What about Federal law? Weren't civil rights of the young man violated? Couldn't this be construed as a hate crime? The left is very quick to do just that to anyone who hurts their feelings. Eric Holder went after every LEO involved in any altercation, with someone of color. Maybe it's time we turn the tables on these lunatics.
Why hasn't the ACLU stepped up to defend this kid's rights? Oh yeah.. It's a white kid in Texas, who supports Trump.

Let's see. If a large white man with multiple prior convictions assaulted a group of black children and stole their Obama hat telling them that he was going to burn it, it would most definitely have been prosecuted as a hate crime.

This is the exact same situation, except that the races are reversed, so clearly this is not a hate crime in any way. But you sir have probably committed a hate crime for even suggesting such a thing!

Another interesting thing was reading the comments on the news pages....local Hispanics saying that they were proud to have voted for Trump and they were calling out others who were backing up the "bad guy" saying the kid "shouldn't have worn the hat in a heavily minority city".

I hope someone pointed out that this is exactly like saying that a black kid should not be walking around in a white neighborhood.

People need to learn that other folks will occasionally disagree with them on a variety of topics. Some folks can't control their emotions or their actions when they encounter someone who believes differently than they do. Those folks belong in prison.

And to the post up thread, I agree that shooting this scumbag would have been a bad idea. But it is a reminder for why we should always be armed. There is no way to foresee exactly how things might have escalated if someone had done the right thing and tried to prevent this criminal from fleeing the scene.

If he keeps assaulting children, prosecution may be the least of his worries.
