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.

Valley Fair = Gun Free Zone
In this felony charge, Devondre Quamaine had back-up identified by initials TLA. It’s reasonable to surmise that it is the same Terry Arnold named in the Valley Fair assault charge.
What clearer picture? Three of them were named Evans...?
I have to admit that the names did not help much.
However, Googling the names yielded a hit that shows that one of the Evans, Anthony Gildersleeve and Terry Arnold were all black males with prior records:
Obviously Welshmen.
I didn't read the article, but I am assuming the perps are probably Lutheran farm kids from small town Minnesota.

Well, there is a solution, but apparently Americans don’t have the stomach for it. This is clearly anti-social behavior, and anyone who was participating in it should be given the death penalty. It will serve as a deterrent at least for such blatant behavior (it is amazing they did this in full view of witnesses—that should scare the hell out of us all) and in addition, they will never EVER do it again.
My prayers for the family. What a brave Dad. Wish there were more like him and less like the attackers.

We never know when one of these savages will be present so we carry. If that had been my daughter that savage would have become a bloodstain. let him call his other bloodstains.
I suppose it doesn’t help growing up having a name like Devondre Quemaine. Seriously, why would anyone name a child something like that?
I woulda thought Minneapolis unlike the Northeast and Dixie and basically everywhere else was fairly safe from black racism?
I guess not.
I bet this would have been unheard of 30 years ago. A group of black thugs beating a man down for protecting his daughter.
This what you get when society ALLOWS a segment of the culture to father children over and over for years and years with no daddys in the rearing.
Shrinks would probably say they were trying to beat their own daddy to death for abandoning them. (not making excuses)
We live in a culture where this sort of thing is celebrated. They probably got high fives all around in jail.
“Yo, main...we beat that old cracker MFer down good....”
I myself nearly had an incident like this at Opry Mills in Nashville 4 years ago with wife, daughters and infant in tow.
I had to lick my nuts...there was no choice. Too many to fight. Firearm not an option with family in the middle. Quick exit was all I had.
Savages....plain and simple. Just like Knoxville...and still the media gives it a pass and pasty little meterosexual boys at MTV still want to be like them.
What a country.
The punk wouldn’t have been able to make a phone call if he’d grabbed my daughter like that. Might not have shot him, but he’d have been the unconscious one laying on the ground first.
why did the wife just stand there?
that’s part of why i love my wife. to start, i’d have had to fight my wife for the right to beat the crap outta the guy for touching our daughter. then as more guys came up, she’d have been right next to me curb stomping them.
Another blessed gift of DIVERSITY & MULTI-CULTURALISM.
This story makes me nervous because I have 4 daughers. And to get beat down or even humiliated in front of your daughers and wife would almost be psychological torture, I think.
This man has bleeding on the brain! I hope they charge all of them with attempted murder, not just assault. And I hope they charge the first man that grabbed the little girl with sexual assault on a child. Why do I have a feeling they will plead out to some lame probation sentence.
There were at least six men jumping her husband, and she had her daughter there? What was she supposed to do, other than protect her child? Don't blame the victims of this barbaric act.
Our troops, although quite a few were lost, figured out how to handle them there in Somalia on that fateful day and sendt hundreds, probably thousands of them out of this world where they could not practise their violence on any more innocents. These six deserved the same.
God bless that father for portecting his daughter, would that he had been carrying when confronted by these aniumals.
is it? I haven’t been there in years.
too bad. guess I won’t be ever.
I know CCW sounds good and all but how are you going to shoot these thugs in a public place?
Plus ... you’ll be labeled a racist or worse for shooting at these poor youths who had a hard life.
I don’t know anymore.
Pardon my ignorance -- Does 'CAPRS' refer to a previous criminal record? I've never seen the term before.
