MOBILE, Alabama -- Mobile police need your help to catch a mob that beat Matthew Owens so badly that he's in critical condition.
According to police, Owens fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night. They say the kids left and a group of adults returned, armed with everything but the kitchen sink.
Police tell News 5 the suspects used chairs, pipes and paint cans to beat Owens.
Owens' sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. "It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed." Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using "brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on."
Police will only say "multiple people" are involved.
What Parker says happened next could make the fallout from the brutal beating even worse. As the attackers walked away, leaving Owen bleeding on the ground, Parker says one of them said "Now thats justice for Trayvon."

Defeatist hogwash. Gun sales have set records at least 2 years in a row, with over 30 million background checks.
Those weapons were not purchased by people planning to roll over.
Why do you think Jesus told His disciples to take up a sword?
Think about it. It will come to you.
I believe it was Timor the Lame who came to Baghdad and the inhabitants came out waving palm fronds shouting peace and love. Timor was not moved estimates of the number of the dead range from 100,000 to 1,000,000. While I obviously cannot speak for our Lord I tend to think he meant his words to cover our ordinary daily lives not the attacks of conquerors.
Alabama in the Spring time!
Many a fool has misinterpreted these verses to mean Jesus was a pacifist, anti-war, anti self-defense...in other words, a SISSY.
I will give ROTB credit for more brains than to hold such a distorted view of Scripture. Otherwise, he or she is on the wrong forum.
The thing is, it’s not against fellow man. It’s against G-d. This thing is about fellow man and it’s the other side that has to love its enemies, not Zimmerman.
I think I’m going to apply for a conceal and carry permit.
When I walk my dog twice per day I carry bear mace and a nasty Spyderco Harpy, but I don’t think that is enough in these times :(
This is so far out of control it’s not even funny.
Looks like Obama had a who’ bunch o’ sons!
On the other hand, blacks stick with blacks above all else, witness the black voting percentages for Obama.
If this were to come to pass I expect that those blacks who don't actively participate in the violence wouldn't mind if 'their' side won.
It's right there.
Matthew 6:14-16 (NIV) For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Mark 11:25 (NIV) And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.
1 John 2:9 (Wey) Any one who professes to be in the light and yet hates his brother is still in darkness.

Yes. Amen to all you said.
However, forgiveness pretty much has to be asked for, and, if you disagree with that (though it is biblical), I can defend myself, yet still forgive.
Agree. Blacks voted better than 90% for Mike Nifong long after it was obvious the case was a fraud. They wanted those white boys in prison.
“If this were to come to pass I expect that those blacks who don’t actively participate in the violence wouldn’t mind if ‘their’ side won.”
They, like ALL muslims, will only be ‘good Germans.’
Yeah, I see it. I clicked on another link (I’ll try to find it) and they conspicuously omitted all racial references. I read it three times (not this article, the other one...)
HERE is the link I was referring to...a Fox channel, no less.
They omit ALL RACIAL REFERENCES, even in the video, and seem to be trying to “blame the victim”...sying “it’s unclear what he said to them”...
...leaving open the possibility that he said something “offensive” which would, of course, justify in their minds his being beaten and left for dead.

This is that story: So I found out this morning that my friends brother Matthew Owens was attacked in his own front yard by about 20 to 30 black men. They attacked him with bats, paint cans and bricks. As they left them laying there for dead they told him that was for Trayvon Martin. He is now in the ICU at USA with 13 staples in his head and in critical condition his brain is bleeding. He did not know Trayvon and neither did the guys that beat him up nor did ue deserve it. Why is THIS not considered a “hate” crime?!?! Why is nothing being done for him? Its not on the news or receiving any kind of media attention. I feel this man deserves justice just as much as Trayvon does and they need to take the necessary steps to apprehend these men and bring them to justice for this horrible crime they have committed. Please keep him in your prayers as he is trying to recover. What a sad world we live in that u can’t even be in your own front yard (right off pleasent valley rd. ).....from kristen willie raley
