This guy punches out a 79 year old man and deserves what I hope is coming to him; this was a despicable thing to do.
Washington Times "The Obama administration filed a federal hate-crimes charge Thursday against a man whom authorities accused of using the “knockout game” to target a black man, videotaping it, and then bragging about the assault to strangers.
"The charge marks the first time the administration has taken action on a “knockout” case after the game became an Internet and media phenomenon. It chose a case in which the person accused is white, even though most other cases reported in the news have involved black assailants.
"In this case, the man accused is 27-year-old Conrad Alvin Barrett, who the Justice Department says attacked a 79-year-old black man in Fulshear, Texas, just west of Houston. Justice Department officials said they brought the case to make a point about hate crimes."...
But what about the many incidents of the reverse? I appreciate these remarks by Al Sharpton (of all people!) who for once seems to fill the role that we hope to see from African-American leaders.
