Motorist who struck boy [and stopped to help] critical after mob attack
Washington Post ^ | 03 April 2014

DETROIT — A suburban Detroit man was in critical condition Thursday with severe head injuries after a neighborhood mob beat and kicked him when he stopped to check on a 10-year-old boy who stepped from a curb into the path of his pickup.

The 54-year-old man, whose name was not released, was being treated at a Detroit hospital as police scoured the east side neighborhood where he was attacked Wednesday afternoon. The boy, David Harris, was expected to recover from his injuries, according to Desmond Key, who said he was the 10-year-old’s uncle.

The driver — who lives just north of Detroit in Macomb County’s Roseville — wasn’t at fault in the accident, said Detroit police Sgt. Michael Woody.

“A preliminary investigation shows the kid stepped off the curb in front of him,” Woody said. “No way he could have stopped in time.”

Detroit.

An unincorporated region hostile to civilization.

Folks, go up to two or three hours out of your way to avoid going through african american communities.

If you have to go to an african american community, find a new job or hobby.

That’s your racist moment of the day.

Sad statement but 100% true. This sort of behavior is becoming the norm, not the exception in these communities.

When they find the 6 or 7 attackers, Obama’s going to take them all out for a beer. For reconciliation.

This “uncle” says his “main focus” is on his lightly injured nephew (as opposed to the man who was nearly kicked to death and will likely be permanently disabled). That man is a SAVAGE!!!

Detroit has reverted to tribal instincts.
No law, no order.

New and improved Knock Out Game:

Hit them and its a beating and I surance settlement.

Screech to a halt and they “have won the game”.

So they win both ways.

His best bet was to lock his doors, take off, call it into 911, and ask for directions to the nearest police station.

Then call his wife and have her get a lawyer.

Armchair quarterbacking.

Five years ago, I drove from FL to WA, a drive I actually enjoy. A detour thru St. Louis sent me thru what seemed to be Mogadishu. Scary, especially for a woman alone.

I love road trips, but I never stop for any reason near an urban center. I agree, St Louis is scary.

I believe you are correct. Sticking around, alone and unprotected, in an urban neighborhood is never an acceptable option if one prefers to remain alive and intact. Leave the area and contact the authorities as quickly as possible.

In my limited and pitiful existence (59 yrs.),
I've had guns pulled on me,
Knives pulled on me,
and chased by Muggers,

By population segments determined by two parameters
1) Ages 16-25
2) Black Males

I grow eyes in the back of my head
when those conditions are met

I wish it wasn't true, but it is...
Wishing doesn't change my personal experiential database
And does not fix my "Bias"

Nope, never watched it. Does it take place in Mogadishu, MO?
