Police ask help in finding assault suspects

Two veterans of the Iraq war were among those savagely beaten recently in Pioneer Square by a group of men.

Now, Seattle police are looking for the attackers. On Wednesday, they released a videotape of the attack filmed by a witness and still photos captured from the tape.

"We are hoping the public can offer some assistance," police spokesman Sean Whitcomb said.

The assault happened just past 2:30 a.m. on July 31, police reported.

A group of people were in line to enter Larry's Nightclub on First Avenue South when a man groped one of the women in the group.

Her friend, another woman, confronted the man, and he groped her as well.

Just guessing but his name is probably Leroy or Tyrone, or maybe Kwaesi.

Has anyone else noticed in the video that it looks like there is another guy video-taping the beating, as well? A guy in a jersey with the number "11" on the back is holding something out that looks like either a video camera or may be a cellphone camera.

OMG. This is what they did to our soldiers when they returned from Vietnam. This is making me sick. Literally.

Well, you know, she didn't give him his "props". He was just trying to be a "playa". She shoulda "kept it real", cause he was only tryin to "represent".

Yet another useless human. That type, which seems to be more and more common, make me sick.

He's most probably not a Muslim, but most definitely is lethal injection fodder.

There are two ways you can identify a moron: (1) they light a match to see if there's any gas in the tank; and (2) they grope women who are standing right next to their husbands.

This is just horrible! How come I am just hearing about this? Ooooo the media in this country make me so angry. I'd love to be in Seattle. I'd get a gang of my own (I'm from Texas and my gang consist of some big corn fed boys we call bubba's) and go hunt those thugs down and give them the beating they deserve. Things like this sure cut down on my Christian beliefs on revenge being the Lord's. I am so angry I could just scream right now. No media coverage makes me just as mad as well. Reminds me of the lack of coverage on the Wichita massacres. AAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHH. sorry 'bout that.

This sort of thing happens over and over again in Seattle. With apologies to all Seattle FReepers and other conservatives, it is the people of Seattle who are responsible for these continuing outrages because they simply refuse to face up to what they are dealing with. Thugs repeatedly commit brazen acts of thuggery in the heart of Seattle's most populous nightlife district because they know that they will not be held accountable. People get murdered and then the "reverends" come out and blame the police and law-abiding white people for "disrespecting" blacks generally, which apparently causes some blacks to commit these crimes they otherwise would not have. As soon as the "civil rights" pimps point the finger back at whitey, Seattlites slink off to hide in their "shame." Until taxpaying, law-abiding Seattlites unapologetically call a thug a thug and a demogogue a demogogue, and demand accountability from their elected leaders, then they will continue to be treated like jailhouse "bitches" because that is exactly what they are. Grow a spine, people!

Do not change the headline from that in the original source. You have been here long enough to already know that.

You already know the answer.

If I knew, I wouldn't have asked. But since you appear to know the answer, let's hear it.
