A mob of unruly teens last night once again wreaked havoc on Center City, assaulting and robbing random pedestrians.

About 9:15 p.m., police began to receive 9-1-1 calls about a group of 20 to 40 teens assaulting people. Police found a man on the ground bleeding badly from the head at Walnut and Juniper streets. He was taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

Brian Mishico, who was working the door at Good Dog Bar and Restaurant on 15th Street near Locust, said a crowd of about 30 kids, some who looked as young as 12, split into two groups as they walked down 15th Street.

Yup, but then the DOJ will be down there prosecuting right and left for civil rights violations. Can’t be dissing holder’s people don’tchaknow.

[ripley]

Sickening.

Just thus week I was walking to lunch several blocks away from this incident, and one of these yutes (I am sure) tried to get in my face screaming profanities at me. He wisely let me move on. But the point is they are getting more brazen with their thuggery.

The Obnama Spring!

[Mark was here]

When I was young and dumb in my early 20’s in the early ‘80’s I saw such anti-white racism on display at the Detroit Fireworks, then I was smart enough to decide never to go back again. The thing that alarmed me was that the racism was coming from the girls. Todays mobs are their kids and grand kids. I know where they got their lessons from.

Maybe one that sells basketball shoes, french fries and gold chains.

Yeah to be repeated at all Voting Places in 2012

[Realman30]

These are the spawn of crackhead welfare cheats.

“Lord of the flies” moment anyone? When you have a bunch of children who have no prospects for the future, no gainful employment, no motivation or encouragement to escape their dismal enviroment, combined with a complete breakdown of discipline and authority, you reach what has happened here. It’s nothing more than society devolving back into a tribal-feudal society. It’s happened before, and will happen again.

Just wait for the next, more horrible step in the progression:

Flash home invasions. Think of the Knoxville Horror, with the first home invaders putting out the word of a “party.”

At least we know it was not a right wing conservative. That would have been in the headline

or Caucasians carrying bibles for that matter.

[ml/nj]

"It's crazy, I've never seen anything like it," Mishico said. "It seems totally random."

I'm guessing it wasn't TOTALLY random.

[SharpRightTurn]

Not sure I’d be able to identify the perps, or the victim for that matter, from the report. Any identifying physical characteristics?

[softwarecreator]

Seems ripe for a sting, no?

Nope, that'd be considered 'profiling'.

[Scotsman will be Free]

I think that will be down the road a ways because stores are still such an attractive target.

[softwarecreator]

No pictures, it was dark at the time.

Yeah, I cannot wait until someone invents 'flash' for cameras so pictures can be taken at night  Probably won't happen in my lifetime though.

[DUMBGRUNT]

You forgot the ice cold sliced watermelon.

[ladyjane]

engaging in mini crime waves

They're only mini if it doesn't happen to you. If you are the owner of the store that is trashed or the wife of the man bleeding profusely on the sidewalk these crimes are not mini.

[Travis McGee]

This is just a taste of the massive social disfunction ahead.

Wait for “flash home invasions,” they will make these “knockout game” downtown walks seem like church picnics.

PA ping.
