The victim served in Vietnam until he was shot in the eye, McClay said. Since then, the Purple Heart recipient has worked in veterans support services, helping others find jobs.

Police are searching for a gang of six teens who allegedly beat and seriously injured a 64-year-old Vietnam War veteran apparently "just for sport" in Olney Tuesday evening.

The victim, whose name has not been released, was walking on the 5000 block of North 5th Street on his way to a bus stop about 6 p.m. when the assailants pounced.

The teenagers were walking a short distance behind him when they apparently decided, "just for sport, to beat this guy down," said Philadelphia Police Lt. George McClay, of the Northwest Detective Division.

"One kid breaks off from the pack, beats this guy down, and the rest of them join in," McClay said.

The victim was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center with serious injuries to his head, face and hand.

The assault was so severe that McClay said police intend to charge the attackers with attempted murder.

"Someone knows these kids," McClay said. "They're from the neighborhood, we know they are. We're looking for one or two names . . . This behavior can't be let go."

The attackers, who were caught on a surveillance camera in the area, were described as 16 to 18 years old, black and Hispanic. One was wearing an orange hooded sweatshirt and jeans.

Anyone with information is asked to call police.

the more whites retreat, the more they gain as far as ground...

and their ground will increasingly become a wasteland, ala Detroit....

but I can't understand any non black person ever going to these areas willingly....

they are feral animals and no one is willing to stop them and they apparently believe in no god and have no morals or values....

Read the comments, wow. SeeBS goes out of their way to make people think this was random and not premeditated, looking to defend these ‘yoots in the public eye.

Here in NJ both whites and blacks are being hemmed in by Hispanics, with a higher birth rate and constant inflows of illegals. Since the 1996 Welfare Reform the black birthrate has dropped closer to that of whites; the result has been the changing of many areas in NJ from black to Hispanic. This includes political offices, the workplace, even prisons.

I’m angry and pathetic enough to WISH some of these sick little cowardly bastards would try this. I’d go for the leader first and take his ass out. I may get the crap beaten out of me, but by God I’ll take some skinny-assed little home boys with me.

...and that’s if I’m not carrying, BTW. If I am, whole different story.

Maybe we can get Eric Holder in to prosecute these beasts for Federal Civil Right violations. For hate crimes. Looks like more black racist violence

I think feral is a synonym for Filthadelphia.

Many whites “stayed” in South Africa because they are stuck there. Most countries will not let them legally immigrate if they don’t have close relative citizens or millions to invest. Even if they are highly literate and with good job skills.

But if you are a “refugee” from Algeria, Yemen, Pakistan, etc you come right in and get on the dole. No literacy, no job skills, no problem. Just look at France or the UK.

This PC insanity makes me want to scream...

A few years ago a recruiter called me about a job in Center City paying more than $130k to write software. I politely turned it down, explaining that, while the wages were extremely generous, under no circumstances would I ever consider any position within the city limits.

This is why.

Perhaps a well placed e-mail to the local chapter of rolling thunder with photos and adresses.

“...my children and grandchildren will be burdened with federal debt.” And our children and grandchildren will also be burdened with the corporeal presence of these worthless, destructive vermin. Racist? No. I’d verbalize the same sentiment about worthless, destructive Caucasian vermin who did that sort of thing.

Not racist at all. It is behavior related. It is culture related. No race about it.

The whites in SOuth Africa were offered “sanctuary” in many Commonwealth countries; I believe they don’t want to give up their properties, and still have a better living than they’d have elsewhere (unlike in Zimbabwe). The trade-off is that you have to live in a bubble; the black leadership understands that at least during a transitional phase (which is dragging on endlessly), they need white professionals. They just can’t travel freely, the same way I wouldn’t in Newark - it resembles a “in which the Mau Maus won”.

Make that a “Kenya in which the Mau Maus won”.
