Father badly beaten after trying to protect daughter at Valleyfair

Six men remain in the Scott County jail following what police call a brutal assault on a father trying to protect his daughter.

Shakopee police say as the crowd was leaving Valleyfair Amusement Park around midnight on the 4th of July, the victim's daughter was confronted by two men.

"The 12-year-old daughter was either touched or slapped in the buttocks area," Scott County Attorney Patrick Ciliberto said. "The father confronted (the men) by yelling at them for what they had done to his daughter," he added.

Police say the two men called their friends, who were also in the park. The group of seven men and a juvenile then confronted the father.

"They beat him to the ground and then, the evidence that we have, when he was on the ground, they used their feet on him. They were kicking him in the face when he was down," Ciliberto said.

According to the criminal complaints, the men were stomping on the 41-year-old father as he lay on the ground, unconscious.

He suffered severe head injuries, including a fractured right orbital bone and possible subdural bleeding on the brain. "We don't know if there are permanent injuries yet," the County Attorney said.

Shakopee Police found the suspects in the parking lot. Seven of them were arrested and one man ran from the scene and police are still looking for him. Of the seven taken into custody, one was a 14-year-old.

The six adults charged and held in jail are Devondre Evans-Lewis, Andrew Shannon, Darris Evans, Terry Arnold, Derry Evans, and Anthony Gildersleeve.

The Scott County Attorney says several of the men have criminal histories and they are all from the Twin Cities metro area. They range in age from 18 to 22-years-old.

All six adults have been charged with 3rd degree felony assault causing substantial bodily harm.

The bottom line is this - subhuman animals like this understand one thing and one thing only - bone crushing, blood spewing force. Period. They can not and will not behave unless there is a boot on their throats constantly - no counselor, minister or presidential candidate is going to reform these scumbags. They need to each be whipped in a public square and sent to prison for a very, very long time. Cases like this makes one hunger for a return to corporal punishment for non-death penalty cases.

damn well said. a public square whipping does sound good but I would opt for the staked out over an ant hill until dead punishment.

I tend to agree. This was clearly attempted murder. How these people bailed out, should be disturbing to anyone given the nature of this brutal attack.

"Blowtorch to the nads."

Now yer talkin! Either that, or one .45 magnum round apiece to the scrotum. Nothing is worse than a cowardly gang of thugs.

When I was 22, I was jumped by 15 goons from Roslindale, Massachusetts with clubs and chains. I put 11 of the 15 in the hospital; the State Cops who responded to the scene were shaking my hand, they couldn't believe it.

The Judge gave them all a suspended sentence with 6 months probation. This was 1978.

I’m still trying to understand why any crime becomes an issue of race. I think what happened to this family is horrible, no matter their race. But because the perps have “ethnic” names people start ragging on diversity and black people. I know tons of black teenagers who make good grades and a fine members of my community. I know black boy scouts, cheerleaders, athletes, student leaders, what the hell do these a-holes have to do with black people in general?

FBI crime statistics state that blacks violently assault whites about 50X more commonly than the reverse. These are real crimes committed against real people, like the unfortunate father in this story, who just suffered a life-altering assault in front of his family's eyes. White people get their blood up from a story like this because an attack with multiple white perps and a black victim almost NEVER occurs, and the media is actively trying to suppress the amazing disparity of black-on-white crime.

To the mentally challenged letsrock, let's see you "cash a check" your mouth writes against 8 young, violent thugs while you are defending your 12 year-old daughter from a public groping.

You are brain-dead. Walking his family from the park full of people to the parking lot might have been the end of all of them.

That father had every right to tell the punk to cut the crap, but what he should have done was crush the jerk's windpipe; takes 2 seconds, and then there would have been no cell phone call.

It is amazing to me that the story about a father being assaulted trying to defend his daughter becomes a race thing.

Shouldn't be.  Whites have come to suspect institutionalized bigotry, mostly in the form of double standards. It is reality.  

What are you Al Sharpton or David Duke?

I'm looking forward to the day when the practice of stifling discourse through threats of association with liberal taboos is sneared at with the same righteousness as bigotry is now.

Have you ever thought about standing up like man.

If I had, like the guy in the story, I might never regain enough mental capacity or motor skills to be writing this. I would compare it to a military situation, or the "don't bring a knife to a gunfight" scenario. You do not attack with a weak force against overwhelming odds. I guess by your lights, my carrying a gun makes me less a man. I should leave it at home and take on the gangbangers alone.

That is not to say i would not have lost control and got myself killed. But I've already been the victim of an armed robbery at a place of employment, and a friend of mine was brutally raped and murdered. In a society that coddles criminals, one cannot wage war by the criminals' rules of engagement.

They’re the root of this problem. If it wasn’t for Johnson’s stupid “Great Society”, none of this would have been an issue. In fact, the “Great Society” has ruined more than black people. It’s ruined poor whites, it’s ruined everybody it’s touched.

It's called divide and conquer. As long as blacks and whites are at each other's throats, those in govt feel safe raping the country.

And instead of playing the blame game, we need to call out everybody and everyone that needs to be called out. The white feel good liberal society, the poverty pimps, and the thugs that mistake our kindness for weakness. Blaming people will do nothing except fan the flames that these hustlers feed off of and gets us race hustlers like Barry Obama vying for the presidency.

These days, the strategy is to turn a blind eye to illegal immigration to get Americans so worked up over the illegals that we push Congress to forge the chains they will use to bind us.

Our Homie’s going to the White House. Now we gonna roll.

Does anyone believe for a moment if the attack were multiple whites on a black family that race would be unmentioned.

The biased liberal media need to perish. They are antithetic to civilization.

Yes, and they should be allowed to have their pants sagging below their buttocks while they are gang-beating the father of the girl they assaulted about the head and shoulders.

“I’m not a racist. I’m a realist.”

Exactly right.

I’m 100% with you on this.
