A viral video showing the beating of a 13-year-old white boy by three African-American youths in Florida has left hundreds of thousands of viewers horrified, but critics say the case doesn't seem to be attracting much sympathy from self-styled civil rights activists. In the chilling video, three 15-year-old boys repeatedly beat and kick a victim police said was left with a broken arm and two black eyes.

There is already a long, and pretty disgustingly racist thread on this already.
But to make a long story short, these three were promptly arrested and charged with crimes. That is the ENTIRE difference between this event the other Florida event that I'm sure you are talking about where someone was killed and the killer was not arrested, not charged, and not even investigated.
Do you see the difference?
The attack took place July 9 in the St. Petersburg-area community of Gulfport. But the horrific cell phone and surveillance video only came out only recently. Police say the three youths, all African-American, attacked the boy after he told officials at their dropout prevention school that one of them had tried to sell him marijuana.

This is 3 thugs beating up someone that reported them for selling drugs.
Race was not a factor.
And wasn't this already posted on this site?

Reverse the roles and you'd have Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson shouting hate crime
