Girl Beaten On Campus Because She Supports Sarah Palin?
No arrests have been made yet, and we should be cautious given that previous stories like this have turned out to be hoaxes, but if this is true it’s sickening:
An Augsburg College student and Sarah Palin supporter from Alaska was beaten on election night while walking to her dorm and was called a racist by a group of four young women because she had on a McCain/Palin presidential campaign button, authorities and the victim said.
Annie Grossmann, a freshman on the Minneapolis college’s hockey team, suffered blurred vision and is thought to have had a concussion from a punch in the eye, but declined medical attention, she said.
Through her mother, Grossmann, 18, of Delta Junction, reported the assault to campus security the next morning, and Minneapolis police were notified that afternoon. No arrests have been made.
For the record, if this were a gang of white girls beating up a black girl we’d be talking “hate crime.” But four black girls beating up a white girl? Not the same thing, according to the definitions foisted upon us by the PC crowd.
Though why one beating should be considered more hateful than another is beyond me.
