Simply put, if 6 people beat the crap out of someone it should be assault, as long as the person's life isn't put on the line. This is the story I heard to begin with. When the stomping, kicking, etc comes into play, especially when the victim is unconscious, I can understand the attempted murder charges. Initially I felt the charges were wrong, but when I heard about the stomping and kicking I changed my tune. No matter what race of anyone involved that's what the charges should have been.
On the other side I can see where people would get upset. If the attackers were white, the victim some other race, it probably would have been assault charges and community service as the punishment. That is where the problem lies. The law is the law and it should be enforced the same way if you're white, black, purple, green, etc. I agree with Killer though, it will NEVER happen.
