There are hundreds of reasons why a group of people decided to attack a person.
There are plenty of cases where serious assaults don't make the national papers. I know of at least 5 cases in the last year in the area where I work that have resulted in serious permanent injury and could very easiy of been murder that haven't been reported anywhere except the local rag. |
I think the whole point of trevortt's initial post was that it appears most of the main stream press did not report this story, racist or not, (I feel, as has been said, if it were 5 whites beating up on an Asian or black it would be in most papers and local TV news).
IMO this is censorship, in the same way that when attacks on whites by asian or blacks are reported, very rarely is the ethnicity of the perp reported. When whites attack ethnics it is nearly always reported as such and made out by the authorities to be a racial attack.
Been there, suffered that.
