A U.S. Navy veteran says he was brutally beaten and robbed Saturday night while walking his dog in a Philadelphia neighborhood.
Scott Harris, 62, was left with a brain injury and required at least 100 stitches after he was beaten by a crowd of people around 11:50 p.m. in the city’s Brewerytown neighborhood, according to NBC10. “That night on Saturday, there was a huge party going on over here,” he told the outlet. “A little bit out of control but nothing terribly concerning to me. Next thing you know, I’m in the emergency room getting stitches.”
At least one individual knocked Harris unconscious and stole his wallet, the outlet reported, citing police. There was no money inside, just his mother’s driver’s license, which he’s held onto since her death. “Sadly, only thing I really cared about in that wallet was my mother’s driver’s license,” Harris continued. “She passed about 10 years ago. That’s kind of how I kept her close and now I don’t even have that.”
After serving in Iraq and Ukraine for years, Harris said he was stunned that the most brutal experience of his life would happen right here at home.
Three women helped Harris back to his home, where his partner, Joseph Hurchick, called 911, FOX29 reported. “They brought him back, otherwise I don’t know what would have happened,” Hurchick told the outlet. “We were on the stoop and he was just bleeding, I was on the phone with 911, I didn’t know where the blood was coming from, I didn’t know if he was stabbed.”
Hurchick told FOX29 that although he and Harris have complained to the police multiple times about parties and large crowds in the neighborhood, nothing has been done. “It’s going to take a murder for this to stop,” Hurchick said.
It’s the way the democrats want it
Isn’t libtardism wonderful?
Where’s your gun?
Exactly. Sad story but there is no “sorry” or empathy coming from me.
These idiots get exactly what they vote for.
For those that can’t stand it...MOVE to another location.
It’s not that tough.
The only thing that will stop, are the complaints. The critters will still act like animals without consequence, sadly.
“crowd of people”
one look at the picture of the victim
says all we need to know about the “crowd of people”
GET OUT OF PHILLY WHILE YOU STILL CAN!....................
Hoping the dog is ok.
Very liberal Navy vet apparently chose to live in that neighborhood with his “husband” and now reaps the rewards. (Retired Army Field Grade Officer)
If it was a black dog they probably left it alone.

You sound like a leftover from the Stormfront purge....

If I see more than 3 ‘people’ in my neighborhood park across the street, I don’t take my walk.
If I see it full of Latinos playin soccer, I do...............
I must have missed the description of the perps
I’ll look again
(“It’s going to take a murder for this to stop,”)
Unfortunately no, it won’t stop there.
‘People’.............................
If he had a “husband” then he was probably walking a maltese or something like that. I am not gay and don’t live in a blue hive hell hole, but if a crowd attacked me while walking my dog, it would result in my 100 lb German Shepherd going berserk on them. And me having several magazines needing reloading.
Yea, his “partner”.
Wow
