    Are you to lame to check the media yourself?

    No, haven't seen this reported (probably because nobody knew about it until yesterday?)...

    Disgusting... try not to enjoy watching it too much, huh??

    BTW, How is that young assaulter "a patient at a nursing facility"??

    Also, the old guy is still alive... Death always makes more headlines...

    Here's a prediction - if it's revealed through investigation that this is in fact a hate crime, A) there's a good chance you'll never know because it won't be disclosed B) MSM might give it a brief mention, but bury it inconspicuously at the bottom of their page or in an opinion piece.

    This type of placement occurs more than you might believe. It appears the younger patient requires that level of care but fell through the cracks in our healthcare system and ended up in the nursing home with the elderly.

    That’s the real story unless, of course, you’ve got issues with race.

    The modern media doesn't care whether or not it had anything to do with race! To them everything is about race! That is unless it makes their base look bad. See the hypocrisy? The headline under contemporary standards minus hypocrisy should have read......
    "Young nurse attendant "black neck" wails on elderly white gentleman in nursing home."

    Scary... obviously that guy needs to be a "patient" somewhere, but a nursing home wouldn't be in my top 3 choices...

    I guess the headline should read ' scum sucking f***er beats vunerable man.' I don't care about the race of animals as this - that fella needs some serious punishment. I do see why race is played in news, but for me humans are humans. headline could be 'savage homo sapien beats elderly homo sapien in nursing home'

    Would you have the same opinion if the races were reversed? I'm not familiar with your posts, but if you're a progressive, and your answer is "yes", I'd guess with a high degree of certainty that your answer is disingenuous.

    It's an asinine proposition anyways... to claim that the real story here is that a "younger patient slipped through the cracks". Nobody thinks that, other than someone who wishes to distract from the literal story.

    CNN is not carrying this story. Reverse things and it would be front page Trump's fault.

    Why wasn’t it mentioned as a racial hate crime?

    As the OP correctly pointed out, the article title is missing any description of the victim/perp race, which is rarely the case when races are reversed. Also, the story is near the bottom of their site. It's actually below the story about the guy who filmed the Arbery incident being arrested.

    Guess what else is low on their site in small print? Biden telling blacks they're not black if they support Trump.

    Media if roles reversed: "White man beats elderly black victim".
    Media since aggressor was black: "Nursing home employee beats elderly man"
    To the small extent it gets reported.

    How is the race relevant? Sounds more like far right wing nazi's want to blame the entire race because of what individual did.

    That's generally not for straight early reporting to do... that's a determination for prosecutors, based on history, motive and intent...

    SNIP
    A “hate crime” is targeted criminal activity, usually motivated by prejudice based on perceived personal characteristics of the victims. These motivations may include race, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.[1]
    ENDSNIP

    My early determination is deranged nut... But that could change...

    I ask myself the same question every time an article starts with "Black man/woman..." when it's not apparent at all that the incident had anything to do with race.

    Lots of articles are about... black man does <<insert normal activity>> and so is suspicious according to some white person, leading to a harassment on a massive scale and or killing the black man.

    How are they titled (regardless of whether or not there's proof of racism)?

    I don't believe he was an employee, as early right wing sites jumped to the conclusion on. Reportedly he was a patient.

    That video is disturbing. What bothers me most is that the abuser was so emotionless - he didn't appear angry, at all. The elderly man wasn't making any noises, either. He was taken to the hospital for non critical injuries - he certainly seemed to take a bigger beating then the result, but I'm glad it wasn't too devastating. Lock that kid up.

    Truly bizarre.

    The hypocrisy of the MSM has no boundaries.

    Here is a story about a Dad yelling during his child’s game & he was asked to leave the field.

    This made the ABC national news & the women in the golf cart was just doing her job.

    Race had nothing to do with it, but it was reported as a racial issue. The video shows a one sided view of the incident & ABC did not Take a statement from the women who asked the dad to leave the field.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/florida-deputies-called-black-father-yelled-son-youth/story?id=58530024

    The beating of an elderly person is far more important than a Dad being asked to leave the field.

    A parent being asked to leave a field for mouthing off is not uncommon.
