LONG BEACH, Calif. — Eight black youths have been charged with hate crimes and felony assault in the brutal beating of three white women on Halloween night.
The youths — seven girls and one boy — pleaded not guilty Wednesday. If convicted, they face punishments ranging from probation to confinement in a youth facility.
Police said the black youths hurled racial insults at the women — two 19-year-olds and a 21-year-old — and punched and kicked them. One was hit with a skateboard and both suffered broken bones and other injuries. They said the attackers shouted, “I hate whites” and other profanities during the assault.
