Northern California lawyer beaten but not robbed in New Orleans
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 12/22/2014

A California personal injury lawyer is recovering from a severe beating suffered in New Orleans, and wondering why it happened.

Bill Callaham of Sacramento said three strangers beat him unconscious without robbing him -- and he was wearing a Rolex watch and had a cellphone and hundreds of dollars in his pockets.

"I don't know if they got interrupted. I don't know if they didn't care," he told The New Orleans Advocate (http://bit.ly/1Cjrv9B). "They apparently made no attempt even to take anything from me."

I assume, if the lawyer was white, he was assaulted due to WWW.....Walking While White.

And, as this lawyer found out, simply walking across the street when a white person sees three black thugs er teens approaching will do them no good. He was across the street, and the teens “angled over” to his side of the street. The only thing that would have saved him from a beating is either is was (a) very large (b) a martial arts expert or (c) he was armed. I’d prefer to be armed.

Doesn’t seem likely. Somebody followed him from CA to NO for revenge?

If they had taken his Rolex, then he would have been traumatized.

Who could possibly be angry at a lawyer?

Never mind.

More likely no more complicated than a phone call.
