6 charged in attack on dad protecting daughter at Valleyfair (Thuggery in Minnesota)
Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) ^ | 7/15/08 | Abby Simmons - Staff Reporter

Posted on 07/15/2008 6:54:37 AM PDT by MplsSteve

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.

If you are "rich" and white, your life means nothing to black gangbangers:
Two [black] teens charged with murdering two [white] men outside a Christian music studio in Garland [Texas] on Thursday admitted to killing and robbing Matthew Butler and Stephen Swan.

The suspects' jailhouse interviews on Monday revealed shocking details of the crime and included cussing aimed directly at the victims' families.

James Broadnax and his cousin Demarius Cummings are each charged with capital murder.

Broadnax on Monday said he and Cummings smoked marijuana and took a bus to Garland in order to commit a robbery.

"One of the best spots is Garland because that's where all the rich, white people stay at," Broadnax said.

The 19-year-old said he and Cummings spotted the victims outside the Zion Gate recording studio and approached them, asking for a cigarette before opening fire and taking off in the victims' car.

"I had this little pistol or whatever … shot they bitch head. Popped in their shit and rolled up," he said.

Broadnax said his life has been hell and that he did not regret the killings. In fact, he cussed the victims' families.

"F--- them. Straight up," he said before breaking down in tears and abruptly ending his interview.

Source (with video interview)
Butler owned Zion Gate, and Swan was his chief engineer and best friend.

Butler's wife Jamie said the studio and music were her husband's passions.

She had spoken to him around 12:30 a.m. and he told her they were wrapping up for the night. Not long after, she received a phone call from police informing her that her husband was dead.

Jamie had a message for the person who took away her husband and the father of their children.

"I hope that whoever did this that they would come to know Christ," she said.

"I hope and pray that my husband gets a chance to meet them in heaven and gets a chance to shake their hand and gets a chance to forgive them himself."

Personally, I’d have told her to run... If get the sh#+ kicked out me, but my wife and daughters get away, I’ll call it a “win” from my hospital bed or even from the morgue.

You’re not helping B-Chan. I’m looking for flight tickets to the Czech Republic right now.

T.S. - you might be surprised at how many CCW holders selectively self-enforce the various gun bans. As a Texas judge and CHL holder, I’m happy to be exempt from the restrictions on concealed carry.

I know CCW sounds good and all but how are you going to shoot these thugs in a public place?

Well, it sounds like he got jumped from behind. But, if you carry, you better be prepared to use it. It's not a piece of jewelry. That means you practice.

I would hope here in OK...that if I got jumped from behind with other people all around..some other person "carrying" would help me out.

Plus ... you’ll be labeled a racist or worse for shooting at these poor youths who had a hard life.

The heck with "their hard lives"...Better a "racist" than DEAD!!

I don’t know anymore.

I certainly suggest you figure it out.

The Chan Clan is also moving to Europe in a few years. The village we’re moving to is so far off the beaten track that they still think they’re fighting the Kaiser.

Lethal injection is too good for these thugs.

They ought to use thugs like in medical experiments.

I know that at least when I was in the Czech Republic I felt completely safe and at home. My wife wandered all over Czech cities and I felt fine about it. But here, I won’t let my wife go out at night. And even during the day I don’t feel comfortable. Are you planning on moving for safety reasons and to raise a family in the spot you picked out?

A sad, simple fact of urban life, anywhere in the USA: it is unsafe to be in places frequented by young Black males. No, not ALL are thuggish, violent or criminal. But enough are that there is a high probability of being attacked, robbed, violated or killed. Most effective form of protection is self segregation in pleasant, law abiding, non-diverse suburbs. Just stay away from these people. Sorry, but it is true.

“if you carry, you better be prepared to use it. It’s not a piece of jewelry. That means you practice”

Thanks! This is one of those “obvious” statements that too many new CHL holders don’t think about. Shooting once and learning what can get you arrested is not preparing you to defend yourself. I don’t shoot as much as I should, but put about 50 rounds a month through my Sigma .40 cal.

It was a hard painful conclusion for me too and I agree. I came to that conclusion on my own when I was thinking one day about the areas that I feel safe in and those that I don’t. And coupled that with crime stats and the news (my brother is a cop) and then with all the diversity nonsense, I arrived at this point. I just want to raise my family in peace.

I wasn’t suggesting that we NOT take resposibility for our personal safety and that of our families.
This is a political forum as well, and sometimes we have the right to demand that our government do something that is in within their mandate for a change.

this is why we need more Russian and Serbian and Bosian and Korean immigrants...these people do not take this stuff lightly and there would be more fighting back...

on one of those true crime shows, it had video of two incidents , both with black perps....both times the one being attacked or robbed fought back and won the fight....both times the intended victims were Russkies....
