    I know that if I had the sudden realization I had attended an MC Hammer concert, I'd want to tear shit up.

    This is the stupidest comment I have ever seen. Blaming a group of African-American randomly beating white people on the state government. You are sad.
    Oh, and I see some have not grown up and still want to throw "teabaggers" around. Just stop. It isn't funny.

    The worst thing about this story is the comments section. It is like a bunch of Klansmen got together on a message board. Post-racial my ass.

    This has been happening all summer. Water Parks. Fairs. Downtown shopping areas. McDonald's. Denny's. Malls. The aspect no one wants to talk about is the racial identity of the perps (some of the victims in these cases have been black as well). Is it frustration boiling over about the economy? The heat? I don't know. Does anyone?

    Nobody wants to talk about lawless black punks (allegedly, maybe hypothetically) running amuck? Turn on the radio, surf channels for 30 seconds, and you'll hear five people shrieking about it.

    Sorry, but the worst thing about the story is the behavior of the frustrated/deprived/misunderstood/down-and-out boys and girls of that city who decided to beat the shit out of people for kicks on a Thursday night.

    I really wonder how much of it is true or otherwise highly exaggerated. Our country has a history with overblowing "racially charged" crime and sometimes it leads to disastrous results.

    It would be nice to see a story on this written for a newspaper instead of a TV station.That was painful to read.

    There has been video of most of these incidents, if not all of them. The video isn't lying.

    I blame the victims.

    Are we really surprised that people demonstrate little respect for life or decency after they've spent the entire day munching deep-fried fat on a stick?
