The United States Congress wanted intervention in a racially-motivated beating doled out by six students to one. Yet, none of them were calling for the U.S. Attorney General to file federal hate crime charges against the six - they wanted the six exonerated because they were black and the victim white.

If the victim had died, this would be called a lynching.

Illinois' favorite son *COUGH* Jesse Jackson just can't seem to keep his nose out of affairs that really ARE NOT HIS BUSINESS.
