MILWAUKEE -- At least 15 young people dragged a motorist out of his car and kicked and punched him, causing severe head trauma, after he honked his horn to get them to move out of a street, police said.
It was the latest in a series of mob beatings in the city.
The 50-year-old man was in critical condition Tuesday and it was unclear whether he would survive, police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said.
Schwartz said the man was driving alone on the city's north side late Monday when he honked at the group of young people in the middle of a road.
"Instead of moving they surrounded the vehicle," and kicked and beat him, she said.
"They left him for dead and when we showed up he was lying in the street," she said.
Officers hadn't made any arrests Tuesday, she said.
It was unclear where the man was going or if he lived in the area, she said.

sounds like absolute justification for any future incidents of this kind, wherein the motorist hits the gas instead of the horn.
Why can't we go back to the old days, when cops shot people after dark like they're supposed to, and the bus drivers weren't the first people to leave town before a hurricane struck? Ah the heck with that. Bring on ROBO Cop!
I prefer an unconcealed 12 gauge myself; being attacked then would be justifiable grounds for protecting yourself from an insane person.
Algerian muslim blacks
We know what that means. Whitey didn't do the crime.
Yup. Exactly
Welcome to the Peoples Republic of Wisconsin. Your analysis of the avoidance of any ethnic information is entirely correct. Who would you find in the middle of the street in Milwaukee? Democratic voters ( at least the live ones)
This would seem to argue against evolution.
The black hoodlums and thugs took over Milwaukee many years ago. I am glad I no longer live there.
Milwaukee is highly segregated, blacks extremely segregated from whites, hispanics segregated from blacks and whites, etc. It could have been anyone.
Other "Youth crimes" in the region include-
In September 2002, more than a dozen people, mostly young boys, chased a man through the streets and beat him to death with shovel handles, rakes and tree limbs.
A man with schizophrenia died after being beaten and robbed by a group in July 2004. Six teens were charged; one was convicted, charges against four were dropped and one is awaiting trial.
Four days after that attack, a 14-year-old boy was kicked, punched and hit on the head with a piece of lumber after he exchanged words with a girl, who summoned older relatives. He was in a coma for two weeks. Also that summer, four brothers were beaten by a group armed with bats, bottles, sticks and socks stuffed with canned food.
Nice place. No longer Home of the beer keg carrying "Crusher", who make Milwaukee famous during the early days of wrestling.
The beating is similar to a rash of group violence that took place last year when there were four beatings in four weeks, leaving one man dead and three others seriously injured. None of the beatings was related.David Rutledge, a 54-year-old man with schizophrenia, was robbed and beaten on July 4, 2004. He later died. Six teens were charged. One was convicted, four had charges dropped and one is awaiting trial.
Four days later, a 14-year-old boy was kicked, punched and hit in the head with a piece of lumber after he had exchanged words with a girl on a playground. She summoned older relatives, who allegedly beat the boy.
Two weeks later, a Milwaukee man was beaten by a group of men after a girl in the neighborhood falsely accused him of indecently touching her.
And finally on July 29, 2004, a 16-year-old boy and his brothers were beaten by a group armed with bats, bottles, sticks and socks stuffed with canned food, after someone with the victims called someone a "faggot."
Just another day in the "oppressed" community. No mention of the race of the whuppee, but it did say he was from Milwaukee. High probability is that he was black as were his attackers.
Next time.....
He should've stepped on the gas and ran em down!That kinda trash would not be missed.
It's only sensible to lock the doors when you drive through a bad part of town.
When I commuted into Manhattan I would get off the Deegan and cross over on the Willis Avenue Bridge, rather than pay the toll on the Triboro Bridge. But in that direction you have to go three blocks through a bad neighborhood to reach the bridge. I not only locked the doors, I made sure I was never parked in waiting for a red light, where someone might come out and approach the car while I couldn't move it.
A mob can get you out of a car by breaking the windows, but only if you are parked in and can't move.
"...the group of young people..."
It's those dastardly Youths again!
Where did the cops get this information?
From the guy himself?
From witnesses?
From what?
How do we know he just honked the horn?
How do we know that the crowd who beat him, didn't know him personally?
Is there any information here that can be verified?
It seems like there is no source here, and everyone has already come up with their own conclusions.
FWIT, I can't imagine going anywhere with my car doors unlocked, and if people started to surround my car, I'd lock my doors, which is why this whole story sounds like B.S.
You're probably right on all counts.
Reverse first, to get some of the ones behind you, then forward for a better run at those in front. Repeat as necessary.
