Brandi Allen says she learned her son Brian Ogle had been beaten Friday night only moments after she caught sight of him while she drove by.
"I wish I had stopped," she said. "Or maybe it wouldn't have happened."
Now Allen says her son is looking at more than a month of treatment and rehab in the hospital after he was the victim of a beating Friday night following a Sylacauga High School football game in an attack that authorities say was possibly racially motivated.
Sylacauga police said investigators have met with Talladega County District Attorney Steve Giddens to obtain warrants for suspects in the assault. brian ogle.PNGBrian OgleFamily photo
Police say Ogle was assaulted in the parking lot of an old hardware store Friday night. He is being treated at UAB Hospital for multiple head injuries. Police are still looking into whether the assault could be considered a hate crime.
Police have appealed to community members to be "responsible" in their reaction and "stop the negative posts on social media."
"Our community will never come together as long as your posts are racially motivated," the police stated in a Facebook post on the department's page.
Ogle is currently still in intensive care in critical condition. Doctors are examining him to see if bleeding has stopped on his brain, Allen said. The pain is too intense for him to open his eyes, and he only speaks rarely, she said.
He does not seem to have any memory of the attack.
"He doesn't remember what happened, and they say he'll probably never get that memory back, and I'm glad," she said. "He says, 'Momma, take me home.' He doesn't know why he's here. And we're going to have to get ready to celebrate his 18th birthday here Oct. 21. I'm going to have to tell him why he's here. He's not going to understand."
Allen says she believes her son was beaten because he responded to a post on social media with the phrase "I Back the Blue." She said this came after a disagreement at school over "Black Lives Matter" T-shirts. She says he began receiving threats immediately after.
On Friday night, she said she was skeptical about letting him go to the football game after the threats, but relented.
"I thought, 'He's a senior, this is his last homecoming, let it go,'" she said. Allen said she picked up his younger brother and saw Brian as she drove to a restaurant. She thought about stopping, but "didn't want to embarrass him."
"I go home, I pull into the driveway, and my husband ran out of the house saying Brian just got jumped on. I just lost it," she said, weeping.
"I think I'm still in shock about how all of this happened. My heart hurts because I don't - I can't understand how someone could do something like this to my child. They don't even know him. I would love to bring all of those guys (who beat him) up here and let them look at him," she said.
Allen described her son as a person who is outgoing and loving, active in sports, with friends of different races. She said this year he offered to give up his savings to allow a foster child to attend a prom.
"My son has been made into this awful, racist person that he is not," she said. "He doesn't care where you live. He doesn't care what kind of car you drive. I just wish the people who did this to my son could know they missed out on having a good friend."
Friends have organized a GoFundMe page for Ogle's family, and Allen said she has received messages of support from many in the community.
"I want something good to come out of this," she said. "This can't keep happening. This has got to stop."
“This can’t keep happening. This has got to stop.”
It won’t. There’s a deeper agenda at work here. Obama has let loose the domestic dogs of war.
What a tragedy
Black Lives Matter is PURE Racist Evil.
Recently Obama said that the reason he doesn’t like to use the term ‘Islamic terrorism’ is because he doesn’t want to offend or misrepresent the large majority of Muslims who are peaceful and good people. In every instance Obama, and often the media, and many Republicans (including Bush) have taken great pains to avoid ‘coloring all Muslims with a broad brush just because some are terrorists’. They’ve emphasized over and over how the radicals and terrorists, and now specifically ISIS are not representative of Islam.
Obama, Hillary, race-baiters like Sharpton, and much of the media do not, however, follow that line of reasoning when it comes to race, law enforcement, or gender.
For them, when a police officer shoots a black man it’s not just about that particular police officer or that particular incident - it becomes about ‘ALL’ police and the ‘widespread’ racism in police work (i.e. ‘painting them all with a broad brush’).
When the issue of race comes up in other contexts, rather than saying that the majority of Caucasians are not prejudiced, and that we’ve made leaps and bounds in society, and that it would be wrong to indict a whole race (i.e. whites) as ‘privileged’ and ‘racist’, they (including Hillary and Obama) ‘paint with a broad brush’ and infer that there is deeply ingrained white prejudice and ‘white privilege’.
When it comes to gender, there are those who paint with an equally broad brush to indict men (e.g. ‘all men are potential rapists’, men are intrinsically sexist etc.).
You can’t have it both ways, but they are being allowed to - and this needs to be pointed out - in a measured and judicious way that asks for unity rather than the divisiveness that has become the hallmark of the politics of the left.
Obama has let loose the domestic dogs of war.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Exactly.
Obama is a liberal fascist.
And he is un-American. History will prove him to be the cruelest of presidents, an apologist for a people who are free, and who keep world peace alive.
This is a good read on Obama and what he and his followers mean for history:

Obama has set race relations back 40 years.
It will never stop, every new generation of blacks become more feral, more hateful, and readily commit horrific acts upon anyone. It won’t stop unless a great black leader comes forth ALA MLK and stops it. Otherwise it’s just going to get worse and worse.
Real simple: Track the animals down and dispatch them one by one....
I say that not joking, one bit.
You hurt my babies and your best bet would be to turn yourself into the police because it’s MUCH safer in jail than to face the wrath of a heartbroken Father/Mother.
I suspect you are right. At this point there may be no way to stop. We have been paying poor women to pump out babies with different sperm donors for decades. The fact is roughly half are black urban ferals. That is a fact everyone knows but no one is supposed to notice. If we can’t stop that then we can not stop the violence. It is that simple.
“Obama has let loose the domestic dogs of war.”.....
True. Now, it will be up to the rest of us to put those same “dogs” in cages where they belong or worse. Yes, it does have to STOP.
All things stop but I think what everybody is starting to realize is that, from here, we have to go THROUGH. We can’t avoid what is coming.
“This can’t keep happening. This has got to stop.”
This will not stop until the citizen patriots stop it. Unfortunately not many folks have the courage to stand up, in unison, against these thugs.
I agree with this. We the people must make it stop. It will get worse.
It’s only going to worse, way worse. You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!
Human nature, we’re tribal beings. It will always be an “us” against a “them”. It’s how we’re wired.
Exactly. This is intimidation just like any other terrorist organization. Don’t agree with them? Get threats and violence visited upon you. It is meant to Change your principles.
