The white victim, by the way, was unconciouss and hospitalized as a result.

It was "claimed" he was knocked unconcious, and his "hospitilization" amounted to an emergency room visit to treat minor cuts and abrasions.....released with a few band-aids and was at the school dance two hours later.

Notice how when the black victim claimed he was beaten by a beer bottle, you questioned the veracity and discarded it....yet when a white victim claims he was unconcious, it is somehow viewed as gospel truth?

Well, I wouldn't say "gospel truth", but the few reports I've read said he was sent to the hospital for the 6 man beat down, and only the beer bottle fellow claims to have been hit over the head. I didn't read any of his friends agreeing with this or any eye witnesses.

This part of the discussion has nothing to do with skin color. All we have to go off of is what we've read. Which is hard enough to trust as it is.

According to wikipedia (and the court transcript), the white person left the scene and was followed to his car where he picked up a weapon. In an act of self defense, this is totally justified. <This is all very vague though, but it does indicate that whitey was acting in self defense, and the eye witness testimony seems to corroborate this.

The eyewitness testimony of his fellow white acquaintences, sure, I bet it does support it.

I think the gun incident had to be culled together from eye witness accounts because all those involved had stories that differed too greatly. I can only assume the police talked to the people who saw what happened on an individual basis. This being the case, it's safe to assume that what was reported was actually what happened. Because, if 5 people said he was followed to the car, and a sixth said they were beating him while he was making his way to the car, it's pretty obvious who's not being honest. But again, I don't know the police's interrogation tactics, so I can't be sure of what really happened.

Seems far more likely a trio of hillbilly's piled in the car and brought the gun along to harass some black youths, and had to weasel their way out with the nice little cover story once they got disarmed and rebuffed.

Nice that you're so racist against white people with this particular conspiracy theory, but again, the testimony of those involved in this incident, as I've read, was disregarded because of inaccuracies/disparities.
