Rock, Paper, Hammer?

The Bosnian community in St. Louis is convinced that the murder of Bosnian refugee, Zemir Begic, was a hate crime. Not only that, but they think it's somehow connected to Ferguson. I don't knock the factor of it being a hate crime, but I do think that being bludgeoned with hammers is not connected to the shooting and death of Michael Brown. Sunday, 1:15am, Begic, his fiancee, and one other male passenger were driving the streets of St. Louis. As the story goes, a group of teenagers armed with hammers ran at the vehicle beating it with multiple times. Begic got out of his vehicle to protect his fiancee, and ended up being bludgeoned with hammers to the point of dying when they reached the hospital. I think it's disgusting that a group of teenagers, my age, would even think of killing people like this. It's insane and unpalatable that they could do this. I'm not quite sure if it was a targeted hate crime, because the attack was spontaneous on them and it didn't seem like it was executed in the way that made them target a certain race.
