KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- An out-of-town couple visiting a sick child encountered an unruly mob following the St. Patrick's Day parade.

KMBC's Chris Nagus reported that two cars with two different couples were on the way to Children's Mercy Hospital when another car cut between them.

One of the drivers asked the cutting driver not to block them. Then, things got out of control when a mob came out of nowhere, Nagus reported.

"Just a whole bunch of people rushed the car. I was thinking 20 girls; my husband said more like 30," said Michelle Essig, who was driving to the hospital when the people stormed her car. "They opened up my car door and started punching my friend, who just had a C-section three weeks ago."

Well this isn't very festive.

My "Save the Whales" bumper sticker keeps me out of situations like this.

The mob maybe, saw the "Bush-Cheney" and "Choose Life" bumper stickers and decided that civil discourse wasn't an option...

"I was thinking 20 girls; my husband said more like 30,"

Dozens of women mobbing my car... that's the story of my life.

It would get nation wide attention if the races were reversed, as it is, this will be the only story we'll see.

"I took great offense to the stuff they were yelling. It seemed to be a racially-motivated thing," Essig said.

"'You white b's, you racist b's.'

Shooting the first four or five would have cooled off the crowd a bit.

"Essig called 911 after the attack, but she could not give a good description of any particular person in the crowd who rushed her car -- only that many of them were wearing green."

Yup, those Irish all look alike, I guess.

I have a feeling that not one of the girl-mob of 20 to 30 St. Patrick's Day revelers was named Bridget or Colleen, either....

The Girl Gangs of St. Louis!

They're souped up for thrills and there's no limit to what they'll do!

[RGRX]

Not a snowballs' chance in hell that'll happen

[ncountylee]

Heck, they would be gone before the first one hit the ground. All that smash and run training would kick in.

LOL

Shooting the first four or five would have cooled off the crowd a bit.

Sadly, it's getting to the point that it might be necessary. There are so many idiots in this country now that think they can do whatever they want, whenever they want with total disregard for the law that drastic measures might be needed in the future.

Pagans against St. Patrick?

[willyboyishere]

The GIrl Gangs of St. Louis!

More like the Black Amazon Gorilla Women of
Kansas City.

But on the face of it, nothing in this story makes sense.

Um you might want to get a Malcolm X or Louis Farrakkan is my hero bumper sticker in this nighborhood.

Did you read the whole article?

[freepatriot32]

police have put out an A.P.B. on shamikwa O'jackson who is considered armed and dangerous and may have ties to the I.R.A.

>>>"Did you read the whole article?"<<<

Didn't read it at all, I'm not a tourist nor do I act like one, I have 4 wheel drive, a Cummins Diesel and little concern for those that wish me harm.

6,000lbs rapidly accelerating trumps good ol Malcom or Mothership Farrakan every time.

[Global2010]

Just noting that the Save the Whales bumper sticker may have not helped with 30 black girls screaming You White B******s.

Sounds like you have the right tools regardless.

Just might want to consider a wider variety of bumper stickers, just in case.

I'm sure they are all products of the award winning KCMO school district.
