I don't think the story is so clear cut... (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) | The Angy Asian Man site has been following this pretty well:
"What I found odd about this story is that the racist attack where the Asian couple was urinated upon and called racial slurs by the two White U of M students has been called into question. "
Well the stories are widely divergent, here's the tale from one of the suspects:
http://www.michigandaily.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/09/26/433793c716f81?in_archive=1
"There were TWO victims, there were several witnesses who saw and heard the whole thing, and one of the suspects actually fought the Ann Arbor Police!"
I read that one of the suspects, wanting to avoid getting cited for underage drinking, had refused to come out of his room when the police arrived, however I have not read of any reports where he fought with police. (Refusing to come out of your room is not fighting with police..) He apparently turned himself in later. I have also read of witness reports supporting the suspects (one of the supporting witnesses for the suspects is from India) I did read a report where a parking lot attendant saw one of the suspects leaning on the railing but did see him urinate.
Also this blog has been following the event:
http://umichstopthehate.blogspot.com/
"This is why Asian Americans -- and other minorities -- are discouraged from bringing hate crimes and hate incidents to people's attention. If people aren't going to believe you in a situation like this, when are they going to believe you?"
I certainly hope you don't mean Asians and other minorities should not report hate crimes (or any other crimes) to the police. It does look as if the Ann Arbor police reacted quickly. |
