After a lengthy investigation, the Denver Police Department has arrested 32 suspects alleged to be responsible for a string of violent, racially motivated attacks that terrorized downtown Denver over a four-month period.

According to Denver Police Chief Gerry Whitman, the dozens of attacks all occurred in the same manner. A group of four or five young black men would approach white and Latino men, shout racial insults, and then physically assault their victims, punching and kicking them.

Many of the attacks also resulted in the robbery of the victim.

Though no one was killed in the attacks, many victims suffered serious head injuries, broken noses, and shattered eye sockets.

Chief Whitman told reporters: "We have seen coordinated efforts before, but not by this large of a group.”

Despite the “coordinated effort,” and the danger posed to the citizens of Denver, police chose not to warn the public to the racial component of the rampage.

Most of the alleged assailants are gang members with either the Rollin' 60s Crips or the Black Gangster Disciples.

All have been charged with hate crimes, and some will face robbery charges as well.

Three additional suspects, Allen Ford, Torrence McCall and one juvenile, remain at large.

Similar patterns of attacks also occurred this past summer in Baltimore, MD, and Buffalo, NY.

    Its my understanding that none of these criminals were charged with a hate crime. In fact, looks like they created a new term "bias motivated crime". It just looks like whites are www.youtube.com/watch?v=x017zexYdVA&feature=player_embedded

    If the attackers had been white, it would have been front page news on the New York Times and other liberal rags.

    Another example of the racial double standard in this country. These crimes are hate crimes but the multicultural apologists will make up new terms like G.A.D said. What is a "biased motivated crime" and how exactly is that different from a hate crime? Unbelievable! The liberals will do anything to keep "hate crimes" as a uniquely white phenomenon.

    And where is the ADL? Doesn't this gang fit the description of what an extremist group is? Why won't they acknowledge this on their website as acts of hate?

    These terrorists will do a couple of years of well fed incarceration and exercise and play checkers all day, all payed for overwhelmingly by the very people they wish to harm. They will then be released to commit more of these same acts of terrorism against whites.

    Like so many others, I'm sick and tired of being treated as second-class by the SPLC, ADL, and ACLU. How about we send them all a Christmas present of 1 (one) penny each inside a sealed envelope!

    Everyone knows black people can't be racists

    THEIR ANCESTORS WERE SLAVES (As were those of Slavs, where the name comes from, but they're white so it doesn't count)
