Police are trying to identify a gang of men who are beating couples with baseball bats and robbing them in downtown Denver.
Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said there have been two attacks, each involving the robbery of a couple leaving restaurants or bars at closing time.
Just before 2 a.m. on July 16, a couple was walking home from a restaurant-bar near East 10th Avenue and Pennsylvania Street when they were surrounded by a group of men, according to a police report.
wo men wielding baseball bats hit the man and woman in the head, "causing major bruising and swelling," the report said. Then a robber grabbed the woman's purse.
The man and woman were transported to Denver Health Medical Center for treatment, police said.
On June 26 near 1000 Broadway, a couple was in an alley near their vehicle when a group of men walked up and "assaulted them with a baseball bat and demanded money," a police report said. The robbers grabbed the woman's purse and ran to a waiting car, police said.
The attackers are “not nice people," Jackson said.
Police describe the attackers as four to five black men, ages 18 to 21 years.
I’m surprised these couples aren’t using their baseball bats to defend themselves...
Ban baseball bats!
When bats are banned only Bats will have bats!
Shouldda thrown 'em a basketball....
When I read the headline I thought for sure it was those damn Amish youth again. I was surprised with the last line of the article which describes the suspects as black males aged 18 to 21. Black males aged 18-30 are less than 3% of the entire US population. They can’t account for that much crime. Can they?
And they say there are not enough blacks in baseball these days. . . .
Hopefully the next people they hit with the baseball bats will be armed with a 357 magnum and read to them from the book.
The Basball Furies.
The Baseball Furries.
The Baseball Furies.
Wow that was bad.

Don’t bring a bat to a gun fight.
Oh, very astute observation, idiot.
Did they shout again about “white folks allus havin’ alla da munny?”
Remember the paintings of 17th century New Englanders carrying guns to church?
Remember the Wild West shootouts?
Such as that will be very mild compared to what will come.
The American people had better wake up--and fast!
Get two....they are small.
CCW rules say you can’t carry in places serving alcohol....
I don’t drink much...but the only reason I go into town is to go to sporting events or restaurants that serve.....
