White Man Beaten By Mob In Detroit After Hitting Boy With Truck: Was It A Hate Crime?

DETROIT (WWJ) - As a 54-year-old Roseville man clings to life in the hospital following a brutal mob beating on Detroit’s 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, “it’s wrong.” Joseph Utash said although it was tough to stomach, he watched video of the incident. “As my dad’s truck was coming down the street, the kid stepped right in front of my dad’s 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.

If a black man accidentally hits a white kid its a crime?

It would be if he was drunk or stoned, was driving without a valid license, or had no insurance. Having an illegal weapon in the car would also be a reason to not stick around.

“As for Brooklyn, perhaps its best to use the western philosophy of shoot, shovel, and shut up.”

LOL. Outside of parks Brooklyn is 95% concrete and asphalt. Good luck shoveling.

BUT.... what you describe is “cream of the crop” electing to come here for the opportunity and freedom.

What we are saddled with, for the most part, are those that were “luck of the draw” selected to be brought here, who are for the most part are no different (few personal/family aspirations, unwilling to sacrifice for the future and being overly concentrated upon self and immediate satisfaction and primally aggressive toward any considered weaker) than the vast majority of their kin remaining on the Dark Continent.

Not my neck of the woods, but I was under the impression that was what New Jersey was for.

I will never enter Detroit for any reason, along with quite a few other BRA cities, including my own state capitol. Let 'em have the sh*tholes they've created, with the help of the now trapped libs stuck there paying for it all, in more ways than one. I will be living my end of days out where there no gubmint offices, etc, to attract the parasites.

However, statistics show that the perceptions of whites are closer to the truth, re black on white crime.

Not the ones from Ethiopia. They have become a major source of crime, violence, gang, and drug related, in the cities where they have been parachuted in by the “nice white liberal church people”. And even with the others, we're getting (mostly) the ones who are self-motivated and have a work ethic, because if it was only an American black problem, what explains all the dysfunctional black run black majority nations in Africa, Haiti, etc?

Fifty years of progressive Democrat policies and union rule, and now a random street corner in Detroit can produce a dozen people willing to beat a man to death because he stopped to check on a child.

Ok, then put the body in a large contractor-strength garbage bag,and leave it at the curb for trash pickup.
