What exactly are you going to clean up, since it is a pure statement of facts as reported by the various newspapers to which links are provided. If you read the Wikipedia article, it is really a recitement of the newspaper articles.

[edit] Notability?

I follow NYC news quite a bit, and frankly, I don't remember this incident at all.--Pharos 07:04, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


-- But I am sure you remember the Howard Beach incident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Beach#Howard_Beach_redux), because Mayor and police commissioner were all over it, as well as national media. They needed black votes, you see. The point is, when it is Whites defending themselves, it is all over media and the whites are branded as racists, blacks defended as victims. When blacks attack Whites (which is 90% of interracial crime), it is never in the news. That is how liberal media works. Even wikipedia team, edited the article in a way that obfuscates the point of media bias.

"(which is 90% of interracial crime)" Are you kidding? Where did this statistic come from? Wishful thinking or your nether regions? Sorry, but whites attacking blacks and other "minorities" are a far larger percentage.

Why was the article completely ripped apart? It seems if other people come and edit it, it is no reason to completely destroy it. Just restore it to the official Wikified version. Actually I just did it myself. --Ram2006 13:30, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I removed the text that was copied from other websites. Please only contribute words that you have written yourself. -Will Beback 01:43, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Actually Ram, I'm with Will here. His version is actually better than mine. Though I will give myself credit. My version sure as heck beats the version that was here. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 04:25, 10 April 2006 (UTC)


Somehow Will deleted the fact that the attackers were black and victims were white, but left "text that was copied from other websites" presenting Village Voice's suggestions that it was the fault of the White girls. Is it part of Wikipedia guidelines, to suppress certain facts.
I indiscriminately deleted the text that I found to have been copied from other websites. Please add back any verifiable facts using your own words. -Will Beback 03:43, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
