re: White Kroger employee beaten by black mob determined not to be a hate crime.

and the shopper who was trying to tape them can be seen in the video I posted at the 20 mark is also clearly white.

You're right, and I thank you for pointing him out. In my previous viewings of that video I thought the person initially being chased was the white male employee who was beaten unconscious. That video at the 20 second mark does show a white guy getting chased into the store. I think you're also right that this is the guy who thought he was talking a flash mob and got chased into the store.

I'm not sure where you came up with 5 victims. I count 4:

1. One white male chased into the store who was uninjured: (this is the guy you identified in the video)

(Victim, Not Identified) “I had run clear in through the door. I was at the fruit aisle. And I turned back to see if they were still following me. So immediately I pulled out my phone and called 911. “

Thankfully, he was not injured but when he watched the video on Facebook he was extremely frustrated.

2. One white male employee beaten into unconsciousness. This man is plainly seen in the video at the entrance to the store.

3. One black male employee also apparently knocked unconscious:

Two employees, ages 17 and 18, were attacked while trying to stop the fight. Both were "struck several times in the head and face while being knocked to the ground". The victims say large pumpkins were thrown at their heads. They both were eventually knocked unconscious.

This article doesn't reference the race of either of the two attacked teens, but:

News Channel 3 slowed down the video and noticed the security guard is dragging a black teen away from the crowd.

The witness identified that teen as another Kroger employee knocked unconscious after he tried to stop the mob from attacking customers.

This is the guy seen at the ~56s mark of the video of the attack.

4. One black woman who seems to have escaped bodily injury when she drove away.

There's a list of 4 victims to the mob attack. Two of whom escaped without injury (one white, one black). Two of whom were beaten into unconsciousness (one white, one black).

There are your facts. That's what you have to work with here.
