Police: 2 anti-violence organizers beat ex-roomie in Washington (PA)
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | October 30, 2014 | uncredited

Two “Stop the Violence” organizers in Washington County allegedly beat one of their colleagues so severely that he vomited blood and was left unconscious in critical condition.

Nikole Ardeno and Emanuel Velez, both 30, accused their former roommate of stealing their property, and allegedly punched and kicked him in the street until he had seizures. Arrested moments later, Ardeno was still wearing the same “Stop the Violence” T-shirt she had on the night before when she coordinated a march protesting two recent shootings, Washington Police Chief Chris Luppino said.

The victim, Joshua Magraff, also is a community organizer with the anti-violence group, and shared an apartment with the suspects until recently.

Magraff was still unconscious and in critical condition Wednesday at UPMC Mercy hospital in Pittsburgh, Luppino said. A hospital spokeswoman declined to provide an update Thursday, citing a policy against releasing information about crime victims.

No, not from SNL, but ripped straight from today's headlines. Two anti-violence activists beat the snot out of their community organizer colleague, sending him to the hospital in critical condition.

You just can't make up stuff like this.

This type of “anti-gun violence” activist
really has the goal of victim disarmament.

happens all the time.

Some feel good, anti-gang “reconciliation and self-esteem” group meets at the community center and afterwards there will be some huge gang fight.

basically this is public funding for gangsters who like poetry and making speeches to credulous idiots.

It’s racial. Ardeno and Valez ganging up on a McGraff. Clearly a hate crime.

You think this will affect their careers as anti-violence community organizers?

they accuse him of stealing their property? Here’s a different version:

“Investigators think Ardeno and Velez, both 30 and living at 595 E. Maiden St., attacked Magraff because he was a former roommate and went to their apartment to retrieve his belongings. Ardeno and Velez had filed a civil complaint at the Washington Police Department about 20 minutes before the assault claiming Magraff burglarized their residence. Luppino said Magraff appeared to take only his items from the apartment upon leaving and went to another residence before the attack.

“(Magraff) said he lived there and was not allowed to get his belongings,” Luppino said.

Of course. That buys you instant sainthood no matter what your actions.
