Mob of young men attacks
Man's skull fractured during beating; another attacked, robbed
Police suspect a mob of 20 to 30 young men who brutally attacked a motorist in Mount Clemens on Saturday may also be responsible for at least two other violent crimes that took place the same night.
Four people were taken into custody for questioning and police Sunday were hoping to interview a man who was beaten unconscious during the ordeal and was hospitalized with a fractured skull.
"This certainly was a frightening incident," Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said.
The trouble began late Saturday and into early Sunday starting on North River Road near the Macomb Daily building when more than two dozen men wearing ball caps and baggy shorts blocked traffic in the street as they spread out in the street.
A 29-year-old female motorist attempted to drive past the crowd in the street and someone in the mob threw a brick at the car window. The car stopped and a man got out to see what had happened.
"At that point at least 12 of the subjects jumped on him, beating and kicking him several times to the point where he was unconscious," Hackel said. "A second man then got out of the car and also was attacked but not nearly as bad as the first individual."
The victim who was badly beaten was identified by WDIV-TV (Channel 4) as Andy Kauffman. He was reported to be in serious condition at Mount Clemens Regional Medical Center, according to hospital spokeswoman Diane Kish.
Kauffman's wife, Angelina, was quoted by the TV news report as saying she had no idea why the crowd attacked her car. "It just happened to be us, I guess," she said.
Meanwhile, sheriff's deputies were called to a Marathon gas station on North Gratiot about 30 minutes later to respond to a call of a fight progress.
At the gas station a man was beaten and robbed of his cell phone and wallet, Hackel said. The victim was not seriously hurt.
On Sunday, workers at the gas station said the man was confronted near a pay telephone. When the gas station attendant saw what was happening, he locked the front door. An employee said workers had to wash the man's blood from the door Sunday.
Police also are investigating to see whether a similar incident at Rec Bowl on Crocker Boulevard may be related to the same group of attackers.
"We had a rash of similar incidents all within about an hour's time frame," Hackel said. "There is a carnival going on at Gibraltar Trade Center which is where we believe the this group had been congregating before the trouble broke out."
Police said four suspects were taken into custody on charges of disorderly conduct. Investigators want to talk with anyone who may have information on the incidents.
Tips may be phoned in to the sheriff's office at (586) 469-5151.
CCW and a will to use it will put a quick end to this third world thuggery.

This is why I always carry spare magazines.
I didn’t see any video...JFK
Don’t worry...Barry Obama is comming to power, soon these kinds of things will be a thing of the past.
Saw a security video camera picture of these thugs in the Detroit Free Press...they were not white suburbanites.
I see the Amish are at it again.
Thugs in street that mean you harm + you in your car = bowling pins + bowling ball
A few tire tracks across these criminals might get them to re-think their philosophies.

Now Andy did you hear about this one
Tell me are you locked in the punch
The trouble began late Saturday and into early Sunday starting on North River Road near the Macomb Daily building when more than two dozen men wearing ball caps and baggy shorts blocked traffic in the street as they spread out in the street.
At this point is when individual citizens need to do what it takes to ensure the security of themself . Be willing to go farther than the enemy .
Hate crimes? Naw, just “random” attacks where the victims are White and the thugs are black.
I won’t watch the video, or even read more than the headline. Go to Glenn Beck on line today to see graphic pix of what is going on at our Southern border, and you will agree with me that the Time is growing short; that Satan is working triple time to do his evil - including the American Presidential Election and our Congress which is intent on destroying America!
When are good men going to stand up and do something about it?
I wonder why the “descriptions” of the thugs and victims didn’t include any MEANINGFUL identity clues?????
Like RACE!
Is there ANYWHERE on the planet, where the black population exceeds 30% that isn’t living in a lawless or impoverished state?
In fairness - exclude those places in the U.S. and elsewhere where they are fully supported in every respect by the taxpayers.
Time to put God back into the schools.
Oh, and while we’re on the subject:
If a threatening mob of black dudes throws a brick at your car. Do NOT “step out to see what’s going on.”
Just a little tip from your uncle Reginald Denny.
