17-year-old Ali Kamara was beaten with a baseball bat after Barack Obama was elected president. The assailants were shouting "Obama."

1. If this is on the "up and up"...I hope they catch the sons-of-bitches...
...and tan their hides good.

This hate that persists in our country has got to be dealt with. Skin head mentality. Hitler would be proud of these thugs.

Racism seems to be alive and well there.

7. ...
I am not saying there aren't any racists on Staten Island...

But SI is like the black sheep of NYC, historically always voting Republican, for the most part at least. They voted for Bush in 04.

But I hope they find the bastards!

8. We did come close though.
Recent Presidential Elections in Staten Island, so it's not always GOP there.

2008:
McCain: 80,000 52%
Obama: 73,000 47%

2004:
Bush: 90,000 56%
Kerry: 68,000 42%

2000:
Gore: 73,000 52%
Bush: 63,000 45%

1996:
Clinton: 64,000 50%
Dole: 52,000 40%

This year in the House race on SI, the Democrats (Mike McMahon) beat the GOP 60% to 33%.

In 2005, 44.7% of the borough's registered voters were registered Democrats and 30.6% were registered Republicans (although I admit many of the registered dems are DINOs)

9. That stupid backwards B girl's hoax goes immediately viral and swamps the entire media within hours
but this real hate crime won't get any attention. shows you how things work when the hues are reversed....

11. Yup. White girl = news at 11, Black boy = *crickets*
That poor guy. I gotta say though, he's lucky they didn't kill him - baseball bats can do massive damage to a skull. Looks like they hit him in the legs because he had a severe limp.

Glad to hear the FBI is looking into the crime.

12. Where's the NATIONWIDE press coverage on this?
huh? when the B-Girl HOAX happened - they were all over it within an HOUR.


when this legitimate story happens (real bruises and hospital reports to back it up)
- nothing - just some local coverage. man...........
