Teenager shoots at cars while shouting ‘I don’t like white people in my hood’, police say
An armed black man attempts to murder white people in a car while shouting, “I don’t like white people in my hood”.
He’s charged with four felony counts of assault, but not a hate crime.
It works both ways. If you’re going to charge a white person with a hate crime who attempts to murder black people because they’re in their white neighborhood, then it’s a hate crime when the black person attempts to murder white people because they’re in their black neighborhood.
The hypocrisy is astounding. Only blacks are allowed to get away with hate crimes. Prejudicial preference in play here.

ADD-ON: Eighteen years old is his age, which means he’s an adult. The title suggests that this black man is a child. Most people’s minds differentiate between child and adult. The teenage category includes both, so the choice of word by The Independent News was manipulative in favor of the shooter, because he was black. Devonta Allen is his name – that law enforcement released his name proves his adult status.
The Independent News in United Kingdom picked up the story. It happened in Cincinnati, Ohio. Then, Yahoo news picked the story up from the UK. Why didn’t the USA run the story? I live in Cleveland, Ohio. I didn’t hear or see it till this morning. It happened on 25 July 2019.
It appears, at least with this story, that the USA media outlets prefer to turn a blind eye to black on white crime. That’s discrimination.
