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.

You have a point. I think what's up for debate is the motivation. Bashing the black driver would be a reflex. Bashing the white driver would be a hate-filled reflex.
“I had a mag full of hollow-points in the pistol on me and a riot gun full of buck-shot in the back seat. I wasn’t planning on taking the beating.”
Great. Just realize that you will be charged with murder or attempted murder, have to pay several hundred thousand dollars in legal fees. Be convicted of at least several gun related felonies and imprisoned for at least several years. Thats one reason I dont live there anymore.
Usually your posts are intelligent and worth reading.
What happened today ? Is this somebody pretending to be cripplecreek ?
In Brooklyn yes, but not where I was in North Florida.
As for Brooklyn, perhaps its best to use the western philosophy of shoot, shovel, and shut up.
“many Detroit residents live at least twice as far from the nearest grocery store as they do to a fast-food restaurant or a convenience store.”
The food desert meme.
Here in NC we have state run liquor stores. My kid was complaining about living in a liquor desert because he has to drive twice as far to an ABC store than does someone from other parts of town.
My sister tells me they have something like this in Baltimore. There are red lights on top of poles that let you know you are in a bad, high crime neighborhood. I think the lights are to show that the video cams and gunshot directional finders are working.
One good thing that the "don't let NW Europeans in here any more" immigration policy since 1965 has accomplished is that a lot of African nationals have come here. The ones in the suburbs, at least, are very motivated, hard-working and grateful to be in what they thought would be a free country. Around here they are from Kenya, Ghana, Cameroon, Eritrea, Nigeria, etc. Many have their own businesses or become educated in professions like engineering or accountancy. They discipline their children, attend church and keep up their property. The AA's hate them. The average African-borns prove that race is not a predictor of behavior.
Absolutely correct. What happened to the African American Community is living proof of what generations of left-wing liberalism can do. Especially when coupled with a racialist social policy which visits the sins of the past on a generation of current non-blacks.
The subhuman mutants sho did this should be sent to prison for life.
I have seen the same in downtown Oakland in broad daylight. This was in the 90’s. I couldn't tell if the mom was stoned, suicidal or trying win the ghetto lottery. The light was red and cars swerved around her as she walked across the street. No one was injured and she just went on her way like nothing happened.
I don’t doubt that most black men would run if they hit a white kid in a white neighborhood. They wouldn’t need to run but the perception that there would be a lynching exists in 9 of 10 inner city blacks.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard urban blacks express fear or rural people.
In TX, you have to go to a state licensed Licka store, grocery & quick stores can only sell beer & wine.
In LA, you can buy licka at the grocery or quick store.
What is a YT?
Teddy Kennedy and LBJ were the prime culprits, and they have been detained indefinitely.
But they would run after any crime in a white neighborhood, urban or rural, so your comment adds what?
They have Stand Your Road law in Detroit?
I’m referring to east coast cities. It’s the same everywhere. Passive aggression — until the fight breaks out.
Do you really have to have it pointed out that some vehicular accidents are deemed negligent?
NEW AND IMPROVED, $TEALTHIER VERSION OF...
THE KNOCK-OUT GAME.
No,hitting the boy was an accident
Beating the driver was a cultural crime perpetrated by the feral culture of tribal Deeetroit
