A 16-year-old male has been arrested after a gang of black youths armed with rocks violently beat a white couple in an unprovoked attack.
Reporters Marjon Rostami and Dave Forster were waiting at a red light at the intersection of Brambleton Avenue and Church Street in Norfolk, Virginia, on April 14 when they were set upon by the 30-strong mob.
But the couple's ordeal was not reported by their employer, the Virginian-Pilot, for two weeks, sparking outrage among some readers who claim the newspaper buried the story for political reasons.
The arrested teen, whose name has not being released because of his age, has been charged with throwing a missile at a vehicle, as well as two counts of simple assault by mob, destruction of property and participation in a riot.
Rostami and Forster were driving back from a concert on the night of the attack when a teenager, who was part of a larger group, threw a rock at their stationary vehicle after reportedly witnessing Rostami lock her car door.
Forster got out of the car to confront the assailant, which is when ‘wave after wave of young men surged forward to take turns punching and kicking their victim,’ according to a column by Michelle Washington, which was the Virginian-Pilot's first report of the incident.

The couple said that there were around 100 youths in the vicinity and 30 in close proximity to their car during the assault.
A day after the unprovoked attack, Forster scoured the internet to see if the incident had been reported, according to Washington's column.
But he was shocked by one Twitter post. 'I feel for the white man who got beat up at the light,' one person wrote. 'I don't,' added another. '(do it for trayvon martin)'.

Maybe he was raised on John Wayne movies, but missed the Discovery special on hyenas in the savannah.
The headline we never saw
“Reporters get Mau-Mau’d in Norfolk”
OK, here's what your frank discussion will sound like.
First, Mittens:
“More jobs, more money for for education, more money for teachers, more money for schools, more computers, a laptop for every kid, more free college scholarships, more free healthcare, more free daycare, more free summer camps, more basketball courts ...”
OK, now Barry's turn:
“More jobs, more money for for education, more money for teachers, more money for schools, more computers, a laptop for every kid, more free college scholarships, more free healthcare, more free daycare, more free summer camps, more basketball courts ... and make the rich pay their fair share”
Maybe the guy hitched up his pants and said “what’s the problem pilgrim.”
And then he found out.
At my age if 30 people tried to get me out of my car there would be blood in street, I don’t care what color they are.
During the race riots of the '60s, I was in my Great Uncle's car. AShead of us, there were about 20 Blacks shaking/rocking a car in what looked like an attempt to turn it over. When they saw us coming, they let the car go and and blocked the road waiting for us. My Uncle said a few "bad" words and told me not to look in case they stayed in front of him - he then stepped on it, hit the horn and dared the SOBs to stay where they were. They all managed to get out of the way, but he was not going to stop if they didn't. Anyone who stays put for fear of hurting the mob is nuts.
Time to get the Daily Mail app, I did ... Great app.
A frank national discussion would be nice, but in the mean time I stay out of the two local Blue Cities of St Louis, Missouri and Kansas City, Missouri.
The story of Norfolk happens in both. Delete Norfolk and insert St Louis or Kansas City and you have your story.
Both have their flash mobs.
Both have their liberal media.
Both have their liberal government.
Both have their police departments that look the other way.
On those very rare occasions when I must be in either city, I go into the city after 9AM and get out before 3PM.
Both have their black flash mobs.

Cannot pass up this opportunity...
Whenever I hear “Norfolk”, this chant comes to mind:
“We don’t smoke! We don’t drink! NORF*K! NORF*K!!
I am a Virginian by birth and on my mother’s side...
Guess that’s why some people pronounce it Nor-FOLK.
Gee . . . something may yet come out of the experience of the German Juden at the hands of the SA
Yeah, I was joking. Can’t we swap ‘em all for some Chinese or Icelanders or somebody who will appreciate our freedoms and economic advantages.
