The sister of a white Mobile, Alabama man who suffered severe head trauma during a beating by approximately 20 black neighbors on Saturday spoke exclusively to The Daily Caller, saying that the incident started after one of her children witnessed some of the eventual assailants stealing an item from a neighbor’s porch — not, as some media outlets have reported, following a disagreement about a pick-up basketball game in the street.
Ashley Parker, whose brother Matthew Owens is clinging to life after the assault, said Owens was attacked after her 21-year-old daughter witnessed a group of African-American youth moving from yard to yard in the neighborhood and taking something that didn’t belong to them. She told Owens, who confronted the youths.
She “saw one of them take something off a porch,” Parker said, “and that is when Matthew approached them and told them they need to go home.”
The group returned with more than a dozen others, she said, beating Owens with bats, brass knuckles, a chair, a paint can and other objects. The attack left him bloodied and unconscious.
Parker has since reinforced her account about petty theft precipitating the incident, telling the same version of events to a Facebook group that was started to support her brother.
She said she is “scared to death” and plans to move out of the neighborhood this week.
“I don’t feel safe here anymore,” she told TheDC. “My brother is being smeared. … I know how this works now. The victim always ends up the bad guy. I have lost faith in humanity because of this.” Ads by Google
Her children, she said, “witnessed their uncle being beaten half to death. Now my children are afraid. I will not live like this.”

It's about damned time!
Don't lose faith yet. First try to learn to recognize humanity. Then you are in a position to make choices.
All it would have taken....ALL it would have taken to prevent this....would have been ONE decent, ARMED citizen to have walked outside and drawn down on these drooling black thugs. They’d have folded like pup tents (cowards that they are) and run home.
I know the type, I know the pack behavior. Show ‘em you’re the alpha dog.
But nope....no one bothered. Everyone in that neighborhood that wasn’t beating on this man with household supplies decided to close and lock their front doors.
America has become a nation of COWARDS.
Her account of the incident was reenforced by a facebook post ?
What kind of reporting is that ?
I do not doubt her but how about some reporter actuatlly find out ?
No MSM reporter is gonna touch this story, the bad guys are the wrong color.
“...ONE decent, ARMED citizen to have walked outside and drawn down on these drooling black thugs.”
You’re right. That is what you and I, along with 75% of the FReepers here would have done.
The aftermath would be hell for anyone that did take such an action. Their house would be burned to the ground within 24 hours.
With race relations set back 50 years by 0bama’s ‘team’ I can most assuredly say that there WILL be riots this summer, bad ones.
Sounds like the beating victim did what you said someone should do, his mistake was he did not have a street sweeper in his hand..
Sad so many are driven by hate, and greed..
The whole revisionist black community is acting against one of the ten commandments, putting them in a spiral down...being what they are is the punishment..
Lots of blood but the majority always wins...amazes me why Manson and Obama should think otherwise.
These clowns are nothing but thugs with a PR department.
It is irrelevant what triggered this brutal, mob, beating.
The fact that it was a 20 to 1 beat down of racist blacks against a lone white victim for allegedly “dissing” some black man is the point. Whether it was for theft or street basketball doesn’t matter.
At one time racist whites in the South would beat blacks for “disrespecting” them. The murder of Emmit Till in Mississippi in 1955 for disrespecting a white man by whistling at his wife is a prime example. The Till murder was national news then and now it is in the history books.
The Mobile beating, and hundreds like it that happen nation wide every year, are barely local crime stories, sanitized of their racist motives by a Corrupt Liberal Media, and a corrupt politicized police force. It is the Greatest Story Never Told.
Liberalism has killed journalism.
Eric Holder was right, although in ways opposite of what he meant at the time.
We are truly a “nation of cowards”
These guys might be a little out of control....
Astute indeed and so true.
Yeah, nice logic...”I’m so mad, I’m going to burn down my own house!”
These are not the brightest bulbs on the tree.
Can anyone read this story and still wonder how big cities became surrounded by suburbs?
It started with the Block Busting tactics of th 50’s and it is still going on today.
A community can only stand so much diversity and then it goes downhill, get out before that happens or be left holding the bag.Socially and Financially.
Correct, blacks are only 13%. But Team Obama’s goal is to create such horrible race riots, that some type of emergency rule or martial law is required. Of course, we can’t have normal elections in such a fearful climate....
That’s one hypothesis. It’s Lenin’s dictum, “The worse, the better,” for creating the optimal pre-revolutionary climate.
He didn’t have a gun; apparently (if media reports are even halfway accurate for once) he had a kitchen knife in his hand when he shooed the kids away. He SHOULD have had a 12 gauge or better handy for the lynch mob’s arrival.
On second thought, go ahead and confuse him with Malik Zulu Shabazz; it's clear they're cut from the same dirty rag.
I'd want an AR with a chest rig of 30rd mags.
I'm beginning to see why liberals hate hi-cap mags so much.
