At Last! Hate Crime no Longer Taken Seriously

Or is it only BLACK hate-crime that is not taken seriously?

"Four black teenagers convicted in the racially charged beating of three white women on Halloween were sentenced to probation Friday. Punishment could have ranged up to confinement in a California Youth Authority lockup until age 25.

The sentences were handed down by Juvenile Court Judge Gibson Lee, who last week convicted nine teens - eight female and one male - of felony assault, with a hate-crime enhancement against all but one.

Note that some of the victims were seriously injured. Just that should have warranted some jail time.
