This happened in Savannah, on the big tourist street. Apparently the family was walking along when a black couple pushed their way through them and shoved one of the family’s children. The father of the family said something like, hey, don’t shove a kid, and the couple attacked them, and then were apparently joined by some other people who were with them.

Not going to be good for the Savannah tourist biz, which is why it’s very hard to find reports about it.

Blacks run amok. Obama and the Lefties have emboldened the bad guys IMO, especially black gangs.

“Rob Gray and his brother-in-law said they were walking down River Street enjoying the sites with their families when they were confronted by a man.”

When such a situation arises one is well advised to have ones’ hand on ones’ gun and to be scanning behind as well as in front - there were two adult males and neither seems to have been armed nor were they working together to deal with the well known threat of Urban Feral predation.

Black on white crime isn’t really a crime. It’s reparations.

This incident and the ongoing “knockout game” are a precursor to a long hot summer I’m afraid. Lock & Load!

It appears the victims’ route took them to the wrong side of the Bell Curve.

FB post of victim

My family fell victim to an unwarranted, viciously brutal attack in Savannah, Ga. Saturday evening while enjoying a Mothers Day weekend. This is a long read, but please “LIKE” and “SHARE” this story so that we can prevent this type of crime from happening to other families.

Saturday evening (05/10/14 approx 9:30 pm) my family was violently attacked and robbed on the Riverwalk in Savannah, Ga.

It all took place shortly after dinner – around 9:30. I was with my family (of five: my wife Sarah, our two sons Owen 11 and Noah 9, and our daughter Julia 6), accompanied with my brother-in-law Rob (who is also my business partner of an Atlanta based business), his girlfriend Roberta, and his daughter Savannah 13.

We had walked along the Savannah Riverwalk from our hotel (Savannah Riverfront Marriott) to have dinner at the Bayou Cafe. After dinner, we explored the river front shopping -“touristy”- area and purchased some memorabilia in some the stores. As we came closer to the Hyatt we were confronted by an adult male who was extremely hostile. As our attention was concentrated on this particular person, I was rushed and tackled -FROM BEHIND- into a parked car by another man. I went headfirst into the side of this car with the full weight of my assailant on top of me and crashed face-first into the pavement. Immediately, there were FOUR more men who punched and kicked me in the back of the head and neck while I was on the ground.

Our children watched in horror as my brother-in-law (Rob) tried to pull these attackers off of me, only to have another large adult male grab him from behind with his forearm buried into his neck, squeezing his carotid arteries, and smashing him to the ground.

As I was escaping from the melee of attackers upon myself, I saw a large male dragging my wife by her hair across the Riverwalk. I did everything possible to make sure that his hands were completely released from my wife. I was then, once again, assaulted by several more people from behind.

My brother-in-law, Rob had been held in a choke-hold just long enough for the main instigator to run to him and send a solid strike to his left eye (which instantly swelled shut). Rob was however, able to free himself from the choking restraint of his attackers... But I would expect nothing less... After-all, he is a retired Airborne Ranger from the US Army!

But our strengths and alert minds were simply not enough to save our children from this brutal attack. I could care less about the bags of our recent purchases being stolen during this attack/robbery and the cuts and bruises on my body. What really upsets me is that my 6 yr old daughter was punched in the stomach. Both of my sons were thrown around. My niece was viciously attacked by one of the older women in this crowd, Roberta was scratched up mercilessly as she tried to save the children, and my wife was yanked around by her hair by a man 3 times her size. All EIGHT of us were assaulted!

What really puzzles me is this: WHERE WERE THE POLICE???

There was absolutely NO POLICE PRESENCE anywhere to be seen or heard from.

In order to escape further attack we rushed into an ice cream / candy store which was merely 10 feet away from where the incident took place on the Riverwalk. Our attackers stood out front in a mob, waiting for us. The shop owner, yelled at us that he didn’t need any of this in his store to hurt his business. Mind you, we are BLEEDING from multiple lacerations, our clothes torn apart, and with a group of small terrified children. We asked him to PLEASE call 911 and get the police there immediately.

After several minutes we left our “safe haven” inside the store and moved quickly down towards our hotel. The whole time these same attackers followed us at a short distance.

We finally did see 2 patrol officers (almost 25 mins after the incident) They took a statement and called for an ambulance. We explained that the people responsible for this attack were STILL there. We never saw any more police patrol or backup.

We were treated by the EMS for lacerations and were advised to get X-rays.

The following morning (after checking out of the hotel), Rob and I went to an urgent care clinic in Savannah and our wives drove separately to take the children home. Rob had been hit so hard, that it has probably fractured his orbital and damaged his left eye. I have multiple scratches, bruises and a scratched lens in my right eye. We both have severe head & neck trauma.

It’s incredulous that this kind of incident could happen in such a well traveled “touristy” area. There MUST be something done in order to have more police presence in this area along the Riverwalk. Visitors should ABSOLUTELY become aware that Savannah, Ga. needs to step up their game in protecting their visitors.

Please help me put a stop on tourist attacks.

For police information regarding this attack, please contact the Savannah Chatham Police Dept located at 201 Habersham St. Savannah, Ga. 301401. Case Report Number: 140510183 Officer Nelson P.R. 11817

Thank you,

Being attacked by a mob is a life threaning situation and should be met with highly accurate and high volume (as in ammo) deadly force.

River St in Sav is no different than Atlanta Underground after dark. Stay the heck out of both of them if you value your life, and NEVER take children there.

River St gets lots of press for being touristy, if you like that kind of experience, try Central Park in NYNY after sundown.

When a man takes his loved ones into a dangerous area, his options are very limited. He can not just break contact and haul ass, he has to stay and fight off the vermin to try to protect his spouse and offspring. Unarmed, and he will be lucky to get out alive. This guy is danged lucky to still be breathing.

He should have taken the necessary steps to protect his family. CCW would have helped, but totally avoiding that area would have been the better choice by far.

Ofcours I knew it was BLACKS the second I read the headline.
I am SHOCKED that the comment section to that story is still up.
When it comes to black crime (is there any other) most news sites automatically turn off their comment sections nowadays.

You were lucky. YOU are personally responsible for your personal safety!

PURCHASE A RELIABLE 14 ROUND SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL, LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY USE IT, SPEND A FEW HOURS AT THE RANGE, GET YOUR CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT, AND DEVELOP SITUATION AWARENESS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN STRANGE SURROUNDINGS WITH YOUR FAMILY.

There is going to be a lot more of this sort of thing due to the criminal lawlessness of the current administration and their virtual encouragement of the entitlement mentality the street thugs use to justify THEIR lawlessness.

My short video (the link to which I'll post below) might help you understand why this stuff happens and keep you out of another of these situations.

BTW, what race were these folks? I assume the cops put that information in their report as it might make it a bit easier to locate and arrest them. (Forgive me for being "racist".)

If you choose to NOT defend yourself, you can print up a few of these cards to carry during your next family outing. Perhaps pinning one to your shirt will help.
