Why No Arrests Made in Racial Attack on Girl?
After reading the story “Beaten Girl Haunted by Scars, Memory of Attack (Aug. 20),” I was furious. Once again, a racial incident in Orange County is handled as if unimportant, and insignificant. Why is this?
Blacks pay taxes in Orange County, we hold respectable jobs, we live in decent homes, but yet are still treated as second-class citizens. Can anyone answer why? What must we prove to society? Our boys go off to war just as whites, we fear just as whites, and we feel pain and hurt--just as whites.
Whether the attack was racist-based or not, a 15-year-old child was nearly beaten to death. Why haven’t arrests been made?
