Anyone know why the media doesn't report on stuff like this?

    It's an assault, I would expect your local media reported it.

    Black on white assaults happen all the time without getting media attention.

    Imagine if a dozen white teens stomped a well dressed black couple.
    National media is commie.
     
  5. whole city is investigating and hopefully eveyrone who stomped or threw a punch gets thrown in jail and gets beaten in there.

    I saw that happen a few times...they fights only made local news...it did not make "national media news". Yet, had someone been killed or hospitalized and in a coma...it'll make national news.

    In contrast, one sided street fights by youths or young adults on big nights of bars, clubs, sporting events...not news worthy beyond the local news media.

    Simply, if you let your bias or prejudices get in the way of your vision, you will not see the truth.​

    Regardless, I've also seen crap like that happen in different areas of the United States when I was in the military and abroad in other countries. Thus, it happens everywhere in the world regardless of ethnicity...more so in areas where there are bars and clubs.

    The worst beat down I witness was Seoul, South Korea youths (street kids) beating the hell out of a Spanish couple (the couple were drunk) after the couple made a derogatory comment to the owner of a food stand when the owner said he was closing down his stand for the evening a few hours early because of a family emergency.

    I think the couple had too much Soju.​

    The owner ignore the derogatory comments but not the youths who were standing in line behind the Spanish couple. The street youths immediately went into attack mode.

    The street youths should have shown more respect by following the lead of the owner who easily brushed of the derogatory comments.​

    After the beat down, the youths helped picked up an elderly person who was accidentally knocked down and injured her leg. They apologized greatly to the elderly woman but didn't say a word to the drunk Spanish couple they had just beaten down.

    P.S. High School sports rivalries are notorious for street fights like that after the completion of the game and people have been drinking too much. At least that fight shown by the OP didn't involve any shooting because if I'm not mistaken, people can carry & conceal a gun in the state of Ohio if you're 21 and above.

    Motive and the societal standard of beauty of the victim are what drive if it is reported nationally.

    Most Black perpetrated violence is socioeconomic related.

    You seem to think all violence is race related.

    If the victim is a pretty blonde girl, it will get national attention. If it's a pretty black girl, it won't. (You don't have a problem with this, i assume).
