Violence erupted on the opening night of the Wisconsin State Fair in what police and witnesses are calling racially-charged mob beatings. At least seven people were hospitalised after a rowdy crowd of fairgoers began plucking people out of cars and off motorcycles to beat them.
The number of attackers ranges from dozens to hundreds as police try to sort out exactly how many people were injured late Thursday. Milwaukee police said Friday that calls were still coming in from fair attendees who were injured in the violence. Witnesses and police said the attacks appeared to be racially-motivated. Fairgoer Norb Roffers told Newsradio 620 WTMJ: ‘It looked like they were just going after white guys, white people.' 'They were attacking everybody for no reason whatsoever.’ Eric, an Iraq war veteran who declined to give his last name, said attackers were 'knocking people off their motorcycles.' He said: 'All I kept thinking was, 'There's not enough cops to handle this. There's no way. It would have taken the National Guard' The fair's communication director, Kathleen O'Leary, said: ‘We had complete control inside of what was happening inside of our gates.' She added that the problem was 'what spread into the neighbourhoods.' But one worker said that wasn't true, as 50 to 100 African American teens looting for game prizes and starting fights within the confines of the fair.
State Fair spokeswoman Patrice Harris said a number of arrests were made, mostly for disorderly conduct.

will the obama/holder justice department investigate this as a federal hat/bias crime? no, it doesn't fit their template.
i didn't see anything about this in the media, i only stumbled on the story while surfing the net. however, there was a lead story on cnn about some white guys who targeted one black guy in mississippi. if this shit continues, i think you may see the long-awaited white backlash.
