On election night in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a blue state, comes a criminal horror story short of murder, but no less disturbing. It happened at Augsburg college, a private liberal arts school named after a place in Germany the reformer monk Martin Luther served in the 1500s.
After taunting 18-year old freshman Annie Grossmann for wearing her McCain-Palin campaign button at an election night get-together, and "getting in her face," four women beat her for political views which, obviously, they did not share. Grossmann took verbal abuse at the party, then left for her dorm after it was clear, about 10 p.m., that her candidates had lost. She was followed by the four women into the shadows of a nearby skyway.
There she was beaten. The four women, all black, called Grossmann a "racist." She knew none of them. Nor did they know her, to her knowledge. It was that damn campaign button that evidently caused their frenzy. Their earlier taunts proved that. They were, Grossmann said, "rubbing her face in Obama's win."
"Why do you call me a racist when you don't even know me?" she screamed. Made no difference. Grossmann was felled by the largest of the four. She hit her head on the brick wall, and staggered back to her dorm. The other three black women at the beating chucked at this dark manifestation of partisan evil. They walked away laughing, offering no help to their victim. The banality of evil had asserted itself. And at four-to-one, it was also a cowardly act of mindless violence which, presumably, the four thought "normal."

Classic “community organizing.” The four thugetts will undoubtedly join the domestic security apparatus as NCO’s.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

“know what, if anything, has happened to the Obamathugs?”
No idea. I am told (from further upthread) that this is actually a 10 day or so old story.
NEVER RELAX
This young lady looks as American as apple pie: http://www.startribune.com/politics/state/34305774.html
Photos of her there.
There is that big building near downtown Minneapolis that has all of those different colors on the building, I think it is like a housing project and I think Augsburg is near there. I think at least the Strib articles read this poor girl Annie was assaulted in a skyway type of walkway in Augsburg. I haven’t heard news of the perpretrators being caught. Perhaps Augsburg has an online newspaper for further research.
Lock and load.
7thson,
You are so right. I have tried to warn people for years what was coming down the road. The polarisation of society has become so stark that civil war is now unavoidable. For this I blame the leftist and social democrats and the appeasing RINOs.
The Left thinks they smell blood and want to close on the right and finish them off. Funny thing, the blood they smell is their own.
I sincerely hope that from this un avoidable eventuality that a new Nation, dedicated to the original constitution and its’ principles, will arise.
Silly human. Only whiteys can commit hate crimes. Ms. Grossmann herself committed a "hate crime" by wearing a McCain/Palin campaign button.
Who would like to take a wager on the result if she sued the university. I bet they would argue that she instigated the altercation by wearing the McCain - Palin button.
Any takers?
And people wonder why God made hell.
Folks are arming themselves at quite a fast rate.
This type of assault can only inflame the situation.
The Obamathugs must not know anything about hockey players.
You mistake Zulu for savages. They had a hard-disciplined, dedicated army in the 19th century and would have kept junk tribes out of SA and come to accomodation with the Europeans.
These women were however savages.
They do stick together, don’t they. Let’s hope.
augsburg is one of many small, lutheran, and very liberal colleges in the IA, MN, WI area. augsburg also has the stepUp program for ex-druggies. i’m more surprised there was enough people there to have a mccain party than i am at the beating.
This girl should write a letter to the local NAACP asking them to investigate this ‘hate crime’. They will, of course, refuse. She should then publish their response in the city newspaper.
She should press charges.
