Now the second vid of the three guys beating up (more wrestling) the Asian man in the laundromat smells of the need for drug money.

Sorry, look at me being vague, while criticising the media for being vague! Yes, I was trying to point out that they seem to call certain things "hate crime" and others not, like other posters pointed out here. Looks like there was more than enough here, according to their own criteria of hate crime and the "evidence" they gathered from other incidents, to call it that. But they went really out of their way not to.
I too try to stay away from this sort of "news" but I'm seeing more of it every day, and perhaps staying quiet is the worst response. Then this strange tone of the coverage really seemed to have triggered me.
