A Bronx man was viciously assaulted and robbed on a subway train Sunday by four men who he says taunted him for being white.
"People started saying stupid little comments - cracker this, white boy this, f----t this," Fordell said. "I told them the only reason they were saying this is there was four of them and one of me."
The case is being investigated by detectives, but has not been assigned to the NYPD hate crimes task force because cops are unsure if the suspects were motivated by bias, sources said.
"They have to look at whether that was the motivation before the robbery," a police source said.

It wouldn't be the first hate crime against a white successfully prosecuted. I support (US, not Euro-free-speech-restrictions) hate crime legislation; hate crime is terrorism and requires more severe action. If the accused are members of a white-hate group or white-hate literature is discovered in their background (that's the investigation required, Vic), nail the damn terrorists.
Meh I got beaten up once in a race riot in Brooklyn.
:lamo Terrorism, really? What, exactly, makes someone a terrorist if they punch a black guy and call him a nigger rather than if they just punch him?
I don't like "Hate crime" legislation as a general rule. A crime is a crime is a crime. However, here is a case that common sense says "Yeah, race mattered here". Sad really this requires "investigation"
Read the story, it was a robbery, he then chased the gang and got a beatdown...
Actually, he got beat up on the train, robbed, then chased after them and got beat again.
The emo kid, chose poorly. :lol:
Me and about 10 of my friends took a shortcut up broadway to the GWB cause the Henry hudson was jammed..... well it was jammed because we ended up driving through the Washington heights riots...
we were in early 70's jeeps with no tops and windshields folded down... :shock:
He's dumb for talking back to them. That's all I really have to add to this race bait.

One CC permit and a nice load of 9 or so 9mm hydroshok rounds would have ended that confrontation immediately. It would have also put 4 racist thugs where they belong, laying on the ground in a puddle of blood. I promise if 4 people come at me that is AUTOMATICALLY self defense for fear of death and deadly force will be used. Without a second of hesitation because I may not have a second.

Same rule would apply for a black man with 4 white dudes, hispanic dude with 4 blacks, doesn't matter. 4 on 1 isn't a fight, it's survival.
What do you mean, "sadly"? Are you asking for a summary verdict here without knowing the facts of what happened? Your argument is weak.
Hate crime laws would apply just as equally to this case as it would any other if the facts stick.
But I guess burden of proof and "innocent until proven guilty" don't matter to you.
If you have a gun, what stops them from also having gunS?
If everyone has a gun, then you're not the superior force anymore.. thus negating your bravado above. If no one has a gun, then the play field is once again even... but with far less chance of someone dying.
Exactly. I'm always dumbfounded how some pretend that having a gun gives you immunity in a crime. Guess what? People with guns get killed too.If you have a gun, what stops them from also having gunS?
