“My four-year-old said ‘look mommy, they’re dancing’, Juli said. “I said, ‘no, baby they’re not dancing they’re fighting’. Then I see my husband and he’s on the ground being tased.”Posted on 06/11/2015 2:42:42 PM PDT by walford
FLORENCE, Ala. (WHNT) – Police are investigating an assault that was reported during First Fridays in Florence.
Investigators said 20 to 30 juveniles assaulted a Lauderdale County man and his 14-year-old son at Wilson Park on Friday, June 5. According to the victim’s wife, who witnessed the attack, the group “was using slurs of race” while tasing her husband and beating him.
“Randomly, they just him me in the back of the head,” said 14-year-old Brandon Dawes. “I didn’t think nothing of it at first because, well, I thought maybe somebody tripped or something.”
Juli Dawes said her husband Kevin was trying to protect their son when they turned on him.
“I got in between him and the attacker and told him to go toward the van , and that’s when I started getting attacked,” Kevin said.
She said the juveniles also shattered the windshield of her car, where she was waiting with her 4-year-old.
“My four-year-old said ‘look mommy, they’re dancing’, Juli said. “I said, ‘no, baby they’re not dancing they’re fighting’. Then I see my husband and he’s on the ground being tased.”
Juli said she felt helpless watching the group of thugs attack her family.
“There’s this wall of people and there was nothing I could do,” she stressed. “If it could happen to us it could happen to anybody, and it was unprovoked. I would really love to know why, what they were thinking.”
Juli is concerned such a horrific attack could happen at a family friendly event. Florence Police Chief Ron Tyler said they are not ready to identify the assault as a hate crime, or say that it was gang related.
“We are considering all angles,” said Chief Tyler. “There are no set of circumstances that would ever justify an unprovoked attack by a group of thugs, and we will not allow any group to hijack the family friendly First Fridays event.”
Investigators do not have any people of interest yet in this case.
The 14-year-old sustained facial injuries.
At last check, Kevin Dawes has a fractured eye socket and multiple taser burns. Brandon, 14, sustained minor injuries.
Juli Dawes hopes someone may know who was responsible. She said it was senseless violence, and wants to prevent the same thing from happening to another family.
If you have any information, please call Florence Police at (256) 760-6500.
If the family had successfully fought back against the aggressors, riots would be in progress by now.
Has there EVER been a case where blacks have been charged with a hate crime?
No, those who are born Victims are considered entitled to do unto those born Oppressors.
Black on white crime? Nothing to see here. Move along. It’s the media who brings the gas to a gathering and then ignites the spark.
At age 72 this is why I will not go any place where large numbers of young black males can be found.
Victors are often rough with the vanquished. Consider the Spartans and their conduct towards the Helots. White America is in the process of being conquered by the Third World which consists of blacks, aliens and non Christians. Either we return to the attitude that an attack on one is an attack on all or we go under.
THE FOREIGNER, WITHHOLDER and SHARPTON may as well have had their racist black rear ends leading the pack of thugs. They have declared loud and clear it’s open season on whitie. The problem will really come when whitie pushes back.
It’s OK, the victim is WHITE, there won’t be any blowback at all. No Protestsm No riots, NOTHING....
That would be RASSISS!, after all.
20-30 dead juveniles would make others think twice about pulling their racist sh1tbag coward group attacks on whites.
White people better wake up. The war has been going on for a very long time.
Diversity. There is something inherently wrong if you don’t have certain percentages of x y and z on whatever.
Why? That remark is just as offensively racist and full of that person’s own racist assumptions. How do they know that just by a person’s external colorings? Who are they to determine what is right and wrong?
Affirmative Action. Racist.
Welfare that is de facto reparations.
Any violent white on black crime automatically framed as racist.
Any violent black on white crime that is obviously racist, framed as not racist.
Dropping standards for blacks that whites are still held to, or held to even higher standards to keep their numbers down. Making excuses for blacks so they don’t have to own their own poor decisions and poor choices.
Animals and their pack mentality
I thought this was about someone getting attacked coming out of First Friday services for a moment.
Most Young Black males are ferals...
I avoid em’ like the plague also.
2 Peter 2:12-14
Their day is coming too....
I am 66, with medical issues, my heart and lungs being the worst. I will not fight fair, but I sure as heck will defend myself. I carry a gun that I hope to never use, but if attacked, I will not just fall too the ground and just lay there and let them kill me or my Bride of 43 years.
I too do not knowingly go to places where these bugs gather, but we like to travel and we could easily find ourselves around this slime, gas stations, rest stops, truck stops, etc.
I was an LEO for 30 years (retired), and I don’t fear much, but over the last 7 years our country has become extremely dangerous. Funny, when I was a cop I often didn’t pack when I wasn’t working (shame on me), but I am NEVER without a gun anymore. My wife is also armed much of the time.
When we packed our Airstream trailer in years past, I always had to worry about things like, gas for the generator, enough farm fresh eggs, fishing gear, etc. Now it’s down to, do I pack the AR or the Shotgun?
Unlike some folks, I do not believe that the Boogyman is around every corner, but in todays screwed up world, he very well could be around the next.
Cheers....
~~ just livin’ life~~
Investigators do not have any people of interest yet in this case.
God bless and protect you and your Bride.
Wait!!!! Al Sharpton is on his way to Florence, Alabama to help — himself to some free buffet of spicy BBQ and collard greens.
Thank you.... and God bless you are yours too.
What ever happened to “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” and “Don’t taze me Bro”?.
Oh, whites cannot apply.
