I think that booze is largely to blame for the entire incident obviously the Mountain Dew guy was most drunk but it is pretty obvious that most if not all of the others are also intoxicated just not as far along as Mr.Dew.
Also take into consideration that this happened in Baltimore which is known to have some uh upstanding citizens in certain neighborhoods.I think people are people some are good some are bad and many are in between when which ever suits them best so to speak.
I would agree that it was not a hate crime but more an idiot crime;a bunch of "liquid courage" people taking advantage of a dude that was out of place and obviously had no "allies" with him who ever his "friends" are those are the ones I personally would be most upset with because they obviously left the guy in a dangerous state.A good friend would never just leave a very drunk friend to their own devices in the middle of a large city.
I feel any person who thinks that all people are intrinsically bad or intrinsically good is heading towards folly humans are far too complex for such black and white notions obviously the human race survived some how and that fact alone should tell you something. Further more the media always focuses on the bad stories not the good ones many good things are done by people that never get much if any attention at all beyond the persons involved.I can absolutely guarantee you many people in a state such as Mr.Dew had nothing bad happen to them because someone came along and helped them in fact that probably happens more often than what happened to Mr.Dew.
Still the people that left Mr.Dew behind are the ones who should hang their heads lowest I think Mr.Dew now knows that some people he thought of as friends are not such good ones.I do not know about others but I have never ever left a drunken friend behind.
