The Philadelphia Daily News is reporting a very disturbing occurrence of what has to be considered a hate crime. Levi Lee and Bryson Mills, lifelong friends, who grew up in Philly were beaten after encountering the following exchange in which the assailants had chased another black male, according to the article:
" 'Get back here, n-----,' " one yelled, according to Lee and Mills. " 'We gonna get you, n-----.' "
One of the white guys took a swing at the black guy, and Mills said that he yelled out something like, "Yo, they're jumping that black guy!"
The pack of white males turned their attention to Mills and Lee, while the guy they were chasing took off toward Penns Landing and disappeared.
"That's when they came running towards us and said, 'You f------ n------,' " Lee said.
