It Was the lie of a child, a way of avoiding getting in trouble for coming home late.
But it had terrible consequences - it stirred an angry mob, and it ultimately left a 51-year-old man fighting for his life with horrific head injuries.
It led to the arrest of two women: the boy's mother, Aleathea Gillard and her neighbor, Sharina Joachim, who both have been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and related offenses, police said.
It started Tuesday afternoon, when Gillard confronted her 10-year-old son, police sources said. She wanted to know where he had been.
He said that, en route to his house, on Wellens Avenue near 5th Street in Olney, he had stopped at the nearby Sunoco gas station at 5th Street near Tabor Road. There, the boy said, he tried to earn some extra cash by offering to pump customers' gas, according to Lt. Dan Brooks, of Northwest Detectives.
While he was there, he ran into a neighborhood fixture, a homeless man who often does odd jobs around the area. He, too, wanted to pump gas for money, Brooks said. An argument broke out, and the boy would later claim the man assaulted him.
Only problem is that, according to Brooks, there is no evidence that the man did anything more than get into a verbal argument with him.

...he may not make it?
Hit in the head with a hammer, clubbed and stomped in the head.
Mom, kids, & the neighbors now identified & adults charged. ..one still missing.
Brutal savages!!
sigh ...
Synthetic ghetto names ...
Yes, I suppose I should check.
I never get gas in a crappy hood, or at night. These Obama thugs seem to be ramping up the #, frequency and severity of these attacks.
Yep.
I just peeked in on the neighborhood using Google and there is quite an, umm, eclectic variety of shops in the vicinity.
Tattoos, fried chicken emporiums, Chinese food, gold shop.
Not a section of town I would frequent.
As Kipling said: “the female of the species is more dangerous than the male.”
"More deadly".
And Kipling was wrong. Which is odd, because Kipling was rarely wrong.
Title Loans or Check Cashing would complete the look ...
Aleathea and Sharina? Where’s Cleophistina and L’aQueedeeleeshaniqua? For drooling imbeciles who can’t even talk in complete, intelligible sentences, these odiferous morons sure give the alphabet a workout when it comes to naming their litters.
There are lynchings reported in the paper almost every day. Perhaps not 100% perpetrated by blacks, but pretty close to that.
More of Obama's surrogate children.
If I remember correctly, the Capitol Hilton charged me like 300 bucks for valet service for that damned car and I never even saw it again until I left for my flight home, the job was walking distance from my hotel.
However, Kipling was not wrong. His examples were all correct.
No word on the homeless man’s race.
Someone is driving a pretty fancy car.....welfare pays good, doesn’t it? Savages doesn’t begin to cover it but all else escapes me. I certainly hope this video is widespread and each and every one of them is scooped up and the authorities forget where they locked them up.
Paging Al Sharpton, Tawana Brawley...
I have a Tracfone. Whenever I use it, the ID sent to the party I’m calling is Aleathea something. Apparently that’s the name of the ex-Tracfone customer orignally issued my number, and they can’t (won’t) change it. What a joke.
Nope he was totally right.
FR sometimes becomes an online lynch mob when accusations of molestation fly. However, the takeaway here is don’t take the law into your hands. If this had been reported to authorities, they would have cleared it up without the severe consequences of this false accusation.
