Daily article

I was disturbed by the article in the NT Daily on the attacks last week outside the Union. One of the group of attackers were well discribed as black males. The other set of attackers were not described well at all. The way the told the story in that non-descriptive attack made it sound like the victim could have had a good look at the attackers. Maybe not. However, due to the only description being of black males, my first imipression from the article was that these attacks should be blamed on black males. I want to know if there were any assumptions we were supposed to make about the first set of attackers because their race was not included. Needless to say, the article gave me an uneasy feeling.
