Update, 4/2/12, WFTV tv video mentions the victim was "a 50 year old white male" at about :40 in the report. The published report on its website for some reason does not mention the victim's race. "Cops: Man beaten with hammer, 2 arrested," WFTV.com. via WZ

"A tip to Crimeline has led to the arrests of two men in a brutal beating that occurred a week ago in the Midway community east of Sanford.

Julius Ricardo Bender, 18, and Yahaziel Isaac Israel, 19, face charges of attempted first-degree murder, burglary with assault or battery and armed burglary.

The victim, a 50-year-old Winter Springs man whose name has not been released, is on life-support at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

Deputies were called to the area of Lincoln Street and Beardall Avenue about 6:30 p.m. March 26 to investigate a report of a man being beaten, Seminole County Sheriff's spokeswoman Heather Smith said.

They found the victim in the woods on the north side of Lincoln Street.

According to arrest affidavits:

A witness told deputies he heard someone screaming for help and saw two men pull the victim from his vehicle. He said he watched as one man held the victim and the other beat him in the head with a hammer.

After they dragged the victim into the woods, the men drove away in his sport utility vehicle, which was later found abandoned about a half-mile away on Garbo Jack Lane.

Investigators got a break in the case Thursday, when a tip to Crimeline named Bender and gave the street name of the second suspect.

On Friday, investigators learned Israel's fingerprints had been found both inside and outside of the victim's vehicle.

The witness was shown photo lineups and picked out Bender and Israel as the men he saw beating the victim. He said Bender was the man wielding the hammer.

Both men were arrested late Friday."

"UPDATE: We have confirmed that the victim is white. A CofCC.org reader received an e-mail reply from the Orlando Sentinel admitting that the race of the victim was censored on purpose, and that it is the policy of the newspaper to censor race. Also, shortly after CofCC.org wrote about this crime, the Orlando Sentinel removed the perpetrators’ mug shots from their online article. The Orlando Sentinel censored the race of the perpetrators in a previous article, even though they were still at large when it was published.

A fifty year old white man is on life support after a near fatal beating. Police have arrested two black teens. The attack occurred near the community where the Trayvon Martin self-defense shooting took place.

The two suspects face charges of attempted first-degree murder, burglary with assault or battery and armed burglary. They are accused of beating the man in the head with a hammer. The suspects are 18 and 19.

The attack took place in Midway, FL, about six miles from where George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense

Think this story will receive 1/1,000th of 1% of the news coverage that Trayvon Martin received?

Even though the police put the race of the victim in the incident report, the media censored this information. A reporter for the Orlando Sentinel confirmed that the race of the victim was omitted on purpose. The Orlando Sentinel also appears to have removed the suspects’ mug shots shortly after CofCC.org wrote about the attack.

Previously the Orlando Sentinel had published a request for the public to help catch the perpetrators. The description is based on of two eye witnesses. What MAJOR feature is missing from the description published by the newspaper?

From Orlando Sentinel…

"Both of the attackers are about 20 years old. One is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and was wearing blue denim shorts. He was not wearing a shirt. The second man was 5 feet, 10 inches tall.""

Ed. note: Will Obama call for the nation to do some "soul searching" as a result of this?
