Would love to see the racial makeup of the group. Now there seems to be wannabe gangster whites more involved in this stupidity.

Hate crime?

Race doesn't matter -- the problem is the collapse of civilization in the cities.

Standing in the street and beating someone for honking qualifies these perpetrators as urban barbarians.

It happened in the 4700 block of N. 36th St. It is almost certain that the thugs were black. The victim is most likely black as well.

Man dragged from car, beaten by group of young men

I've been in that area more than once after dark ..20 yrs ago
it was a hostile place to be..especially with the wrong skin color...

With a whole new generation of gang bangers and thugs on the street these days...

You don't wanna be there after dark...and certainly not after 11PM...

imo

You KNOW, because it wasn't stated in the article, that the assailants were black, and the victim was some other race.

Otherwise, it would have been clearly stated.

The day before Christmas Eve, I had to stop at Walmart after work to get a few last minute items. While pulling past the front of the store, 6-8 "black youths" on foot stopped right in the middle of the traffic lane to "chat". After waiting 30 second or so for them to move on, and while several other vehicles backed up on both sides of the chatting "youths", I tapped my horn lightly "beep beep" to encourage them to move along.

You should have heard the foul, racist, and infuriating language directed at me for having the nerve to ask them to get out of the road.

Well, I was just coming off duty (I'm a part-time cop) and was still in uniform. So I got out of my car - instant silence from the "youths". Calmly and politely, I advised the nice young people to "move along before you spend Christmas in jail." Amazing how quickly the street cleared.

Seems to me that if they were white, the article would have mentioned it...
