CHARLESTON, SC - Police say between 11:30 p.m. Saturday night and 1 a.m. Sunday morning, a group of at least 15 teens assaulted several people. News 2's Travis Rice spoke exclusively to a woman that confronted the juveniles during the crime spree.

Kathleen Russell says "It was like swarms of bees I guess all where it just kind of comes in and they're all yelling and screaming and then I've never seen so many police men coming down the street and the kids would disperse real quickly." Kathleen lives downtown Charleston and has had to tell late nighters to quiet down before. She says "The college kids would say ooh I'm sorry miss and be quiet and in this case their was quite a different response"

Saturday was a different story, Russell says more than a dozen teenagers terrorized her street. She says "they we're angry and we're like this is what we're going to do."

One teenager tried to take Russell's cell phone, knocking it to the ground where another juvenile tried to grab it again.

Kathleen said "the girl in front of me took a belt off and said lady, you're gonna get it, you're gonna really get it."

The group eventually left Russell alone, but not others. Police say a group of kids snatched a purse from a woman near Rutledge and Cannon on Saturday night.

Later, Police responded to Vanderhorst and Coming where five men told Police that teens assaulted them.

Police say no one was seriously injured, but Russell wonders what's next for the young group. She said, "I saw this group and I envisioned them - what's gonna happen in 10 years."

She says “they we’re angry and we’re like this is what we’re going to do.”

The story is bad enough but on top of it the writer is illiterate. That sentence alone would have caused a person to flunk fifth grade English back in the fifties. I thought it was bad when people lost the ability to distinguish between there, their and they’re but now they don’t know were from we’re, not to even mention all the other things wrong with that sentence. I propose that we return to teaching English in school...if there is anyone left who is qualified to teach it.

Right now we can conceal carry with a license. What was passed but isn’t all the way through the process is a plan to allow conceal carry with out a license. To get a license you attend an 8 hour class ($80). The license is 50 bucks and it’s good for 4 years. You can renew online every 4 years. We do not have open carry so the State is considering just allowing us to conceal carry without any stipulation.

“Damnit, when is whitey going to start gunning them down, rather than empowering them with confidence of no retaliation.”

When that happens we get martial law, just what the Obama
wants.

If you don’t live in Charleston or if you aren’t on Free Republic, you probably wouldn’t know about this.

I live here and this is the first I've heard of it.

True, but some of the 'autocorrect' gibberish around here makes me cringe.

Yeah, stories like this are seen as bad for tourism, I’m sure.

All this talk of teens causing problems, makes us think that Eddie Haskell is playing tricks on Beaver.


Yep, “hijincks”. Not racist assault and thuggery - just teen pranks.

Nobody wants to be the first in line to their State or Federal Pen. Same reason why we keep paying taxes and don’t shoot Federal or State regulatory busybodies when they show up at our businesses.

Anyone that has the instinct to do that believes that they are alone or in a significant minority. The reverse is actually the truth. The big problem is that there is no voice to that truth.

And the decent folks in this nation do not discuss a simple, yet unpalatable truth; that a couple of hours of bloodletting by several million would enable the surviving responsible adults go on in a much better society. Certainly a better society than the vision of the anointed that has been shoved down our throats for the last 50 years.

Here is another truth; that if we all stopped paying our taxes for a year, the entire Federal, State, and Local machine would collapse.
