In 18 of the researched incidents, black people were confirmed as the perpetrators. Many were arrested and charged with crimes, and some of those were sentenced to time in jail.

In another 15 of the incidents, race wasn’t given, and there are no photographs available of the accused assailants. In some of these cases, the suspects were never caught.

In the other four incidents, race was given and the perpetrator or perpetrators were white, Hispanic, and/or Indian.

Again, I think we should simply focus on stopping random, violent attacks regardless of the race of the perpetrators and/or the victims. For some reason, many DUers seem to want to rush to inject race into this issue.
