I am sure that if the victim and perps were exchanged (skin color) we would be hearing from every race baiting outfit in the world how this is a HATE CRIME and demanding the heads of the White perps. But, this is not the case - the victim was/is White and the perps another color so the MSM is keeping a rather low profile and so are the race baiting goons who usually are all over the place. Where is Obama? Why isn't he calling for a BEER SUMMIT to resolve this issue? Where is the ACLU - the SPLC - NAACP - why those folks must be suffering from color blindness and lost their vocal chords in the process.....
Someday it will be discovered that HATE is in the HEART - not the SKIN COLOR.
The father of the teen who was brutally beaten in West Seattle last week is outraged by the investigators' release two men suspected in the case.
Detectives said they collected DNA samples from two men they found roaming the streets in the minutes after the beating of 16-year-old Shane McClellan. They swabbed blood that'd dried on the men's hands to compare the samples with the DNA samples found at the crime scene, detectives said.
With DNA test results pending, police released the two unidentified men due to a lack of a full physical description. But the victim's father, Tim Mcclellan, can't make sense of the investigators' logic.
"I'm furious, because these guys were walking around literally with my son's blood on their hands," said the father. "It seemed like they had enough evidence. They found these guys in minutes. What more do you need, a smoking gun?"
Shane McClellan was found walking near 17th Avenue Southwest and Southwest Kenyon Street, beaten and bloodied, just before 7 a.m. on May 25. The teen had a "broken nose and possibly other internal injuries," according to the police report.
Detectives said McClellan "was dazed, his face and hands and shirt were covered in blood," and "his face, ears, head and back were swollen."
McClellan told investigators he ran into trouble while walking near 14th Avenue Southwest and Southwest Holdent Street around 2 a.m. He said two men in their 20s standing at the top of a nearby set of stairs asked him for a light. When he approached them to oblige, the two men surrounded him and began reaching into his pockets, the teen told investigators.
The teen said he tried to push them off and run, but the pair "began hitting him with their fists and dragging him up the stairs," the police document said.
The attackers took the teen's "Memorex touch screen MP3 player, $27 and change, his black puffy coat and his belt," according to investigators.
McClellan said his attackers then dragged him to an area where 14th Ave.nue Southwest dead-ends just south of Southwest Holden Street and continued to beat him for hours, until approximately 6:15 a.m. when they finally left, the document said.
"They continued to beat him with their fist and feet," "whipped him with his own belt and burned him with lit cigarettes," and "poured energy beer on him" and "urinated on him," McClellan told detectives.
Throughout the assault, the two men made claims like "the white man has kept us down," "how do you like it, white boy," and "this is for enslaving our people."
The two men took turns switching between beating him and taking smoke breaks, McClellan said, and when he made any noise, one of the men "brandished a folding knife toward him and threatened to 'slit his throat if he kept screaming,'" according to the statement. The pair also threatened to kill him several times, McClellan said.
At one point, the men pushed McClellan's head into the ground, kicked him and the teen "felt something hard pressed against the back of his head, and he was told not to look up or they would 'cap' him in the head," he told investigators.
When he was sure his attackers had left, McClellan got up and began walking down the street. He was spotted by passers-by a short time later.
Police responded to the scene and found "blood smears" and several fresh cigarette butts, which they took in as evidence for DNA sampling. They also collected several untarnished coins and an empty can of "FOUR loko" energy beer, detectives said.
While heading to the precinct, a detective ran into two men who men who matched the general description of the attackers. The men had dried blood stains on their face and hands, and were smoking Marlboro Reds, several butts of which were found at the crime scene, detectives said, and the men were also drinking the same brand, size and flavor of beer as the one found at the crime scene.
The suspects, ages 21 and 23, were released after investigators obtained their contact information.
McClellan, who was taken to Harborview Medical Center after his attack, has since been released.
No arrests have been made in the case, and the investigation is ongoing.
Seattle police have referred the case to its bias crimes unit to determine whether it qualifies as a hate crime. Anyone with information on the case is urged to contact police immediately.

Contributors Note:
I do believe this is the FIRST time I have read MSM report that a White male being beaten by those who appeared to be black and the other Asian or Pacific Islander a *HATE CRIME*. I can't recall ever having read a MSM report written in this manner.
Another story on the subject from a different publication. That makes two MSM that have published this, which means the evil ones want this out here, but for what purpose when they have always buried these stories if it was a white person who got ravaged. Is it to generate hate and move into violence?

W. Seattle teen beaten bloody in possible hate crime
By Joel Moreno
SEATTLE - A 15-year-old boy from West Seattle says he was held hostage and beaten for hours, all because of the color of his skin.
Shane McClellan says two men kicked and whipped him at gunpoint - and told him they singled him out because he is white. Tim McClellan, Shane's father, says he barely recognized his son after the brutal assault.
"I didn't know if he was alive or dead," Tim McClellan said.
The incident happened as Shane McClellan was walking home from a friend's house Tuesday around 2 a.m.
Shane's father says two men called to Shane from the top of a staircase near the intersection of 14th Avenue SW and SW Holden Street. The men asked for a light, and when Shane walked over to oblige, they knocked him to the ground and started kicking him.
"Apparently one guy got behind him and grabbed him, and the other guy started punching him in the face," says Joseph Cannis, a friend of McClellan. The two men knocked the frightened teen around on the staircase, making racially charged remarks.
"So after they beat him up over here, they started dragging him over and talking stuff, 'We're going to beat you up.' Not letting him go. 'We're going to have some fun with you,'" says another of McClellan's friends, Michael Jackson.
The attackers stripped off McClellan's belt and started whipping his back. One of the men held a gun against the back of his head and burned his neck with cigarettes.
At one point they shoved McClellan's face into a hole with the gun against his head. They also urinated on him and poured beer over him.
Shane told police the suspects said they were whipping and beating him because he is white - and that his ancestors had done the same in the past.
"What he told me, when they were beating him with the belt, they were saying, 'I don't like white people,'" says Tim McClellan. The suspects told Shane they were Bloods gang members and were beating him because he was white.
The boy told police that one of his attackers appeared to be black and the other Asian or Pacific Islander. The victim's father says this was nothing short of hours of torture.
"Put a gun to the back of his head and told him if he said anything they were going to blow his head off while they sat there and burned him with cigarettes on the back of the neck," he says. The two assailants held the victim on the ground for some time, and Shane eventually passed out.
When he regained consciousness, the attackers were gone. They had taken his money, a coat and an MP3 player. Shane waved down a passing car for help and met his family at the hospital. Seattle police have referred the case to their Bias Crimes Unit for review as a possible hate crime.
Detectives told the family they are working on a photo montage of possible suspects - and will see if the victim is able to identify his attackers from the line-up. Shane is now out of the hospital and recovering at home.
