domestic terrorism

where's all the hate crime legislation when you really need it?
Akron police say they aren't ready to call it a hate crime...

Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family.

The Marshalls, who are white, say the crowd of teens who attacked them and two friends June 27 on Girard Street numbered close to 50. The teens were all black...

Marshall was the most seriously injured. He suffered a concussion and multiple bruises to his head and eye. He said he spent five nights in the critical care unit at Akron General Medical Center.

The construction worker said he now fears for his family's safety, and the thousands of dollars in medical bills he faces without insurance.

I don't remember where, but I read this story somewhere, with the races of those involved entirely reversed: A Black family in Akron attacked by 50 white youths, and saying the very same things.
What's going on!?
