Cops Now Scream ‘Hate Crime’ In Black-On-White Beating
Woman pulled from car, beaten by thugs who terrorize community
WND
Authorities in St. Louis now are saying they are investigating as a possible hate crime an attack that happened only miles from the Ferguson, Missouri, streets where violence has run rampant in the weeks and months since a white police officer shot and killed black, 290-pound teenager Michael Brown, who had tried to get the officer’s gun and apparently was in the act of charging at the officer.
WND had reported earlier on the hammer-beating death of Zemir Begic, 32, but police said at the time they were not viewing the situation as a hate crime, even though the head of the city’s Bosnian Chamber of Commerce, Sadik Kukic, told WND the community members have more than a little suspicion.
“In the last few weeks, there were several crimes against Bosnians,” Kukic told WND. “All the crimes were by the black community.”
Now there’s been a new attack – on a 26-year-old Bosnian-American woman who told police she was stopped by three black teens. According to a Fox News report one of the attackers had a gun, ordered the woman out of her car, after which she was beaten unconscious.
The report said the St. Louis police chief now is asking for the FBI’s help investigating “what he believes was a hate crime attack against a woman in the same Bosnian neighborhood where a man was beaten to death days earlier by hammer-wielding teens.”
According to the report, one of the attackers said, “You’re Bosnian. I should just kill you now.”
Police reported the woman was found later, unconscious, by a passerby.
So St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson moved to get the FBI involved.
“As of now, officers are investigating this incident as a bias crime based on the victim’s account of the incident,” the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said in an email Monday. “The investigation is ongoing.”
