Cowards.

There should have been nine youths going to hospital, not a family of three.

And the injuries must have been severe :Not life-threatening” are weasel words—the Dad had as many as nine people punching and kicking him.

The MO is similar—fast,furious and outnumber the victim, and all body parts can be hit.

The crowd should have beat these cretins to a pulp.

“Security and police both made contact with the suspects just south of Grand Avenue in the park’s entryway that is landscaped with hills and trees, Six Flags Avenue, and detained them, Ruth said. He added that witnesses told police there was an exchange of words over one of the victim’s thoughts on the group’s inappropriate behavior, which included foul language and a line issue for a ride.

“They were talking initially before a battery occurred to the child,” Ruth said. He added that the father went to his son’s aid and started to pull the offender off the boy when the father was knocked to the ground, and the group surrounded him and hit him with “punches and kicks.”

At that point, the wife tried to help her husband and son, and she also was attacked. It did not appear that anyone immediately came to their aid, “but numerous people reached out to Six Flags employees as well as calling 911,” to get them help, Ruth said.”

Generally speaking a group of black teen kids jacked up on hormones, with puffed up delusional thinking regarding their significance, you're going to have a problem under normal conditions.....put them in a crowd...add in some drug probably and looking to rumble I wouldn't get too involved either. Many have been taught to 'take' what they want. Best to avoid them or report them.

Lake news has a bit more detail...

The thugs hit the 12-year-old boy and his father intervened, trying to pull attackers off his son,..... police said.... The man was knocked to the ground and the group surrounded the man “and hit him with punches and kicks,”..... police told The Lake County News Sun...........The wife attempted to help her family and was attacked by the group as well, police said.

I remember when Magic Mountain gave a ‘summer Pass for one price for teenagers.

It became a nightmare because the Black & Hispanic parents turned it into all day ++ into night babysitting for their out of control kids. The imbalance with more & more Black & Hispanic troublemakers & fewer & fewer whites was a security problem, also.

I remember that Magic Mountain didn’t do it again.

“The crowd should have beat these cretins to a pulp.”

With 9 versus 3, if 2 join it makes it 9 versus 5. Unfortunately, in such a case, the non-normal people are more likely to join in. Businesses need to realize if they don’t provide sufficient security then the normal people will stay home and they will go out of business.

When I was a child my favorite place on earth was Fontaine Ferry Park. A rather substantial amusement park for children.

Back then it was whites only, even though it was in the West End of Louisville, KY. Very clean. Dignified. Orderly. Patrons were very well behaved.

Then in 1960 the owners decided to allow blacks to attend. Almost immediately, there were assaults, robberies, muggings and crimes committed by blacks. Black on white crime was the norm. The owners tried to hire security, etc, but by then, it was too far gone.

They closed the place in 1963.

“The crowd should have beat these cretins to a pulp.”

Er.,, in that neck of the woods “crowd” can be an iffy proposition. Lets put it this way there are a lot of the kneeling types in Waukegan.

I blame ALL the BS happening in this country on Obama. He gave feral yutes a pass by ordering the grade schools not to discipline too many minorities. I have an aquainatance who told me of his daughter, a kindergarten teacher, who was trying to discipline a 5 year old kid. The kid looked at her and ‘I don’t have to effin’ obey you, my momma told me I didn’t have to’. The young woman isn’t a teacher anymore. Until discipline and consequences return to the schools and in the home, these scenarios won’t stop. Oh, and it would be a monumental help if those in the highest reaches of Government would be held accountable for their criminal behavior, too. Why should yutes abide by the law when their ‘leaders’ can break the law with impunity?

My daughter in high school witnessed some cutting in line by members of a particular minority. One of her classmates reported it to the teachers, but nothing was done; it continued. Her classmate decided to put a stop to it, and she fought the cutters.

The school staff then made it a priority to stop people from cutting in line.

Got to hand it to this young lady.

Giving a yearly pass to young kids 10 and under maybe.

Teenagers? Oops. Not a good idea.

You know you have problems when you see groups of about ten young men (only) touring your facility.

When these groups start clashing, you’ve got trouble.

Lawsuits can help them come to their $enses.

PS - Take down those "gun free zone" signs.

The BS was already happening long before O’Dummy appeared on the scene. The BS in progress was what gave us O’Dummy in the first place.
