Teen Beating Victim in Seattle Says She Asked Security Guards for Help - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | February 11, 2010 | Brian

Here is a video report on a teen Seattle beating victim who says she asked Security Guards at a Seattle Metro Bus Tunnel for help, but received none as a pack of other kids beat her unmercifully. The Security Officials says they were "limited" in what they were allowed to do. There mandate was to only "observe and report."

The video of the beating, also shown in this video report, shows the girl trying to shield herself from the attackers by getting near a Security Guard, but the Guards just stand there as the girl is knocked down, kicked and beaten.

Seattle officials have begun a review to see if there needs to be a change in their policy and procedures.

Below is the more extensive video of the attack . . .

You noticed that?

Yeah, I was waiting for him to give some sort of idiotic defense of his indefensible statements.

My guess is that the uniform was about as deep as their authority went. Their rules of engagement might have prevented them from doing any more than yelling at the thugs, and manhood or not, you’re going to think twice when you’re outnumbered, unarmed and probably warned off getting physical with people.

There should have been real cops there, not just “security.”

When it comes down to the real fight, I’m there.

Helping a young woman who is being beaten IS the real fight. A man is tested in things small before he is ready for anything big.

You want a million man march so you can stand in the middle of the crowd and yell "me too". What courage! Spare me.

“Hey, you’re in Washington State, maybe you can go patrol the bad neighborhoods and tell us all how you broke up gang fights...”

Your stuck on gang fights aren't you? And detecting a slight bit of prejudice in your replies. A 15 year old black girl gets beat up and you are the only one I have read on the many forums on this video who claims it was a gang fight.

“A 15 year old black girl gets beat up and you are the only one I have read on the many forums on this video who claims it was a gang fight.”

She was getting attacked for something she was wearing by another female backed up by 15 thugs. Unless I totally heard the video wrong, that reeks of gang-related.

My life is worth more than getting killed for/over a ‘hood rat.

But you are free to do what you think is smart. Let me know how it turns out, if you can.

There was a time in America where the population that traced its roots to the British Isles and were Anglo Saxon and Scots Irish had the fortitude, tenacity and innate intelligence necessary to conquer a wilderness. This was part of their nature. But this was centuries ago, and these people do not exist anymore. I know I am being viewed as racist,and I am sorry for that, but there is certainly some veracity in types. Academia is not only populated with white leftists but there is a preponderance of black leftists as well particularly on the coasts. One of the SUNY colleges here on Long Island is known for its black leftist professors who claim that most of the blacks filling jails are set up and drivel like that. They are admitted socialists . A friend’s son went to NYU, a very pricey and prestigious school, where he studied under a “renowned” professor who daily gave out communist propaganda to assorted 18 year olds. Of course, most students are ill prepared to make any kind of response, so they either sit mute or are swayed to the left. I believe that it is the parent’s duty to train up their children to know the truth and how to defend it; that is the only way to persevere.

“Helping a young woman who is being beaten IS the real fight. A man is tested in things small before he is ready for anything big.”

I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you win the big fight if I get myself killed/crippled/incarcerated over something meaningless.

Tell me - what exactly was the fight about? Did more than a dozen “good kids” on their way home from choir practice just decide to pounce on someone? I’m a firm believer in irony and it would be just my luck to get killed defending someone who deserved the ass-whipping they were getting. Where I live these thugs don’t joke around. They’re not very bright but they are impulsive and violent. When I can legally pack heat maybe I’ll like the odds better.

But your mileage may vary, good luck with it. Let me know how your first encounter with reality turns out, if you can.

“A MAN would stop the head-stomping attack, or die trying. Even a man in a wheelchair.”

I’m a little more selective about who I’m willing to die for these days, or even get fired or sued over especially when the legal deck is stacked against me.

Thanks for showing your true color clearly.

But you’re free to lead by example.

I have before, and I'm sure I will again.

Yes, those guards were male humanoids. NOT men.

So, now you know that one girl who was being stomped on the head after seeking help from the security guards was a "'hood rat?"

You are just making more and more pathetic excuses for cowardice.

IMHO, after reading this thread, you life ain't worth much, since you're a person who wouldn't even lift a hand to save a girl's life from being stomped away.

Not worth much at all.

Looks racial to me. Black attackers. Black guards. White victim. Nothing to see here. Just whitey getting hers.

The Kitty Genovese story was largely bullshit. Yes, a woman was murdered. No, 37 people did not sit and watch. Several calls were made to police, police did not respond, at least not in time. Most people were asleep, one was drunk.

I noticed that too - that just as Gretchen made that lament, they showed someone who DID behave as a true hero. We have the good and the bad. This was a pretty egregious case.

Oh, another thing, one reason they didn’t step in was because it was girl on girl.

Or that state fair where the father got beat to death for telling some punks to leave his 12 year old daughter alone.

I bet they didn’t “see” who it was that did it either. So much for observing and reporting.

No, but the one I would have had to put my hands on probably was, and 15-1 odds when her thug friends jumped on me wouldn’t be my idea of a winnable fight.

Yeah, tell me about how you went toe-to-toe with a dozen big teenage thugs with your bare hands.
