James Craig Anderson

18-year-old white teenager, Deryl Dedmon jr., is facing two life sentences in America, for vehicular homicide, among other things, for beating, then repeatedly running over, 49-year-old homeless man, James Craig Anderson, with a pick up truck.

Dedmon issued a racial slur after killing black-American Anderson, proudly stating, "I just ran that nig*er over." As many websites have stated, this was indeed a hate crime. A few uniformed people tried to state otherwise, but let's look at this case for what it is and not cover it up.

Attempting to or actually running over a minority, among other forms of violence, is unquestionably a serious hate crime, which is also a violation of the Civil Rights Act. This young man has thrown his freedom and future away over racism and hatred. Idle hands really are the devil’s workshop. Dedmon needs to ask God for forgiveness.
