The video evidence clearly shows that the point man in the initial assault came from the 3 o'clock position at an extemely accelerated pace, with the attack force following. All of whom were availing themselves of the natural cover being provided by the vehicle. The final assailant was clearly providing backup support in the event the target should become aware of the ambush that was awaiting him and likely prepared to launch his own assault had the victim been permitted to enter retreat mode.

Which tends to indicate a planned attack. Sounds like they were cruising for a target.

Sounds very much like we are in a low-level race war already.

Three blacks one Mexican

I'm going to guess that the "Mexican" was just a light-skinned black guy.

Too bad this soldier wasn’t armed.

Good thing he wasn't. He could have hurt someone and wound up being charged with a "hate crime" by the Obama Administration.

I live in Tampa....and this the reason I carry....

In the times I cannot carry I ALWAYS have a weapon ( Knife ) within arms reach or on my person

Fortunately I have only had to show my weapon once to let a dick head know not to “F” with me....

Heh, heh. When I bought my 870, I almost bought the Mossberg.

All I can see is a couple of thugs wearing hoodies, beating and robbing some guy. I don’t want to jump to any conclusions, though. It could be a Scandinavian biker gang or something.
