Man Beaten By Mob In Detroit After Hitting Boy With Truck: Was It A Hate Crime?

[FrodosPet]

OK, it is terrible that the poor man got beat down and robbed.

But to call it a hate crime? Reality Check: White people are the perpetrators of racism, NOT the victims of it.

So, NO, people - this is not a hate crime the way Trayvon Martin or Matthew Shepherd is. It was a horrible, tragic robbery. but the usual suspects are going to try to make it something it is not, so be prepared.

As a 54-year-old Roseville man clings to life in the hospital following a brutal mob beating on Detroit’s east side, many are starting to wonder if the whole thing was racially motivated.

As first reported by WWJ Newsradio 950, an 11-year-old boy suffered a broken leg on Wednesday when he was hit by a pickup truck after walking into the street near Morang and Balfour. The driver, Steven Utash, immediately got out of his truck after hitting the boy and was viciously attacked by 10 to 12 men. The beating was so brutal, Utash was rendered unconscious.

Utash’s son Joseph told WWJ’s Gary Lundy Thursday night that his father remains in a medically induced coma, nearly unrecognizable due to his injuries. He also said his wallet was stolen from his truck.

“I’ve talked to one Detroit police officer and I think that, personally in my own heart, I think it was all a setup from the gate,” he said, ”meaning that my dad’s been driving up and down Morang for 15, 16 years working for the same company and they know he has a job, they know he has money and they robbed him. You know, he had a bag with all his stuff in it. He showed me that he had all this money in his wallet that morning, telling me he just took the money out of the bank so he could pay his dentist.
