The father of a 12-year-old girl who tried to keep a young man from groping his daughter at a popular Shakopee amusement park was seriously hurt late on July 4 after he was allegedly kicked and stomped by a group of men in an attack police called "brutal."
The attack on the unnamed man, which happened just outside Valleyfair Amusement Park, resulted in charges against at least six Twin Cities-area men. They were among several people the initial attacker called on his cell phone to summon them to join the assault.
The group beat up the father as his wife and daughter looked on, police said. The man was seriously injured and unconscious when police arrived.
"We see assaults, but that's brutal," Shakopee police Sgt. Jay Arras said.
Arras said the man and his family were leaving Valleyfair shortly before midnight on July 4 when a man "tried to grab the 12-year-old girl in a sexual manner" near the park exit, the father later told police.

These thugs need to go to jail for a LONG time.
I agree.
Welcome to America 2008.
Hate to see what it’ll look and be like in 10 years.
Even more out of control I suspect.
I’d agree to your punishment too. But, just because the supreme court decided it was cruel and unusual doesn’t mean they’re right. If we would use the death penalty when appropriate we could cut our prison population down to a reasonable number AND get teh worst of the worst out of our hair.

Send me a check for the ammo! I shoot at an indoor range and at 20 bucks a box (can’t use reloads, can’t bring in your own ammo even if it says “indoor”), I’d be sleeping in my car if I shot 1000 rounds/mo!

The definition of low-cost housing can get silly. They are putting up 30 or so townhouses next to us in NW DC at an average price of about $1.2 million. DC law requires 3 of those units to be "low-cost"- which means they can cost no more than 2/3rds the average. Yeah, $800K is "low-cost."
“why did the wife just stand there?”
What good is a woman when dealing with six men? Unless she is armed she is worth very little. Best for her and the daughter to stay out of harms ways and try to get help.
That it's just gang violence. It doesn't look that way to me. It looks like black youth on white violence that ha sa racial component to it. I've been living it down here going on 20 years or so now....a big change from my youth.
It's endemic and no one calls them on it. Instead the media (which they are disproportionately represented in according to Coloring The News/McGowan) still rolls with white or colonial racism which is all but dead itself.
Take the last 30 years...
.off my head I can recall 3 incidents of white tuffs killing or beating severely blacks for the crime of being black etc.
......Howard Beach bent-noses whip some blacks whose car breaks down on the BQE I think...one runs in the freeway and is killed....the media howls
again shortly after in Brooklyn some black kid is killed again in an Italian enclave for squiring a white chick
the James Byrd incident.....nuff said there for anyone over 12
I'm sure there have been others but juxtapose that with the daily barrage of blacks attacking whites and always at high odds and beyond just a fair ass whipping
and who says diddly?
just old crackers like me that remember when whites had stones...but doing so labels me a racist.
I don't care anymore though which is liberating to tell the truth
THE TRUTH IS NEVER RACISM....I welcome Obama's candidacy...let's talk candid shall we?
I didn't mean to put you down as "unAmerican." I have a tendency to get prickly when I hear of folks abandoning the country. I have Polish and Italian (and Italians are ethnically/racially diverse to begin with) dna, but don't feel any connection to either country, as I know real Italians and Poles, and their relative strengths and weaknesses. I am staying put to fight the good fight.
America is more than just section 8ed nabes in Texas. Even in the blue states, there are several places you can live and feel safe walking around. Plus, I have learned that fear is an enemy to be conquered. I don't take unnecessary risks, nor do I back down either.
“And I hope they charge the first man that grabbed the little girl with sexual assault on a child.”
You need to get your PC Diversity training again. Blacks do not commit crimes. These are black youths - they are justified in their hate. Sheesh you need to start reading the NYTimes more. sarcasm off
The same crime can get you shot (legally) where I live. (Florida.)
This is a big reason why I left Cali for north Florida. CCW!
Well I’m happily married with 4 daughters. And LORD willing more on the way. So I’m not interested in their women, LOL. I thought most of those women looked average.
Anyways, it’s been a long road to arrive at my present conclusions. I think it’s time to see things for what they are and look at new alliances.
In terms of number of votes for another Reagan we don’t have the numbers. We’re demographically outnumbered.
The gov imports lots of people from unstable, undemocratic countries who breed like rabbits on steroids. I think it’s over.
And you can’t really face gangstas because it’s always 3 or 6 on 1. Your tax money is funding Section 8 moms to pump out these thugs. I just don’t see much of a future and it keeps me awake at night. I feel anxious a lot.
For Pete’s sake, we should feel safe enough to walk down an American street!!!
I’m certainly conservative that’s for damn sure but I’m evolving my philosophy to deal with the coming collapse of Western Civilization. Scary times.
"Hate crime" laws basically exist so upper middle class latte sipping metros can say to blacks "oh no, we CONDEMN THOSE white trash people. We are not racist like they are." It may make them feel good about themselves, but they will hopefully learn sooner rather than later that black folk don't like them anymore than any other person.
Don't get me started on how the thuggocracy that has moved into Ozone Park routinely jumps any white kid they see walking down Cross Bay Boulevard or Liberty. For all the talk about the "white racists" in Howard Beach and parts of Ozone Park, there have been several incidents for many years of large numbers of blacks jumping white kids for sport that NEVER make the papers. Where the f--k was Bloomberg when a white girl was nearly beaten to death in the Flatlands section of Brooklyn two years ago for just being on the b-ball court at the "wrong time."
The indulgence of black thug culture by the white chattering class has its consequences. Maybe a few beat downs of little Cameron on the Upper East Side may change things, but I doubt it. People forget how, especially since the 1990s, Manhattanites and upper class Brooklynites live in a little protective bubble that can be popped at any time.
If I have a loaded gun in my car here in the Garden State, I am committing a felony. Open season for carjackers!
Can the Socialist babies come out to play?
I know they don't allow flare guns on the Flume.
Even more "too bad" is that his wife wasn't. Sounds like they set upon him pretty quickly and with overwhelming force, but she was just standing there watching her husband get the snot kicked out of him.
A nice .357 snubbie in her purse or fanny pack might have caused a few thugs to loose control of the organ which exits their fannies, or failing that, to suddenly acquire a few new orifices.
Is it? I looked on their website and couldn't find anything, and a quick check at usacarry.com (successor to Packing.org) didn't show any general MN prohibition on carry at amusement parks. But you would know better than I.
Yes, Pour encourager les autres , it will encourage others to act differently. Shoot 'em if you have too, but often the mere display of a firearm sends thugs scooting, sometimes dribbling brown and yellow.
Plus ... you’ll be labeled a racist or worse for shooting at these poor youths who had a hard life.
So? My wife, daughters, granddaughters (3), nieces and great nieces are worth a little public ridicule, which in Texas I would not get anyway. Here we shoot 'em for robbing our neighbors, and get no-billed by the grand jury. The cries of "racism" aside. (We do have such 'criers' unfortunately. One of them made himself the fool in the shotgun defense near Houston, when the not so dearly departed turned out to be Latin American illegals and not Black, as he'd thought.)
