With that name, I don't think he is a Westie White even if he wants to be. I also hope he didn't think this was the initiation to become one.

I do have a feeling this was an attempted hate crime based on the sparse details presented

“ I do have a feeling this was an attempted hate crime based on the sparse details presented”

What information did you get from this article that it may have any indication of being a hate crime?

Ron, in response to your question - where does it say he was a white guy?
