22. Right you are alph227

This has nothing to do whatsoever with the race of either parties. These punks chose this guy because he was vulnerable (drunk). This is not a "race" issue - it's a humanity issue. I doubt seriously that this is the video mugging punk's first crime or charge and he is from Baltimore County - not the city. I live here. There is more black on black crime here than anything. Why? Generally (not always)because of drugs and those who deal them, an argument over drug sales turf, a drug deal gone bad. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of white drug buyers - they come down from Pennsylvania and Westminster.
