If you are interested in what has already been discussed about the case.
Good Lord. Sounds like a bunch of freakin animals live in that complex.
I was in a situatio very similar to this, the difference was that a child on a bick ran into my car. The kid was fine, but was wailing and bawling. My friend and I got out to check on him and people started coming out of the apartment buildings. I looked up and it was like a swarm was descending on us.
Luckily, the police arrived very quickly and sent everyone home. The child admitted that he wasn’t even looking where he was riding and hit my car. His “parents” (I think aunt and uncle, but not sure) said he does this all the time and wasn’t even supposed to be out at that time of day.
I ended up getting of lightly, but before the police arrived I was truly scared for my life.
This article does have info not included in the other.
Glad there were no guns or knives to blame it on.
Blah, spelling is very bad today!

“Gathered for a Juneteenth Celebration”... Is there an unmentioned racial component to the story that the MSM has chosen to ignore?
The victim’s name is Hispanic... but what about the attackers?
(CBS 42) AUSTIN Austin police are investigating the death of a man attacked by a crowd in East Austin Tuesday night.
Police said at 9:31 p.m. Tuesday patrol officers responded to a “person down” call at 900 Thompson Street (map). There they found David Rivas Morales, 40, who had suffered trauma to his body. He was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead.
Police say preliminary investigation indicates that Morales was a passenger in a car that may have hit a small child in the parking lot of 900 Thompson Street. Immediately after the accident, somebody assaulted the driver of the car that struck the child. The child was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Witnesses said several black males assaulted Morales when he stepped out of the vehicle to try and stop the crowd from assaulting the driver of the car he was in. Police believe there were 2,000 to 3,000 people in the area when the driver and Morales were attacked.
The area is near Rosewood Park, where Juneteenth festivities were taking place Tuesday night.
The driver was able to leave the area in his car. Police recovered the vehicle and the driver is cooperating with Homicide detectives.
Detectives are asking anyone who may have witnessed this incident or who may have information to call the Homicide tip line at (512) 477-3588 or Crime Stoppers at (512) 472-8477. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1000 for information.
This case remains under investigation by Homicide detectives. This was the 11th murder of 2007 in Austin.
Any bets this was Section 8 (Public) Housing?
See Message #11
that parking lot sounds like a quagmire.
First, this kind of behavior is savage, but second, this will encourage people to “hit and run”.
Your post about this being a duplicate thread is a duplicate (see post above your’s).
Hit and run, or stop and die..
But will it effect next years Juneteenth?
"Juneteenth"? Can't some of these "cultures" just have one celebration that doesn't seem to involve some mob or another beating someone to death?
Never trust people who attend “festivals”.
