Woman beaten on bus
The Examiner ^ | Dec 6, 2007 | Luke Broadwater

Posted on 12/06/2007 10:55:04 AM PST by rjsimmon

As Sarah Kreager, 26, tried to sit down on a Baltimore City bus Tuesday, police say, a middle-schooler told her she couldn’t. When she attempted to take another seat, a middle-schooler wouldn’t let her. Finally, according to police, Kreager just sat down.

She was “immediately attacked” by nine students — three females and six males — from Robert Poole Middle School. They punched and kicked her at 2:59 p.m. at the intersection of 33rd Street and Chestnut Avenue, according to Maryland Transit Administration police.

Kreager was dragged off the bus and her boyfriend, Troy Ennis, attempted to get her back on, police said.

She sustained “serious injuries” and had to be transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, according to a police report.

Is there any doubt to rational people that this is a 'race' or 'hate' crime?

Cant be because Jesse and Al arent on TV talking about it.

Considering the state of the Public Education system, these 7th graders were probably in their mid-teens, thus almsot fully grown.

Just because they are in middle school doesn't mean they aren't 21. Think about it.

Yes, only white people can be racist because, and I quote, black people lack the power to impose their racism on others.

I would say a severe beating such as this and what happened at Jena would show their “power to impose their racism”.

BS, as soon as they start bleeding they will pack it in. The reason they do this crap is no one has made them pay for it.

Think like a victim, act like a victim, sooner or later you become a victim.

Too many Americans have been brainwashed by this “don’t fight back” pacifist dogma. Once you are physically attacked, all bets are off. Cowering will not save you.

The law does not permit you to strike a child.

Sorry, after the first blow is thrown, and mob mentality takes over, there are no rules, only survival.

And any DA or politician who thinks that nine thugs should be allowed to beat or murder someone unmolested simply due their age needs to be removed from office post haste.

And needs a liberal application of tar and feathers.

Any chance this’ll get Jena Six style coverage?

A tenor sax can be a handy defensive weapon, I suppose.

The kids were just defending themselves against the woman who didn’t want them next to her according to one parent:

I will take care me and mine worry about the consequences later.

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Who said I'd cower? Not in a million years, buddy. If I were that girl's boyfriend they would have had to kill me because I wouldn't stop swinging and kicking until they did.

All I'm saying is that when they travel in packs it's in their nature to be more agressive and less fearful. Honestly, I wish I were wrong.

Tall and tan and young and hopeless
The kids from the hood go walking
And when they pass, each one they pass goes – ah [don’t hurt me!]

When they walk, they’re like an army
That swings so cool and acts so brutal
That when they pass, each one they pass goes - ooh [don’t hurt me!] - ooh

Call me Mr. Efficiency, but I'd be content to skip those steps and go straight to a proper application of .00 buck shot.

Agreed, I would have put at least one of the little piss pots in the hospital if not more...
