Agree. The existence of hate crimes only serves to divide and worsen race relations. See this thread for example...one instance isn't labeled a hate crime and one side is pissed off. If it's labeled a hate crime the other side is pissed off.
Just label it a crime and be done with it.
1. I agree that the entire notion of hate crimes is ridiculous. For example, if somebody murders or beats another person, their crime isn't any more heinous because they did for racist reasons rather than for some other reason.
2. With that said, why would this be classified as a hate crime when you have black victims as well as white? When you reportedly had whites as well as blacks participating in the mob?

This kind of reminds me of the claims in Ferguson who said White Anarchists were the ones doing all of the damage -- yet none seemed to be caught on camera.
Similarly, none seemed to be caught on camera here, either.
I'll also wait until the official names of the victims are released (I've heard this trope before) -- if they are to be released. I know they're withholding the white victim (17 years old), but not his father.
