Because it didn’t fit the narrative.
Regardless of however the George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin case turns out, the fact remains that racial inspired violence against Whites does in fact exist, and it doesn’t bring the mobs into the streets demanding vigilante ‘justice’. The justice system is allowed to work and the people remain hopeful for an agreeable verdict.
We did not see Whites rioting in the streets when O.J.Simpson was found not guilty for the double homicide of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Instead, people expressed their shock and amazement over the verdict and stated that justice wasn’t served.
The main issue here, for me, is the counterproductive policy of naming certain crimes as ”hate crimes”, which are as counterproductive as ”hate speech” laws. Such laws places the government as sole arbitrator on what is free (protected) speech and what is not, and the policy of distinguishing ”hate crimes” only further balkanizes society, into ”us and them”, instead of ”we the people”.
You can safely bet that most of these ridiculous laws are the brainchild of the Left, who are infatuated with race, sex and class warfare, and use them to manipulate the weary public.
Seattle Times, Sept 22nd 2010
DNA recently linked Ahmed Mohamed and Jonathan Baquiring to the attack in which a 16-year-old boy was robbed, taunted with racial insults, burned with a lit cigarette and punched repeatedly. Mohamed, 22, and Baquiring, 21, each were charged Monday with first-degree robbery and malicious harassment, the state’s hate-crime statute.
Baquiring was booked into the King County Jail just after 6 p.m. Tuesday, according to the booking register. His bail is set at $500,000.
Seattle police are still searching for Mohamed.
King County Deputy Prosecutor Samantha Kanner will also seek to have Mohamed held on $500,000 bail once he is arrested, according to charging papers.
The victim, Shane McClellan, said he was walking home around 2 a.m. when two men, whom he described as black and Filipino, asked him for a light.
He said the two men then robbed him and beat him for four hours, whipping him with his own belt while saying things like, “How do you like it, white boy?” and “This is for enslaving our people,” according to the police report.
McClellan, who is white, said the two men also poured Four Loko energy beer on him, burned him with a cigarette and urinated on him, police said.
Verdict on Somali immigrant Ahmed Mohamed

I suppose it was something of a victory for sanity and justice that a Somali immigrant was convicted of a hate crime against a white teenager, particularly since the victim was initially doubted by locals. After all, 16-year-old Shane McClellan (pictured) said he had been tortured for hours by two men who had shouted, “The white man has kept us down,” and “This is for enslaving our people.”
A crime like that runs counter to the liberal narrative. Immigrants are highly regarded as a victim group, incapable of racist hate, goes the stereotype.
On the contrary, Somalis residing in America have distinguished themselves as few others have for their extreme anti-social behavior, including gang crime, violent jihadism and constant demands for special treatment for their Islamic practices.
Local media struggled to frame the brutal crime in a way that would exonerate the convicted Somali perp. The Seattle Times chose the booze:
Seattle Times, January 21, 2011 The Four Loko made him do it.
Ahmed Mohamed, who was sentenced Friday to nearly six years in prison for the attack last year on a West Seattle teen, claimed the caffeine-infused energy beer he drank for the first time the night of the assault was partially to blame.
“He is extremely sorry he committed this act,” his attorney, Kevin McCabe, said in King County Superior Court. “It was Mr. Mohamed’s first experience with alcohol and an extremely unfortunate type of alcohol to have for your first run-in.”
First experience with alcohol? Not the first time that excuse has been used by a muslim defendant: He blames his own behaviour on his being immersed in immoral and decadent Western culture.

A judge sentenced Mohamed to 69 months in prison, almost six years, for robbery and malicious harassment with a firearm enhancement. She called the crime hateful, humiliating and senseless.
West Seattle Herald, January 4, 2011
In the plea deal, Mohamed wrote, “Specifically, I along with Jonathan Baquiring robbed Shane McClellan by stealing items from his pockets while threatening to cap [shoot] him, whipping him with his belt and burning him with cigarettes. We also displayed a knife with a several inch blade, held it to his neck and threatened to cut his throat. We targeted McClellan because he was a different race than we are.”
Mohamed continued, “… I inflicted bodily injury on Shane McClellan and … I was armed with a deadly weapon, specifically a knife and maliciously and intentionally because of my perception of his race, caused physical injury to Shane McClellan and placed Shane McClellan in reasonable fear of harm to his person and to his property.”
