(Note 12-23 11:30 a.m. A reader has just told me that all the readers’ comments at the CBS page have been removed. Fortunately I had copied most of them here yesterday. This is a further lesson that when we see something on the Web of an unusual nature, we should save or copy it.)
Also notice how the strongest expression of outrage quoted in the article is, “He didn’t deserve this”—as though there was any question that he deserved it—or as though, if David Muneton had intentionally hit a black girl with a basketball then he would have deserved being beaten to within an inch of his life.
Meanwhile, race is not mentioned, neither that of the victim nor that of the assailants. The gang are certainly black, from the all-too familiar pattern of their behavior. David Muneton from the photograph of him appears to be white. But, again, except for the silent testimony of that photo, his and his attackers’ race is a non-subject.
Thus, unidentified and unremarked on by law authorities and the media, the black anti-white intifida continues. The comments following the story deal frankly with the racial nature of the crime, showing once again that the closest the truth about racial violence in the modern West gets to the mainstream media is in readers’ comments posted after news articles. I have copied all the comments as of about an hour ago. They are strong and I have not edited them.

I’m sure the Lord of the Flies gang will get a little more than a ticket criminally speaking, but if I were the victim’s parents, I’d sue the parents of the attackers into bankruptcy. Absent that, I’d want the older kids tried as adults and the younger ones to spend considerable juvenile incarceration time as they appear to be only a few years away from prison being a permanent residence for them anyway. Animals.

Noticeable lack of reporting on whether there was a racial element to this story. What color were the attackers? Are there hate crime charges pending? Your job is to report straight news, not to edit it so it meets your worldview. No wonder the mainstream is falling on hard times.

I am saddened by this incident. The pain and suffering of this young man and his family. My heart goes out to the family. The questions. What led a group of young people to believe they were entitled to take action. I am trying to understand how you could physically hurt another person hitting him over and over. Wasn’t there anyone to step up for the boy? Didn’t any of the attackers feel anything? I have been increasingly concerned about our young adults. They are more intimidating in groups. Bad language is bolding spoken. Police don’t seams to move them along. They are impowered. Is it because they are in a group? I now cross the street. There is a different attitude. The sheer potential for such a violent act with no concern for the consequences. I want there to be a strong “message” sent. This is not acceptable.

This isn’t news. The attackers were obviously chronically dependent victims. Black youth who were issued a chip on their shoulder as a birth right. They aren’t fully evolved yet so their violent nature makes it impossible for them to fully assimilate into civilized society.

What is funny is that you didnt mention the racial identity of the attackers … Which automatically means they were minorities. We are not stupid. When you tell the story, tell the whole story—the title should have read—Lone White Teen Beaten to Near Death by Blacks. Sound offensive? How about having reconstructive facial surgery and possibly losing your sight? Which is more offensive? You people back east are sick! Smoke Weed Every Day!

Those students that are involved in the Muneton biting they are criminals they should stay in jail, they have no future outside. If the public allows these criminals to be released from jail, be prepared to what they will do next. Keep your eyes open you could be the next victim. It doesn’t matter if they children, teenagers or adults their actions were planed they were very conscious about the dangers and how bad they want to hit this school model young man. I feel very sorry for the all the parents but Muneton’s parents are in pain for their kid.

Poor kid.

Note: The CBS story by Christine Sloan has now been changed with the addition of the bolded text:
When I posted the entry two days ago, I explained that I assumed the attackers are black, because their behavior fits the classic black pattern of such attacks: deciding to get revenge on someone for some minor or illusory act of “disrespect,” often to a girlfriend, then ganging up on the lone defenseless individual and causing maximum damage to his head and face, for example by knocking him to the ground and then kicking him repeatedly in the head or hitting him repeating in the head with an object. In this case the victim, David Muneton, had committed the “disrespect” of hitting a girl with a basketball; she fingered Muneton as the one who had done it; and her boyfriend and his friends then proceeded to attack Muneton and break the bones of his face and perhaps blind him. Every time a crime like this occurs, it is blacks who do it, though Hispanics are sometimes also involved, as in the Central Park wilding in which a gang of black and Hispanic youth not only gang raped the victim but beat her repeatedly about the head and face. The aim of such attacks is not just to rob, rape, or kill; it is to degrade and obliterate the victim as a human being. The pattern of the attack, plus the
of Englewood, New Jersey, divided evenly between about 40 percent white and 40 percent black, led to the logical inference that the attackers were black. Since we live in a society where the media systematically withhold damaging information about blacks, in many cases the only way the truth can get out is through logical inferences based on the imperfect information available. However, I see from Wikipedia that the population of Englewood is also 20 percent Hispanic of any race. Therefore it might have been more cautious to guess that the attackers were “black and Hispanic,” and in the future I will do this. Note that Sloan while calling the pack “diverse” does not tell us what this diversity consists of. If there were whites in the pack, she would surely have said that, but she doesn’t. Therefore it is most likely a “diverse” pack of blacks and Hispanics.
As for the identification of David Muneton as Hispanic, in my initial posting of the entry I had declined to identify him by race, as I hadn’t noticed his photo in the story. When a reader pointed it out to me, I felt it was too underexposed to say for sure he was white. But a brighter version of the photo showed that, while of uncertain ethnicity, he had the rosy cheeks of a white person. So I identified him as white. His complexion marks him as Caucasian notwithstanding the “Hispanic” identifier. So what we have here most likely is a gang of blacks and at least one Hispanic who attacked a Caucasian Hispanic boy.
