"I put my head down between my legs so they would stop beating me in the face, but they were trying to pull my face up and hit me more," she said. "They ripped out chunks of my hair, and I've got a black eye and bruises on my face, and all over my back and shoulder."

This reminded me of so many videos I've seen from around the US.

This tactic of one or all too often several assailants pummeling an innocent victim's head, focusing entirely on their head and hitting it as many times and as hard as possible.

No sense of honor at all, no guilt about a huge imbalance of numbers... 7 or 30 people vs. 1? Not a problem for these folks, apparently. I realize anyone who's randomly attacking strangers is obviously not honorable, but there was a time when even someone doing something like that, would often just knock the wind out of them or something. This laser-focus on the head is a more recent trend.

It's obviously an extremely dangerous thing to do, and the most likely way to end up turning an assault into a murder.

I just can't imagine how someone conjures the necessary rage and motivation to beat a complete stranger's head, repeatedly, as hard as you can... if anyone is blissfully ignorant about how common this is, though, spend some time on LiveLeak.

No, I'm just kidding. I don't have a rape whistle.

Were you serious about inviting me to dinner? :p
Get some bear spray. Fuzzy.


Absolutely. Off the top of my head, there isn't anyone that I wouldn't dine with. Might not be able to talk politics/religion(thankfully) but we can fellowship....and eat.:biggrin:

Yeah, okay that's inexcusable, the mob attacks on innocent persons.

What you are seeing is basically a Lord of the Flies sort of deal, where in the absence of authority, civility breaks down and it is every man for himself. In such instances, being hyper-aggressive is how to survive, because showing momentary weakness invites attacks.

Then the hyper-aggressiveness becomes a habit and this happens.

My solution, as always, is simple: abortion.

Lol. Don't take yourself so seriously. "I just can't *imagine* how someone conjures the necessary rage..." blah blah blah blah.

"Extremely dangerous"? Since when does handing out a beatdown become extremely dangerous? I guess when a black person does it to a white person, that's when.

I'm not condoning their actions at all, but you sound like a typical implicit racist.

Getting a beatdown happens regularly in ghetto black areas. It's nothing as shocking as frightened white people like yourself make it out to be. It happens and then people *move on*. Rather than bully people into suicide and shooting up children at schools, black people beat each other up.

Both races are fucked up, cruel, and nasty at times.

I wouldn't call this racist. . . simple facts. At least how the media wants us to see it. I haven't seen many recent reports about white flash mobs. . . i mean riots. When they're black it's called a flash-mob to avoid the racist undertones. . . at least be honest about what it is. I'd rather the events not happen, but what is lying about it going to do for us?

The fact that they attack random strangers and beat them in the head is disgusting. . . brain damage . . coma . . . death? That's intollerable. Not an isolated event ,apparently...are we going to do something about it?

Those so worried about this: See if you can find some statistics from a meaningful source. Because until they're posted, all I see if a string of anecdotes that are more revealing of white fears of black youth than anything serious.

It strikes me as like that year (2009? something like that) when the news media reported every single shark attack and you'd think there was an epidemic, when really overall numbers were tiny and lower than usual, but people are afraid of sharks and it sells papers. White people afraid of blacks in numbers is as old as this country and I'm sure sells a lot of conservative newsletters, NRA memberships, and Fox News viewer eyeballs too.

We're also only about 2-3 generations removed from this form of ACTUAL statistically significant 'flash mob' violence, for those posters so very eager to gun down those engaging in group violence:

The incident in question did not lead to brain damage, coma, or death. You use inflammatory terms like "coma" and "brain damage" to create a scary black bogeyman. Please, cut the BS out.

Only took three posts for race to be brought up in this thread.....
Considering that most/all of these flash mobs of teens are mostly/all black it seems a meaningful observation and highly disingenuous to pretend it is irrelevant.
Because until they're posted, all I see if a string of anecdotes that are more revealing of white fears of black youth than anything serious.
You haven't tried looking.

The racial makeup of these mobs is hardly ever noted, despite them predominantly consisting of black teens because of "omg you're racist" type responses inevitably that will pop up (e.g. in this thread). Further, no white leader will touch this with a 10 foot pole for the same reason, thus we're left with black leaders who will:

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2011/0809/Flash-mob-attacks-Rising-concern-over-black-teen-involvement

In a message Monday to the mob suspects, Mayor Nutter, Philadelphia's third black mayor, said, "You have damaged your own race."

"These are majority African-American youths and they need to be called on it," the head of Philadelphia's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, J. Whyatt Mondesire, told the Washington Times.

Pretending a potentially relevant aspect of a problem does not exist makes it unlikely to solve the problem.

That's absolutely no excuse for what they did to the woman in the subway. You should know better.

ictim Thomas Fitzgerald was riding his bike on Broad Street when he was pulled from his bike and beaten. He suffered broken bones, head injuries, and was in an induced coma for four days.

A 22-year-old Bayonne, New Jersey man is in a coma after a large group of teenagers beat him to within an inch of his life early Sunday morning. Dawid Strucinski, a recent criminal justice graduate from Rutgers University who is described by a friend as "one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life," was walking home from a convenience store around 3 a.m. when he intervened to help a buddy being attacked by the mob. CBS 2 reports that he suffered severe head trauma from the assault, and this surveillance video shows his assailants, who numbered between 13-20, repeatedly punching and kicking him in the head while he's down.

Pointing this stuff out has been tried several times on this forum.
Unfortunately those posters we try to reach have insulated themselves with several more layers of their defense bubbles.
It seems the main defense is now *i'm not racist, you are* and * you are just suffering from white guilt*
Then they go watch some liveleak videos to confirm their fears.
I'm pretty sure you can't bust these bubbles through the internet, but never stop posting these.
If we can get just one of them to take a step into the real world, it's worth it.
yadda yadda yadda

...all I see if a string of anecdotes ...

Oh really? USA Today (a well known liberal newspaper) is a meaningful source, I reckon.

Inside is a cauldron of cultural discontent that erupted in violence last month — off-campus and lunchroom attacks on about 50 Asian students, injuring 30, primarily at the hands of blacks. The Asian students, who boycotted classes for more than a week afterward, say they've endured relentless bullying by black students while school officials turned a blind eye to their complaints.

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/education/2010-01-22-asian-bullying-philadelphia_N.htm

I wonder what would happen if a bunch of whites relentless attacked and injuried 30 black students while school officials turned a blind eye?

I guess the scumbags that attacked, looted, and burned Korean owned stores at the Rodney King riot were just a string of anecdotes? :D

A few more links = http://www.sullivan-county.com/racism/days.htm

Who needs to take a step or two into the real world? ROTFLMAO.

I guess none of those victims of these attacks or the store owners who have been robbed in these 'isolated' incidents live in the real world and the mayor of Philly who addressed this very issue was just blowing smoke up our asses..

Yeah you are right...there is nothing to see here...these are just kids having fun and there is nothing to worry about...

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news...ugh-to-black-teens-after-flash-mobs/?page=all

Mayor Michael A. Nutter, telling marauding black youths “you have damaged your own race,” imposed a tougher curfew Monday in response to the latest “flash mob” — spontaneous groups of teens who attack people at random on the streets of the city’s tourist and fashionable shopping districts.

“Take those God-darn hoodies down, especially in the summer,” Mr. Nutter, the city’s third black mayor, said in an angry lecture aimed at black teens. “Pull your pants up and buy a belt ‘cause no one wants to see your underwear or the crack of your butt.”

In the past two years, the City of Brotherly Love has been the scene of several flash mobs in which youths meet at planned locations by texting one another and then commit assorted mayhem.

In one episode, teens knocked down passers-by on a Center City street and entered an upscale department store where they assaulted shoppers. On another occasion, hundreds of teens gathered in a restaurant district and menaced patrons, forcing some restaurant owners to lock customers inside temporarily for their own protection or to close early.

In the latest event July 29, about 20 to 30 youths descended on Center City after dark, then punched, beat and robbed bystanders. One man was kicked so savagely that he was hospitalized with a fractured skull. Police arrested four people, including an 11-year-old.

Other cities have grappled with the problem of destructive flash mobs. In Chicago on Memorial Day weekend, roving teens flashed gang signs, knocked cyclists off their bikes and harassed picnickers. Police closed a popular beach as the violence escalated.

In January, dozens of young people stormed a popular Milwaukee mall late in the afternoon and scared customers and store employees.

In the District of Columbia, about 20 teenagers entered the G-Star Raw store on Connecticut Avenue at Dupont Circle in April and stole about $20,000 worth of merchandise before fleeing.

Yup...the African American mayor of Philly just has 'white guilt and these flash mobs are just totally random...

Now if you could just provide some links to these mobs of white teenagers terrorizing citizens for kicks on the same 'isolated' basis...

Just more reason for people to conceal carry.

Notice you tend to see this stuff happening in new york... chicago.... Places where conceal carry is frowned upon.


Take note... If your life is threatened by a thug or group of thugs, just shoot them. Don't engage in any sort of physical confrontation, or try to talk your way out of it, just pull out the gun and shoot them dead.

They have no respect for your life, so give them the same in return.


Make the specific choice to act like a thug, dress like a thug, don't be surprised when you're treated like a thug.




I also notice that almost all of the thugs involved were wearing hoodies in deep cover.

Anything to not be ID'd when committing a crime, amirite?
