"Mug him again!"

From A UW student from China was jumped and punched and kicked by "four tall men in athletic wear." by Ann Althouse.  

She is pointing out that this is a black on Asian attack which apparently is causing a lot of discomfort and delicacy from the University administration and the police.  Indeed, she comes across the news of the attack, not in the local news media or from the police reports (which she receives) but from a Reddit translation of the victim's account in China.  

All of which is a public epistemic issue of some moment.

What I liked in this post was one of the comments from Derbyshire (2002)

Back in the late 1980s, there was a judge in New York City named Bruce Wright, known to all as "Turn 'Em Loose Bruce" for his lenience towards the criminals who came up before him. This was one of those liberal judges who had an excuse for every felon, even for those too stupid or obstreperous to have prepared an excuse for themselves. Well, one day Judge Wright got mugged in the street near his home. He was off work for a few days. It was a big story in the tabloid newspapers, and a lot of people were making jokes about it. When Judge Wright returned to the bench, he made a point of starting off that day's session with an announcement: "As I'm sure you all know, I was the victim of a criminal assault the other day. I want to make it clear that this experience will in no way change my sentencing policies on this bench!" As he paused to let this sink in, someone called out from the back of the courtroom: "Mug him again!"
