alleged to have assaulted and robbed people then think about it, those 32 probably know every black person in Denver, what are they going to beat up and rob their mates? I don't think so.
And if the evidence is there, yes, they should be charged with hate crime, that's what the legislation is there for, to be used.
