This was a black on white crime. If it had been a white on black crime, not only would we condemn the attack, we would condemn the silence.

With no evidence of any hoax, we can demand no less of African-Americans. Anything less, and blacks forfeit the moral high ground that is any minority group’s most potent weapon.

We’d question the morals, character and upbringing not only of the thugs, but of the residents in the community that sheltered them. We’d demand that the good people in the neighborhood step up to stamp out bigotry.

Almost as disturbing as the attack itself is the reason Milligan’s family thinks spurred the beating: He was dating a young lady who is black

Surprisingly that they haven't charged Brian Milligan with "race baiting."

This incident will die on the vine just like this one:
ANY ONE OF US COULD BE THE PARENT OF THESE CHILDREN. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS? SPEAK OUT NOW FOR YOUR CHILDREN! FIGHT FOR JUSTICE!
