So I am flying to Dallas tomorrow and I figured I would check out the Fox Dallas site and I found this article. Did Fox Orlando report this? Or are we too P.C. to report?? If there were a black, chinese or hispanic fee I am sure it would be all over the news and you know who would be talking about it!!!

People beaten for not paying white 'fee'

ORLANDO, Fla. (UPI) -- Four Florida men face hate crime charges for allegedly beating an elderly woman and her two disabled friends for not paying a white person fee, police said.

The 62-year-old woman and her developmentally disabled friends were going into Kaley Park in Orlando, Fla., when Christopher Colbert, Erick Golden, Willie Pritts and Antoniette Boone allegedly began harassing them, investigators said.

The men are accused of telling the victims they were required to hand over a fee to stay in the park because they are white, WKMG-TV in Orlando, Fla. reported Monday.

The men allegedly threatened one victim with a knife and beat them when they failed to hand over money, the police report said. The men reportedly were taken into custody within miles of the park and are facing multiple criminal charges.
