I suspected gang involvement. I am not surprised. The media could help us fight this gang war against innocent people (of all colors) right now by an UPROAR for protection for this girl and her little baby. I fear for her life and her baby's life.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

These 10 juvenile thugs have expensive attorneys. WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS?

What has to happen for this to make national news?

Oh, wait, I know. For it to become national news it would have to have been three innocent black girls beat nearly to death by a gang of white punks.

Johnson said that Tuesday's attack occurred just a day after one of the defense attorneys pressed the witness into describing her car, including the year it was made. She balked at the questions on Monday, but was told by Superior Court Judge Gibson Lee that she must provide the information on cross examination.

Where the hell is Jesse Jackass and the media?

This is another war we can't win because PC doesn't permit it and PC trumps everything else in the society, including the Constitution.

I bet that Jesse Jackson, et al. is paying for the perpetrators' lawyers...after all, it's supposed to be black power, getting revenge on the "evil" white people.

let us hope that said attorney is also beign investigated. I can't see why she should have to describe her car unless it is to give the crooks a clear target.

Long article.

Most of it seems to be about the [African descended] witness, not the actual racist crime.

And before you jump to conclusions such as yours, how many similar crimes occur across the country per year? (rhetorical). It could be that the media simply decided to not report another one, especially since there were no apparent deaths as a result of the crime.

Not likely. Brother Jesse is not spending any of his money on the cause. Maybe other people's money, but not his.

Ping to extreme witness intimidation by gangbangers in Long Beach hate crime. We need some outrage here, folks!

Plus, from one of the other articles on this topic which you have posted, it seems that the European-descended people were eventually helped by African-descended people: A link to one of your posts.

Could the attack simply have been because they were in a bad area and stood out, and not be rooted in people group (race)? (could be naive, or could be paranoid, depends on your point of view).

I'm certain the gangbangers don't give a damn about "outrage".

What about the L.A. Times, the only media outlet (out of the few that even reported on this story at all) to publicly state the witness's full name with NO thoughts toward her safety?

I thought we WANTED decent black people to have the courage to testify against black criminals? Now we have a black man who heroically saved these women's lives, and this witness who tried to help them after the fact and stood up to grilling by multiple, coordinated attorneys, and yet the Los Angeles Times felt it was important to repeat this young witness's name as many times as they could in their articles on the subject.

Addendum to comment 7:

Nor was the attack by police officers or others who are supposed to uphold the law. Instead it was by apparent gang members, who are stereotypically supposed to be violent. Thus, again, it is not something out of the ordinary.

the times is acting as if they WANT something to happen to the witness - so they can sell papers.

Some of us have been following the crime since it was first reported. Please follow some of the links earlier in the thread for more info on this crime.

Some police officers have said this type of crime is almost unheard of. We know of one recent mob attack (also by black perps, as it turns out) in Las Vegas like this, last summer.

Some of us think this is definitely news, of great interest sociologically, and a very good benchmark to measure the fruits of political correctness, where hate crimes are of national importance but only if whites are the perps.

Why on earth was this story relegated to chat?

Are you not familiar with the story?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1747488/posts

3 white college girls beaten severely by a black mob of a dozen chanting racial slurs, one may lose sight in an eye, lost most of her teeth and had more than a dozen broken bones in her face. Several incidents of gangs intimidating witnesses, a lawyer forces one witness to describe her car in court and a day later that witness's car is totaled by gang members as an intimidation act.

Plus the fact that the national media has ignored this story even though if it were a white gang attacking black girls the coverage would be neverending. Given how much nat'l news has been devoted lately to Michael Richards, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton (wedding shooting), the lack of coverage on this is a story in and of itself. The media double-standard for hate crimes is certainly political.

No deaths yet. The media and the Court sure seem to be facilitating the targeting of the witness.

This neighborhood is mixed and upscale. Homes are around $700K to $2mil. I was out trick-or-treating with my little kids not too far from this, though we got back by 8:30 and this attack happened around 9:30.

I would SO like to think this were not race related, but even the police have said it was wholly unprovoked by these girls, and many heard the racial taunts by these black youths as they started to pelt the girls with objects.

"It appears as though they're sending her another message," the commander said. It was following the witness' first day in court, Nov. 29, that she awoke to find six men who appeared to be gang members sitting on her car waiting for her. She was able to call police, who have since escorted her every Advertisement day that she has testified.

I am with you on the outrage. The bravery of the witnesses especially this young woman really says something about character. If they need 24 hr protection give it to them!

They will probably all be released to search for the real perpetrators.
