White Man Shoots A Black Man Then Drags Him For 10 Miles And South Carolina Is Deciding If It’s A Hate Crime

[웃 910]

First Arizona and now South Carolina. Anthony Hill, 30, was shot in the head by Gregory Collins, 19 year-old white male. Then Collins attached Hill to the back of his truck and dragged him for 10 miles… What is really going on in this world???

Newberry County deputies say a man found dead Wednesday morning had been shot in the head and dragged behind a pickup truck, and they’re now investigating to see if this could be a hate crime.

Sheriff Lee Foster identified the victim as 30-year-old Anthony Hill of Winnsboro at a Wednesday afternoon news conference with State Law Enforcement Division Director Reggie Lloyd.

The coroner concluded that Hill died from the gunshot wound.

Earlier in the day, deputies announced they’d arrested 19-year-old Gregory Ashton Collins in connection with the killing and charged him with murder.

Foster and Lloyd say they are investigating the possibility that the incident could be a hate crime. Hill is black, while Collins is white.

The FBI is assisting in the investigation.

“We’re acting with an abundance of caution, and we’re looking at that as one avenue,” Foster said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a hate crime, or that it will be judged a hate crime, or that it willl be judged a hate crime in the end. We want to go ahead while we’re doing the investigation to have a joint investigation with the FBI, who has jurisdiction over hate crimes.”

Not all white-on-black crimes are 'hate crimes'. It's possible the guy's race had nothing to do with it.

[Pooky 3,348]

Likelihood 99.99%

Possibility it's not 0.01% (if that)

Reasons for caution? Declare it a hate crime and get it wrong, you risk prejudicing his trial and letting him get off lightly. Make sure of the case, then hit him with everything. Do it right and put this scum away for good.

White power, go to hell.

are you assuming he's part of some white power movement by his appearance?

Poor man. May justice be served.

Pretty simple really. If it is a white man that did it to a black man then it is a hate crime. If a black man did it to a white man then it is NOT a hate crime.

Pretty simple really. If you open your mouth, idiocy is bound to spill out.

No need to assume, just look at the guy. He looks like a dumb #### who I would do something like that.

Murder is EVIL

Hate is hate.

He killed the man then drug his body for 10 miles.

I would think there was hatred and evil behind this crime but that is only 100% known between god and this guy that murdered someone.

Hate crimes come from all races toward all races not just white vs all others. So the person who does not believe that is truly living in a fantasy world.

also to the OP; AZ has many things going on an liberal media will play any card needed to create anymosity towards their opponents. There are many states where there are similar issues.

This doesn't mean that the School Admin is correct or the councilman is wrong. The mural was made by the people of the community and the children attending the school were supposedly in it.

The mural in itself does cause alot of skeptism in the AZ area now because of other issues that people say are racially motivated.

I believe the mural should stand if they were given permission to put it up; also if the mural does not correctly reflect the students then it should be changed.
