Is it a hate crime or not? Ralph Weems, who is white, was warned by a black man that the area near a West Point, Mississippi Waffle House was not safe because of Michael Brown and the events in Ferguson, Missouri. Later that night he was beaten to near death, suffering brain damage and now in a coma, by a group of black men. One arrest so far, 22 year old Courtez McMillian. Despite these circumstances, West Point Police Chief Tim Brinkley, who is black, says there is no evidence of this being a hate crime. No evidence? Really? What do you think?

By Leo Homann WND Police are investigating a brutal beating at a Mississippi restaurant that some are calling revenge for the killing of black teen Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. A verbal alternation between two white men and up to seven black men began at a West Point, Mississippi, Waffle House shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday. The restaurant’s management warned the two groups to “take it outside” and the two whites, Ralph Weems and David Knighten, left the scene after words were exchanged. About an hour later, the men stopped at a Huddle House restaurant and realized they had been followed by “about 20 people,” according to a local TV station. The verbal confrontation resumed and, this time, it turned violent. When police arrived at the Huddle House about 2:10 a.m., they found Weems, a 32-year-old former Marine, lying in the parking lot severely beaten. Two men were bent over Weems trying to render aid, police said, but all of the beating suspects were gone. Weems was airlifted to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo where he underwent emergency brain surgery, according to a family member, and was put into a medically induced coma.
