[Not gonna take it anymore]

Why Roman Catholic students? I thought that kind of thing ended in the 50s.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

There is video at link

I guess blacks just hate Catholics (cough-cough)

It makes me wonder whether the perps are taking clues from jihadists to persecute Christians?

[oldfart]

No, it’s never really ended. It won’t end into idiocy ends.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

According to the video, the perps must be black.

No mention is a mention.

Well, given that the one student mention is named Jimmy Fallon I would suspect that the students attacked were white and the attackers were...um, the “usual suspects”. Sons of Obama in other words.

Funny - no description of the criminals...

what these poor juveniles need is a balanced breakfast

“Why Roman Catholic students?”

By the way, it should be noted that the actual school name is “Roman Catholic High School”. It’s a landmark in Philadelphia, opened more than 130 years ago.

I thought it had closed some years ago because of low enrollment and budget problems. It’s good to see it’s still around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_High_School

he was pummeled by a group of kids in front of the Municipal Services Building at JFK Blvd . . . this is a growing problem in the city

That's unexpected. Who would have guessed that a violent attack would take place right in front of a building that hands out free stuff so that people don't have to work, and on a street named for a man of peace?

You must be new here.

< "Police say that during questioning one of the four juveniles admitted to also being involved in an attack on another Roman Catholic student, Jimmy Fallon, who was jumped the same week as the other incident."

Little Jimmy Fallon got jumped eh?

[JimRed]

Attacks + juveniles + Philadelphia = Black youths

Automatic assumption, right about 99% of the time.

[IronJack]

Catho-phobes?

[SIDENET]

"Urban youths", then "youths", then "teens", and now "juveniles".

The media and their cute little dance around language.

[PGR88]

It was their whiteness that marked them.

[Dilbert San Diego]

do the negro youth get street cred for attacking the Catholic kids???? Were they attacked for being Catholic or just for being white??? Did they earn their street cred and can be full members of the street gang now??? Will they still be members of the gang in good standing if they are in prison???

[Polynikes]

The only reason they made an issue out of featuring the name of the high school was to deflect from the real story.

The more correct headline should be something like

“4 Negro Youths Arrested in Racially Motivated Assault and Robbery of White Student. Hate Crime Charges Pending”
