No one said "fuck disabled people" but they did say "fuck white people". If the tables were turned, and it was white kids torturing a disabled black kid, saying "fuck black people," I'd be saying the same thing.
Even though I'm not one for labelling everything a "hate crime", I agree.
Be consistent. I don't know why when a white person is attacked with the attackers literally saying "fuck white people", there are people questioning it like "well is is a hate crime though? I'm not sure of the motivation".
Nobody would be reacting like that if it was a person of any other race, it would be (not incorrectly) "this is racism, this is hate crime". To spin it and make it about "they might have been attacking his disability instead" is just disingenuous.
We live in a world where bleeding-heart SJWs will (without any hard evidence) take up for a well-known Muslim Youtube prankster claiming he was "kicked off a plane for speaking Arabic", and look silly when proven wrong... and then in the same breath downplay racial motivation on a recorded documented case of torture to the tune of "fuck white people". Amazing.
PS if what I said doesn't apply, let it fly. I'm talking about nobody in particular, if it's not people on here it'll be the mainstream media.

"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."
