"A 25-year-old man said he was attacked by the group as he walked to his car. Two Kroger employees, 17 and 18, ran to help the man. Both were repeatedly hit in the head and face.
The teens told police pumpkins “in excess of 20 pounds” were thrown on their heads while they were on the ground."

I am pretty taken back by this. The kids dont even seem to be doing this our of anger... By the way their laughs sound I think this is just a good time for them... Similar to the knockout game. Wtf has to be wrong for kids to be getting enjoyment out of shit like this?
Race obviously plays a factor here and this should definitely be considered a hate crime. You have to wonder what sort of media attention this would get if a gang of white teens jump a 25 year old black man.
