Guess The Outcome

A white schoolboy left for dead by a hammer-wielding gang of Asians has insisted the attack was racially motivated. Fifteen-year-old Henry Webster was assaulted by a gang of 13 youths, one carrying a claw hammer, on a school tennis court in January 2007. The attackers were sentenced to only between eight months and eight years last year, but they would likely have got longer if the attack had been proven to be racist.

I wrote about this incident back when it happened, and I predicted then that there would be virtually no attention from the media or the authorities to the "racist" element, because the victim was white and the attackers Asian. Whether the attack was racist or not, something stinks here, and it's symptomatic of the entire media and legal attitude towards racism - it only ever goes one way.
