A security video showing a mob of students brutally beating two high schoolers in a Philadelphia subway station on Tuesday is being investigated by the city’s transportation officers.

“It’s an outrageous event. This is so dangerous, it’s not even funny,” Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority Police Chief Thomas J. Nestel III told Philly.com.

“We have operating trains down there. There are passengers waiting for the train ... it’s horrendous.”

The video, which was time-stamped around 3:15 p.m., shows about a dozen teenagers either participating in a one-minute assault on two male students, or cheering it on.

One of the assailants falls onto the subway tracks, pulls himself out and reenters the thrashing.

“It’s an outrageous event. This is so dangerous, it’s not even funny,” Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority Police Chief Thomas J. Nestel III told Philly.com. “We have operating trains down there. There are passengers waiting for the train ... it’s horrendous.”

That has to be one of the stupidest statements by a police chief that I have ever seen.

Better than, “No one is more outraged . . . . blah blah blah.”

Correction: “Mob of Amish teenagers...........”. Also code worded by the media as “a large group of teenagers”.

“One of the assailants falls onto the subway tracks, pulls himself out and reenters the thrashing.”

Such a shame a train wasnt pulling into the station.

"Has anything really good come out of Philly since, oh, maybe 1776?"

I am baffled as to why decent people continue to live in these urban jungles.

The weather is still lousy and they’re still in school. What happens in the cities this summer when the young ones get frisky and the police have directions to not shoot thugs?

Mentality in the black community is upside down. Intelligence is shunned, being a tough gangster is cool. Blacks who try to get out of the hood are pilloried, and labeled as uncle toms.
But try to get out the word they need to change and you’re a racist. No one will win this war.

Rocky??

Amish??? You mean “black”???

[rktman]

Shhhhhhhhhh! Due to black privilege, the media is forbidden from saying it outright. It tends to paint a bad picture of “groups of teens”.
