St Louis authorities DENY that deadly hammer attack on Bosnian immigrant was racist ...as third suspect is charged with murder

Zemir Begic, 32, was surrounded by a group of teens wielding hammers
The juveniles struck his car before Begic stepped out and was beaten
He suffered damage to his head, abdomen and face and was taken to St Louis University Hospital, where he later died
His wife says he pulled her out the way so he would be beaten
St Louis police detained three suspects aged 15, 16 and 17
Robert Mitchell, 17, turned himself in Sunday and is being charged as adult with first-degree murder
Police said Begic was not targeted for being Bosnian and did not say if there was a connection to unrest after Ferguson grand jury decision

Remember kids, it's only racist if you're white.
 
No, it is racist both ways for sure. (I know you were being tongue in cheek though.)

But honestly, these people should be sharing a cell with the killers of Trayvon, Michael and Tamir.
All things being equal. Unfortunately though, they aren't and these guys will rightfully get jailtime while Zimmerman is free to bash his girlfriend (which did happen after he somehow dodged his murder charge.)

(Just the way I see it.)

Hold on a second there, my friend...George Zimmerman was acquitted in a jury trial, the St. Louis Co. grand jury found insufficient evidence to charge now-former Ofc. Darren Wilson of anything and there's still an investigation into what happened up in Cleveland, so don't link those incidents w/what happened here. Hopefully, those thugs who killed Mr. Begic - and yes, I called the perps there thugs 'cause that's what they are - will do prison time...but to link them to the others is an equal injustice.
