DETROIT (WWJ) - As a 54-year-old Roseville man clings to life in the hospital following a brutal mob beating on Detroits east side, many are starting to wonder if the whole thing was racially motivated. As first reported by WWJ Newsradio 950, an 11-year-old boy suffered a broken leg on Wednesday when he was hit by a pickup truck after walking into the street near Morang and Balfour. The driver, Steven Utash, immediately got out of his truck after hitting the boy and was viciously attacked by 10 to 12 men. The beating was so brutal, Utash was rendered unconscious.
Our preliminary investigation shows the child stepped in front of his vehicle, Woody said. He did exactly the right thing. He stopped his vehicle, he got out and he tried to render aid to a small child. He did exactly what he was supposed to do
It was a small child and it was an accident; is what it was. State Rep. Alberta Tinsley Talabi (D-Detroit), told WWJ Legal Analyst Charlie Langton the incident appears to have racial overtones, adding, its wrong. Joseph Utash said although it was tough to stomach, he watched video of the incident. As my dads truck was coming down the street, the kid stepped right in front of my dads truck. My dad had absolutely not one chance in the world to try to swerve out-of-the-way or stop, he said. He got out of the car to check on the kid and before he even got up to the kid, he got assaulted by 11, 12 people. They jumped all over him and beat him up.

The real shocking thing about this story is that the kid's DAD was with him.
You’re damn skippy it’s one-sided, and what’s most frustrating is that the unarmed side (unarmed in the sense of equal protection before the law) won’t even acknowledge it, at least not many of them. Also, the propaganda being sold tells the exact opposite story-Goebbel’s “Big Lie”.
I can tell you one easy clue-anything called “Martin Luther King” blvd, st, etc.
This was national news, right? CNN and MSNBC were right on it, right?
RIGHT??
//is a sarc tag really necessary here??
you’re so right.....you go to Chinatown and you can go to Little Italy and you can go to Olivera Street and you’re welcomed, wanted.....nothing more needs to be said...
Just like pulling Reginald Denny from a truck and beating him to a pulp was a “justified” response to perceived unfairness.
Appears the driver’s route took him to the wrong side of the Bell Curve.
Prayers up for this man’s recovery, for solace for his loved ones, and for those who attacked him that they might see the Light of Christ and turn from their hateful ways.
Just watched a news video about this...at the end it said the “little boy” was being held by police on an unrelated charge and that they were investigating him for his role in the beating. Apparently the “little boy” isn’t a little angel.
LOL, in Oakland, a pack of “youths” held up a Spanish-language filming crew and made off with their cameras and other equipment. They’re lucky they weren’t killed anyway.
the only crime committed was them beating nearly to death an innocent man...
I agree, if you can get the he**out of there without being traced. He tried to do the right thing, at the potential cost of his life.
I’m grateful that I can do the same in my state.
They have one scam going where they tailgate you trying to provoke an accident, so they can hit the “ghetto lotto”.
When do other people get to pay the “karma police” for their episodes of slavery, as all cultures and peoples have at one point practiced it (including on whites, whether other whites or Muslims), and aome still do? Why only YT, the only ones who ever shed their own blood to put a stop to it? And have paid billions in “reparations” in one form or another ever since? Wven to countries like Haiti, where the whites (including children) were slaughtered? (They let some of the women live, as breeding fodder).
When I was dealing with my Auto Insurance company on a totalled truck, the adjustor told me it is common in Detroit for the “natives” to walk out in front of traffic hoping to get hit so they can get a pile of cash.
I just shook my head...
So... did they steal/strip the truck?
Also Derbyshire Rules-don’t be a “good samaritan”. The risk is no longer worth it.
