Deathtroit / Detroit: 16-year-old accused in mob beating motivated in part by race, source says (Moral of story? 1. Race crimes are only charged in black-on-White attacks if the perpetrator is clueless enough to later 'mention' it; 2. What for Whites would be a vicious 'hate crime,' for blacks is 'ethnic intimidation.'

16-year-old accused in mob beating motivated in part by race, source says

Detroit — When investigators interrogated a 16-year-old about his alleged participation in last week’s mob beating of a Clinton Township motorist, he said he did it in part because the man was white, according to a police source familiar with the case

.

The teenager was the only suspect questioned in connection with the April 2 beating of Steven Utash who mentioned race as a motivator, the source said, which is why he was charged Thursday with ethnic intimidation, along with assault to do great bodily harm. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy charged the youth as a juvenile.

The police source said the four other men arrested in the case told investigators they beat Utash because they were angry he hit 10-year-old David Harris with his truck after the youth darted into traffic near Morang and Balfour on the city’s east side.

Following the accident, for which police said Utash was not at fault, a mob began kicking and beating the 54-year-old until retired nurse Deborah Hughes intervened. Utash remains in a medically induced coma in St. John Hospital.

Worthy said the 16-year-old is being held in the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Center. He is scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. Saturday.

“As in all cases with multiple defendants we must evaluate each person’s actions individually to assess their alleged criminal conduct,” Worthy said. “In the case of the 16-year-old charged as a juvenile, we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt the crimes of assault with intent to do great bodily harm and ethnic intimidation.

“In the case of the four adult defendants that have been charged, the facts and the evidence does not support a charge of ethnic intimidation,” Worthy said. “We know there were numerous people involved in this case and the police are continuing to investigate, so I will not comment any further about the case. . . .”

     Right, a mob of blacks instantly appears out of nowhere, as one witness stated, and tries to kill this White guy who was trying to help a kid that (purposely) darted out in front of him, but only one of them had any racial motivation.
