If that does not sound like a Hitler or “white power” move I don't know what is. That could easily be justified in court as an act upon a person based on discrimination tying it to the rape case, which it seems, was racially motivated and dismiss because of class issues, i.e. The thought that oh she’s just some stripper, this woman is afraid to even stay in her home because of death threats to her and her children. I am sorry but that just got close to my skin when you said the news is getting boring like these people’s lives is a form of entertainment for you. I will just chock that comment up to being a joke. That is how you meant it right?

Yes, it wasn't something to be taken seriously as you guessed.
I don't think assaulting a gay man is asking to a "White power" move but that's because being gay is not a race. If reputations and past history are going to be used for the defendant than what could be said of the woman being a stripper and her sexual history? I mean a Catholic priest who does so much good and is close to the lord is in the news for molesting kids - his reputation didn't tie in that case.
And while most of these events are sad and tragic, I think we follow them as a form of entertainment. I don't know what else to call it but that's just semantics. That's why the media will talk about something more in the news over other stories. It sells right?
But I'm wondering one thing though. Let's say that they prove that these kids didn't rape her. What then? Who will pay for the damage done to them?
