If it was a hate crime, the beating would be much more brutal. The criminals seemed to have more interest in his stuff than in his skin color. The humiliation of the victim is more a sign of idiotic macho-thug culture than racism.

Does the definition of hate crime state brutal beatings a prerequisite to being a hate crime? Spray painting the "n" word anywhere is a hate crime. Spray painting the Swastika on a Jewish worship center is a hate crime. No brutality in a spray can yet it is a hate crime.

I can't see how this story makes the national news other than showing how foolish people are: the victim for the stated reasons and also the thugs for uploading their crime to the web. Other than that it looks not especially "savage" and is sadly not something uncommon.

I can see why it is not national news...because Trayvon Martin has captured the national attention with marches, riots and the New Black Panthers forming a posse to execute a lynching. The New Black Panthers have verbally stated in no uncertain terms they want Zimmerman dead or alive. Yet, Holder sits idle by doing NOTHING. Al Sharpeton is doing what he does best. Agitate. So yes, I can see how this story could not make national news when there is plenty of sensationalism and gas for the Martin/Zimmerman case. The same circus with Casey and the daughter who was missing for months and trails of endless lies. But yes, stripping a guy in the streets relieving him of what he has is definitely not savage at all. It is a day at the beach. So tell me, how often do you see this in your neighborhood?
