Racist violence is ok when the left does it

Some months ago two Mexican men were exiting a public restroom in Philadelphia, when they got attacked by a mob of about a dozen white people. The mob harassed them, shouted racial slurs at them, and physically assaulted them, punching, kicking and macing them. After the attack, the two victims were taken to a hospital to be checked.

One would think that the mainstream media would be all over this. Two people of Mexican descent were physically assaulted by a mob of white people who shouted racial slurs at them. What a perfect example of the rampant racism in the United States! This goes beyond acceptable, and something must be done about this! Surely this would make headlines, and TV coverage would be non-stop for weeks?

Yet... nothing. Not a peep. The majority of the mainstream media kept completely silent about it. About the only news agencies who reported on this were a local newspaper and Fox News (which is notoriously conservative).

How is this possible? This would be the absolutely perfect story for the leftist media, who are craving for exactly this kind of scoops. They will make huge deals about complete non-issues, like how much ice cream Trump eats, or if some random news anchor has a slip of the tongue on air that sounds like a racial slur (yeah, it has happened several times). One would, therefore, think that this kind of actual assault by a mob of white people on a couple of Mexicans within the United States would be plastered all over the news.

But no. Nothing.

Why?

Because the mob of white people were an "antifa" group. That's why.

It doesn't even matter that the two Mexican men were actually marine reservists who were there for a completely unrelated reason and had nothing to do with any political activism being engaged in the area, ie. they were completely unrelated and completely innocent bystanders who had nothing to do with anything. It also doesn't matter that the "antifa" mob literally shouted racial slurs at them when they discovered they were Mexican. The media at large still ignored this assault.

It goes to show that if you want to assault people and break stuff, you only need to wear a black mask, and the media will ignore you. In many cases even the police will ignore you.

You can read about it for example here, at one of the few media outlets that have reported about it.
