ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) – The violent death of a 32-year-old man beaten to death with a hammer by a group of teens sparked a spontaneous protest where demonstrators blocked traffic at Gravois and Itaska Sunday night in south St. Louis.

Zemir Begic, 32, was found unconscious with apparent injuries to his head, abdomen, face and mouth in the 4200 block of Itaska at 1:15 a.m. Police say Begic was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

"I want everybody to know I take your safety and everyone in the community's safety very seriously," said St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson. "I heard your message loud and clear. You want to make sure you are safe. I want to make sure you are safe and every neighborhood in our city."

Dotson also said the strain Ferguson has put on his department is great as officers have been working 12 hour shifts and no days off, but he assured the crowd the police will be here to protect them.

According to police, Begic was in his vehicle when “several juveniles” approached his car and began damaging it. When Begic exited his vehicle the teenagers yelled and struck him with hammers.

Following the assault, the teenagers fled the scene on foot. A 15 and 16-year-old were located a short time later and placed in the custody of juvenile authorities. Police are still searching for a third suspect.

The investigation is ongoing.

The omissions from this story speak louder than the words.

I don’t post much so I’m hoping it was okay to post the entire article from this source. I searched the list of excerpt & link only or no posting before doing this.

Please adjust this post if I made a mistake, thanks!

Police are not releasing a motive...suggesting they know of one. Conservative Treehouse blog points out this is not the first time this type of senseless racially motivated carnage was visited upon this community...

Another site gives more details:

The names of the suspects have not been released, but two are in custody. Police say the suspects in custody are black males ages 15 and 16. Police are still searching for two others, a 16-year-old black male and a 15-year-old Hispanic.

Such a sad reflection on our society that people do this for fun.

So... media lying to blacks about a false narrative of black victimhood has lead to the actual murder of a white man solely because he is white.

Now, all of a sudden, the race of the perps is omitted and the national media will ignore this completely.

Because the truth is: WHITE LIVES DON’T MATTER!

This is murder, but will the looters in Ferguson care, and for that matter, Juan Williams?

The crowd must have thought the victim was black.

“Boys will be boys.”

For no damn good reason.

If this isn’t the best reason for the death sentence then there is none!

Odd....no mention as to whether or not the victim was ‘unarmed’.

Just reverse the skin colors involved and the media would be going nuts. They would mention ‘white on black hate crime’ in every paragraph and it would lead every newscast and newspaper for days.

I’m sick and tired of this crap.

People in this country may ask: "Is there an epidemic of racial violence in this country?"

The answer to this question may be found in Bill Whittle's excellent video: VIDEO: Bill Whittle: Ferguson and the Real Race War

In summary, here are the raw statistics for general violent crime Black-on-White and White-on-Black crime from the National Crime Victimization Survey (the branch of the DOJ responsible for collecting these statistics) here are the raw results for 2010:

Here is the RAW disparity between Black-on-White and White-on-Black general violent crime:

But this raw data is misleading, due to disparity in the sizes of the population. Here are the numbers that show the population totals for black and white populations in 2010:

If you normalize the statistics to take into account the relative sizes of the populations, Here are the numbers that reflect the real magnitude of Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime:

Furthermore, if you narrow the statistics shown above on violent assault (GENERAL VIOLENT ASSAULT) to a specific type of violent assault (IN THE CASE BELOW, VIOLENT AGGRAVATED ASSAULT) , the statistics that Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime take on an entirely different magnitude:

When one looks at these statistics, one can only reach the same conclusion that Bill Whittle did in his video:
"Oh, there's an epidemic of racial violence in America, all right."

Bill Whittle further accurately states:
"Critics will say that I am using these statistics to justify the murder of Michael Brown. But I said at the beginning – if Michael Brown were shot in cold blood then the police officer needs to pay the price for murder. This has nothing to do with Michael Brown. This has EVERYTHING to do with the narrative that the President, the Attorney General, and all of these race hustlers are trying to create using Michael Brown.

There is, in fact, a racial war of violence and hatred in America. Open racism is simply not tolerated in white America today, but black racism is the toxic glue that holds the progressive coalition together. Tolerance of – in fact, as we see from the events in Ferguson, open encouragement of black rage at a narrative that not only does not exist but reverses the daily outrages that do exist, is what defines modern progressivism. It is the politics of envy, anger, entitlement, lawlessness, violence and bald-faced lies.

And of all the promises broken by this man, surely none is more heartbreaking than the one promise that got him elected in the first place: the promise of a post-racial future. He and his racist progressive cohorts can never surrender the weapon that has gotten them everything, not the least of which is personal political power and trillions of dollars of redistributed wealth. And this latest outrage in Furguson is yet another example – as if another was needed among the economic wreckage, creeping totalitarianism, and foreign-policy disasters -- that he and his leftist cohorts would rather rule over ruins than disappear into the dustbin of a healthy and healed nation."

You won’t see a story on Michael Brown without “unarmed black teenager” printed before his name. Five times in the story and it’s “unarmed black teenager.” I think they put it on his tombstone.

Black perp? It’s racist to mention the perp’s race. Local news where I am will say, “The bank was just robbed at (location) and the suspects are described as two young males.” They are so PC they’ll risk the lives of the community rather than risk offending blacks by giving useful information to the public.

Further evidence that the media, more than these ferals, are public enemy #1. They must be identified and them, their families, and their employers shunned. The ferals need to be stood against a wall.

I’m not feeling the love either, quite the opposite...which is probably 0’s outcome of choice. He, and that bunch of clowns he’s using, want an all out war. Payback for the election.

What Ferguson needs is a blizzard.

Media won’t report on this since the perps are black thugs and the victim was white..you won’t see Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson screaming out “NO JUSTICE NO PEACE” instead they will be high fiving each other..remember, every dead white person is considered their version of “Social Justice.”
