I definitely agree with you. Obviously a hate crime.
The only thing I noticed about this incident was the victim being mentally handicapped. I didn't go looking for his skin color, since in lights of what has happened that seemed entirely unimportant. The mentally handicapped part stuck out like a sore thumb, since this is happening pretty frequently, without the perpetrators being stupid enough to televise the act.
The most incriminating part was that they said "f*ck white people" as they were doing it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
