Mississippi prosecutor says video turns hit-and-run case to hate crime

"Smith says the video shows a group of white teens beating black auto worker James Craig Anderson in a parking lot, before one of the teens gets into a pick-up truck and intentionally runs him down. A motel worker said one of the teens yelled "white power" during the beating, and Smith says the group drove from the mostly white Rankin County to Jackson solely in order to find a black person to assault."

This video does start with a warning about graphic footage. I didn't watch the video footage, but the interviews/reporting better illustrate the awfulness of this. Like, these kids went to mcdonalds afterwards.
