Hammer Attack Guilty, but...

Explain then, as from what I'm reading this thread is moaning that its double standards that an asian on white attack, with no mention of the guys being done for racially motivated assault is reported without mentioning race but a white on asian racially motivated assault is reported mentioning race.
No, that isn't what this thread is about.
White on asian attack is by default racially motivated.
Asian on white attack is not.
Those are the double standards being complained about.

It would be racially motivated in any case, if it was actually brought up in court.
If you want to be pedantic, this was a gingerist, hightist, fatist, Rugbyist attack, see the Guardian article:

My mistake, I misread it as 'battered to death'.He didnt die, but yes, I feel sorry for the family
No mention of racially motivated attack anywhere; so no double standards at all. If it had been racially motivated and not on the front page then yes, but not in this case.
Move along, nothing other than another story of young people attacking another...
That WOULD be a racially motivated assault! You would have picked your victim based on their race :/
No, you misunderstood it.
I was referring to it as they're race just as a victim, not a target.
THat makes no sense.
Apologies, I see. You mean, if you had picked them for some other reason or arbitrarily. Still, I don't think it would necessarily have been portrayed as racist. Just my opinion.
If you went out specifically to beat up an asian man (random, not particular) with your two friends then it would be racially motivated.
THat makes no sense.
Ugh, nevermind then, it isnt hard to understand =/

Hi there, i was a pupil of the school where this happened, i know for a fact that this was a racially motivated attack. Although I clearly understand your point, as the media don't make it very clear as to the reasons behind it.
Have you been to give evidence or been asked questions if you know this for a fact?
