Ethnic gang culture does not exist in a vacuum. It has theme music in a subset of rap.

I found a little hope in that the father police chief spoke out so strongly against his son. (Another version of that here @ The Hill for those who can't acess WaPo). In general about this attack, I think it behooves to know it came from a 16-yr. old and 18 yr. old, speaks of criminal activity that we used to label "juvie". So maybe it's time to use hate crime legislation for incidents like this to send a message to all "juvie" types out there that doing something like this will truly ruin your life and furthermore make everyone else in society look down on you. They got the message from a sub-culture somehow that it was okay to do this, as I doubt guys of that age got it from reading national news or listening to Trump speeches. They are imbibing this "permission" from somewhere else, perhaps ethnic gang culture, Facebook groups or whatever. So it's just as possible that such a culture be able to send the counter-message: that this is reviled loser activity. Dad gets this, it's brave and honorable of him to speak out as most parents would just shut up to protect their kid as bad as the kid might have gotten. The whole story makes me think more favorably towards the usefulness of hate crime legislation than I have in the past, it could be very useful with wayward teen culture.

On top of that stupidity, we have Fox’s Laura Ingraham openly calling for a white ethnostate

This after Tucker Carlson said that whites are not designed to live around immigrants.

The vicious attack appears to have been a robbery attempt. It is also being investigated as a hate crime.

The sophomore squad likes to make it about them, "I could say, my words, my name, I wonder..." and "my intention..sarcastically mock people who attach value.."

The what I have found in life section:

When people find solace or support in the words or actions of another, that is not "attaching value" it's appreciating the empathy of someone who exhibits some understanding and respects the difficult issues faced by you or your "group".

Don't mess with the ways people deal with their life or issues, as long as it works for them, and as long as they are not harming themselves or others. Best to respect what works to bring them some peace or hope.

And BTW, we now are now so pumped and divided by race/religion/ethnicity that a black police chiefs son brutally beat up an elderly Sikh in California. Who exactly is the Untermensch now and who's the master race, or is it a free for all against the "different"?

In reply to It mattered - of course it

Mentioning it didn’t seem a big deal. Celebrities are quoted as speaking for a segment of the population all of the time. LeBron James calls Trump a bum and it gets covered. Many people agreed with the statement. They don’t have the same clout to reach media.

She also played a wannabe

In reply to Interesting side discussion,

She also played a wannabe Chola and banged some gangbanger in one of her flicks. I think that gives her weight (or makes her exploitive? They could have cast a chicana to play the white chick gazing across the tracks...)

Back to reality, good that someone/anyone takes the time to speak out against hirrid cruelty. The more famous/well-connected, the farther it travels. Best if they have access to money and/or political pull so it's not quickly forgotten in our day-to-day.

(and yes, she nailed it, both the song and the tweet)

I love Les Mis and Hathaway.

In reply to "Les Mis", as it is

I love Les Mis and Hathaway. My intention wasn't to dis her but sarcastically mock those who attach value to a statement by people who are only famous for pretending really really good. And Anne Hathaway is one of the best at pretending as the video shows. Yay!

Another interesting side note, there's a whole internet hate group posting against Anne. I don't really know why. I read about it but don't follow that type of shit.
