Seven young males from a Minneapolis basketball Amateur Athletic Union program were arrested and charged with misdemeanors in Wichita, Kan., after assaulting at least three homeless people in downtown Wichita over the weekend, police said. The young males, ages 12 to 18, were in Wichita to play in the Mid America Youth Basketball championships. They were staying in a downtown hotel and were walking the streets when the assaults occurred on Sunday night. The young males play for Urban Stars Athletics, an arm of Urban Ventures, a nonprofit organization that assists inner-city families in poverty. The assaults started with “people throwing rocks, bricks and chunks of cement,” said Wichita Police Department Public Information Officer James Espinoza. “A 32-year-old individual suffered injuries to his abdomen and his left arm and left leg. Another 48-year-old individual tried to leave the scene but suffered injuries to his head and cuts and scrapes above his left eye. A third individual on a bike tried to flee but was assaulted with rocks and knocked off his bike.”

Let me guess ...
I was going to hold off on posting this until there was solid proof.
However, I have no doubt.
You’re right, You have to play it at MIDNIGHT to get the desired calming and therapeutic effects.
And By Amish I mean MINNESOTANS! :P

No names, no photos, no clues.
Maybe they should have asked the Urban Basketball Team for some information on these teens.
Thats not a terrible area. Not good either, not comfortable gassing up at the QT unless I’m packing heat.
Still wouldn’t expect a bunch of jerks from out of state to be throwing stuff at people.
The teens had no choice but to assault the homeless people because of their unfair white privilege
“Nonprofits” are just money laundering operations for Marxists, Socialists, and do gooder busybodies. Every one I meet that works for one carries their own halo and has an arm sling from patting themselves on the back.
Inner city, basketball ... and the article was careful not to mention names or race. If the perps were white and the victims black (unarmed, of course) you'd better believe they'd point that out in the first sentence of the article.
Today's media is laughable.
It's like PRAVDA in the old days. All you had to do figure out the truth is see what was missing from the story.
I knew a farm boy from outside Wichita who was driving downtown one Saturday night with his buddies. Under an overpass was a homeless guy. A friend flashed a hunting knife as a joke and the bum laughed, opened his coat and revealed a sawed off shotgun hanging around his neck. Big eyed country boys beat a retreat.
It’s a shame these basketball youths couldn’t meet that guy.
My grandson is on his way to AAU Junior Olympics in Virginia this week. Our family is definitely in the 1% minority in this group. The kids in our particular Texas track club are all well behaved and there are a lot of fathers around to make sure they do. These particular kids in this post don’t surprise me though. It was a real eye opener for us to go to the competition in Covington, Louisiana, and Iowa last year.
Not a lot of parents at the meet in Louisiana except for many of the seventeen-year-old competitors who had their own baby or toddler in tow.

You don’t have to...
I admit, I just do that to see if I can be first.
Really?
Misdemeanors?
REALLY?
