23. So you dont think that criminals look for easy targets?

I don't know if the guy was drunk, ill, etc - but it certainly seems reasonable to think these attackers saw someone they thought would be easy to target.

In all of the responses, I still have not seen ANY evidence to suggest this was a hate crime. If someone has a recording of them talking about targeting him because he was white, then I'll listen. But just because its black-on-white doesn't make it a hate crime, unless you want to argue that ALL crimes involving people of different races are hate crimes.
