Teen Charged In Murder Used Racial Slurs, Police Say
This just sickens me that things like this STILL happen today! This is exactly the type of bigotry and intolerance bred by the current regime and it's pointy-headed sycophants!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A teenager accused of killing a man allegedly bragged about the murder because the victim was black, KMBC's Maria Antonia reported.

Gary Eye, 18, was taken into custody Wednesday at a halfway house. He's charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of William McCay, 44, at 9th Street and Brighton Avenue on March 9. McCay was walking to work when he was shot.

Investigators said when Eye bragged about the shooting, he used derogatory speech about blacks. Eye allegedly said: "The (expletive) was walking in my hood, on my time, this is my world and you (expletive) are just living in it ... I will kill every (expletive) on 9th Street."

During 2003, 11,909 law enforcement agencies provided the UCR Program with 1 to 12 months of hate crime reports. Of those agencies, 1,967 agencies (16.5 percent) reported 7,489 hate crime incidents involving 8,715 offenses, 9,100 victims, and 6,934 known offenders. (See Tables 1 and 12.)

By Bias Motivation
Racial bias motivated more than half (52.5 percent) of the 8,706 single-bias hate crime offenses reported in 2003. Religious bias and sexual-orientation bias each accounted for 16.4 percent of all reported single-bias hate crimes reported. Ethnicity/national origin bias prompted 14.2 percent of offenses, and disability bias spurred 0.5 percent of bias-motivated offenses.

2. It's only going to get worse...
...as conditions change, and hatred of the "other" becomes increasingly acceptable and excused by the government and the MSM. Remember, economic factors precipitated Hitlers rise to complete power. For a couple years, he was just an extremist jackass in charge of Germany's executive.

It can happen here.
