Heard this one this morning. Had a hard time finding it as you can guess. It will be buried and never spoken of again:

IN BRIEF / LOS ANGELES COUNTY / COMPTON
7 Gang Members Held in Beating of 2 Men

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

May 25, 2005

Seven known black gang members have been arrested on suspicion of beating and shouting racial slurs at two white men who had left the Compton courthouse, sheriff's officials said Tuesday.

The two, who are brothers, told deputies they were walking to their car Monday in a residential neighborhood when they were confronted by about 15 males shouting gang monikers and racial slurs, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. James Hellmold said. The brothers, ages 34 and 41, had cuts and bruises around their head, face and arms, and one said he was hit on the back of his head with a blunt instrument, Hellmold said.

That's it. The whole story. What do you think the press would do if it was two black brothers and 15 white males?

It would be national news.
