"Bleach Bomb" Injures Man!

Black man claims that he was assaulted by "bleach bomb". Was it a racist attack?

There's far too many "incidents" of people claiming that they were attacked by an unknown assailant who happened to throw a household cleaning item in their faces. I've heard this story over and over again.

I do have sympathy for those who were injured by type of attacks. I mean who wants to be killed by a hazardous chemical attack? 

I've heard it all before. In the age of digital media, somewhere on the campus of The University of Texas, there was a camera and a witness somewhere. Somebody knows what's going on!

And if there's not enough evidence to prove an intruder injured the victim, clearly I will call this a racial hoax!

I don't believe it until there's a video proof that an attack occurred.

That's kind of harsh but I am tired of these stories popping up in the news and these incidents turn out to be fake.

I remind myself of the woman from Washington state who ended up doing herself bodily harm and tried to pin it on a Black woman. Bethany Storro put drain cleaner on her face and let that stuff permanently injure her face. Now whenever this stuff comes to mind, I will always come to my mind, the victim was the attacker.

I keep thinking of Ashley Todd, the former John McCain volunteer worker who curved a backwards "B" in her face. Todd claimed that a big Black guy attacked her and assaulted her for the fact she's not a supporter of Barack Obama. I think of these incidents as a play to rile up political opposition.

These type of incidents would have sparked vigilante attacks against Black or Hispanic men. These incidents will agitate conservative talk radio and the White extremist movement.

So again, I don't believe it until there's proof. That's video and witnesses other than the victim.

An investigation is underway over a so-called "bleach bomb" attack reportedly perpetrated against an African-American student at the University of Texas at Austin. The incident echoes similar occurrences that shook the school's minority community last year and sparked campus protests.

The student who was apparently targeted, UT junior Bryan Davis, told Austin-based FOX 7 that he was walking to a friend's house past an apartment complex popular with students when he was hit with what he says was a chemical-filled balloon.

"I kind of just hear something exploding near me and I feel a light sting on my leg," Davis told FOX 7.

The 21-year-old also said he believes he was targeted because of his skin color.

Bleach, a chemical used to whiten clothes, makes a potentially derogatory statement when thrown at a minority student.

"People might look at it as a prank, but to be a minority at such a large school, even pranks like this, it doesn't come off the way you think it might when you're doing it," he told FOX 7, adding that the incident was "humiliating and embarrassing."

While Davis was not injured, Austin Police Corporal David Boyd explained to local station KEYE-TV why such attacks are dangerous.

"Bleach gets in your eyes [and] it could potentially blind you," said Boyd.

Last fall, multiple reports of bleach-filled balloons being thrown at UT minority students made national headlines and prompted a contentious march through the same West Campus neighborhood where Davis reported the alleged attack on Thursday. Some students claimed last year the bleach bombs were not racially motivated, while others contended that racial epithets had accompanied the balloons on at least one occasion.

Davis says he views his peers and his community differently after last week.

"I feel like a fool having had so much pride in front of others about the school I go to," Davis told local blog the Burnt Orange Report. "Now I can't help but to feel embarrassed for both myself and the school for the reputation it's starting to get as being hostile towards blacks, Asians and other minorities."

By the way, you wonder where I get my information from.

As you know I read online stories from the news agitators. The Huffington Post and That Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall are two primary websites I often check when I want to rant off about society's ills.

Helping these individuals get richer while the general public is dumb down. You may of heard of the controversy sparked by that teenage entertainer twerking her butt in front of an older entertainer.

Well I don't care about that stuff. They're not me and I am certainly not them. I got more things to worry about than two adults showing off their raunchy dancing. You don't like it, turn off the freaking television.

For Pete's sake, it's an entertainment channel. Get over it.
