No one is saying what the 4 guys did was good. But I do notice that a couple ppl (not naming names unless I need to) seem to be hesitant to refer to is as a racist hate crime. I called one of them out specifically earlier on in the thread.
If these same people were this slow to call "racism" when things were done to minorities, I wouldn't be thinking anything of it. Because it would be consistent. But the thing is, they're not. Not at all. So to deny there is a double standard among some folks here is disingenuous.

Unless there's some kind of plea bargain made you just know that the prosecutors in the case are going to be all over those remarks. They convicted themselves. There's no way around it. The attackers were motivated by racism, and the other multiple things you mentioned all led back to the guy being white, in addition to his disability making him an easier target. Yeah, they mentioned Donald Trump. But in their view, and there's blame to be shared by the democrats and the leftwing media for this, they were indoctrinated to believe that whites who voted for Trump are racists. The left has long been making that case against whites while either downplaying or completely ignoring that racism is also rampant among blacks. That's clearly evident in some of the other threads I was reading through this morning. There were not a few comments made that said if a person voted for Trump or a Republican, or if a person in Britain voted for Brexit, they were racist. Those four attackers were conditioned from their youth to be racists.
I don't think Tib is saying this wasn't a racist hate crime. I think he's saying it was that, among possibly other things on top of it.
When 4 black ppl are torturing a white guy while saying "fuck white people", it's pretty obvious this is racism. There would be 0 question if it was the other way around, and everyone here knows that.

To be fair, Thump himself has not given a double standard. As he clearly and without hesitation said this is a racist hate crime.
on point two you have failed to establish your claims you can scream if it was the other way all you like you have not shown it so

Oh goody! You didn't know?! We have a script for these, it's a little something we like to call propaganda.
Anyway, it goes something like this:
White > Black
Men > Women
Straight > Gay
Transsexuals > Gay
If you are a Black transsexual woman then you have the highest oppression points. Now, you can either put on your big girl panties, say fuck it, I control my own life oooor you can cash in on your oppression points.
If you are a white straight male then you're pretty much fucked in terms of oppression points. You basically have none, so it makes people hesitant to defend you because, hell what's in it for them? They aren't going to be defending someone with high enough oppression points so that means their social status will remain unchanged but if they were to defend someone with higher oppression points their social status can increase with the help of virtue signaling and higher morale.
We call these kinds of people "fake bitches". They lack any kind of honesty and the only reason they do anything good is to further themselves in the social ladder. Oh well, more fun for me.
She asks people to just be civil and you reply with some snarky strawman. That isn't helping either. I agree with CL, this thread is far off the rails.
