If you hadn’t put the guy’s name in the title, I wonder how many would have clicked on the title hoping it was Justin Bieber?

Here are a couple of his hit songs. (I posted it because it seems to be another in a string of random attacks throughout the US.)

Gavin DeGraw is a songwriter-singer. He grew up in upstate New York where his dad was a prison guard. Some of his music was part of the sound track for the tv show “One Tree Hill”.

Pianist / singer. I saw him in concert a few years ago; he was one of the openers for Aerosmith. He was pretty good.

Only a broken nose and a few minor cuts, it could have been a lot worse. Stumbling around the mean streets at 3 am does not seem to be very safe thing to do, unarmed anyway.

Doesn’t matter who it is.. gang of thugs out Clockwork Oranging’ the populace deserves a ‘Quick Exit’ aka summary whacking. what legal rights do they deserve. I’m sorry , they choose to be destroyers, then mete them out that same fate. Maybe a lesson will be learned by some in the hordes of anarchists.

from philly to London to Manhattan.. wild dogs masquerading as ‘unemployed’ and idle yout’s must be stopped .. or the few feeble protections society provides is lost to us all.

It’s going to get much worse, IMHO.

Be prepared.

Any physical description of the “perps.” After all maybe a description would help in their detection and arrest.

I’m assuming he’ll no longer be a liberal. Sometimes it takes a mugging or two.

I haven’t a clue who DeGraw is but I’m fascinated by the way that the word “thug” has attached itself to his story. Both the NY Post and one of the alphabet networks this AM characterized his attackers as “thugs”. Now, I can see that from the Post - they’re not shy - but for an alphabet talking head to say “thugs” was curious. DeGraw must be very special.
