A Teenager is being treated in hospital for broken ribs and a punctured lung after he was attacked by a gang of Somalians in Bristol.Seventeen-year-old Andrew Webber, of Brislington, was walking back from the Avonmeads leisure park with friends on Tuesday night when he was surrounded by more than 20 men.
He had gone to the Kentucky Fried Chicken take-away and was walking to the St Philip's Causeway underpass when the gang approached him and his friends carrying belts and broken pieces of wood.
Andrew, a student at the City of Bristol College, is now in the Bristol Royal Infirmary where he is being treated for fractured and broken ribs, fractured hands, a broken arm and a hole in his lung. He also has bruises and belt marks all over body and lumps on his head.
His mother, Tracey, said she felt "disgusted" by the attack and feared for her son's health.
She said: "Andrew and his friends had gone over to Avon Meads and we on their way home at about 9pm. They stopped at KFC and were in the car park when the gang came over with belts and bits of wood. Andrew's friends ran off but Andrew saw no reason to run away but then they attacked him."
One of Andrew's friends managed to drive into the crowd. Another pulled Andrew into the car and took him to his dad's home in Kilvert Close in Brislington.
Mrs Webber, 40, said: "Andrew didn't want to come home to me because he didn't want me to see the state he was in."
Avon and Somerset police are investigating the attack but have not yet been able to interview Andrew because he is too ill. Andrew was attacked on Tuesday, the second night of violence at the retail and leisure park. On Monday around 100 people were involved in clashes between gangs of Somalian men and black and white youths. Last night police had riot vans at Avonmeads to deter gangs from going on the rampage.
Avon and Somerset police spokesman Darren Bane said: "We are keen to hear from anyone who can help us identify those responsible for the attack on Andrew. We are aware of the rising tensions in that area and last night we maintained a high-profile presence and had the helicopter up. This appears to have had a deterrent effect and there were no reports of disorder. We are having talks with local community groups."
Somalians? Oh I wonder what else they could be. Oh, I don't know. Could they be........ MUSLIMS!!!
gangs are just manifistations of tribalism. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT when you bring tribal mentalities into your neighborhood?
So are they going to keep this presence up every night?
For citizens only of course.
Dim being very dim.

Sounds like what's happening in France. Same time, same holiday they are celebrating, same thugs, same m.o.
HATE CRIME!
Oops, politically incorrect. The perps get away with it for 2 reasons. "religion" and "race".
"Where did I miss?"
Detroit?
Seems to me they should be able to identify the attackers be the tire tracks all over their bodies. I guess these boys aren't as mean as I am.

Thus far, to look on the bright side, Iceland has been largely trouble free.
These stories from the UK, France, and Australia have shown me the reason for the law.
