"The youngsters..." UNBELIEVABLE!
Pound on whitey is not about race? LMAO.
Philly (up is down, down is up) PING
Not about race? Riiiiiiiiiight .....
Whatever Jenice. That’s a hate crime, plain and simple. We’re any black students at Temple attacked?
There is no cure for stupid.
I’m guessing comments on the article are disabled; I don’t even believe this is idiocy, more like intentional propaganda.

I notice that, while insisting the attacks by the “youngsters” were not about race, the authoress does not state how many blacks were beaten up by the thugs. Perhaps her point is that since one of the thugs slugged a horse it proves the “youngsters” were not racists?
NO, that is a claim far too far to make! If it were true, then that would equate to EVERYONE going mad who was anywhere close to the incident(s)! While there has been Juvenile Delinquency (or equivalent) throughout human history, our progressive left has made a habit of justifying or forgiving it in today's minority (largely black) youth.
So who would not be part of the 'anyone' here? How about youths from two parent families? Then again, such families are unlikely to reside in those neighborhoods. How about single parents raising their child(ren) with strong morals? How about youths who have not bought into the gangster culture that has such dominance in those neighborhoods?
Now, one should ask this writer and the society as a whole, which polity/political party, espouses policies that celebrate the destructive conditions found in Philadelphia and its sister cities? What polity/political party has politically controlled those cities for generations yet cannot seem to find ways to improve these conditions? What polity/political party has always found ways to add taxes that drive out the population that can move but spends the revenue on themselves, their supporters but cannot find solutions to this without more taxes?
Thanks to Barack Obama and Black Lives Matters EVERYTHING is about race.
And yet, if one of those “teens” had been shot by a CCW, “Black Lives Matter” would have made it ALL ABOUT race, and would have shut down the city in response.
I agree that not everything is about race. I have no idea about this situation but when a black person is shot by police can we stop making it about race?
"In 1964 the war on poverty was started. Now 20 Trillion later where are we??? You can lead a horse to water but ya can't make the dummy drink."
"But you can't lead a horse into North Philly because it will get punched in the face."
"There was no horse. It was Sarah Jessica Parker. Honest mistake."
I went to the article and checked out the comments there, which were 95% negative towards the author. I’m surprised Philly.com still allows a comments section.
Is the Knockout Game now a team sport? Is this the first civic approved franchise?
“Anyone could have gotten caught up in that madness.”
Yes, if they were white, they could have been a victim for instance.
There is more outrage over an animal being mugged than a human. My question is, “ What kind of jerk kicks and punches a human nearly to death?”
But if it had been whites preying on blacks, it would have been ALL about race.
So which face am I to believe, Madam Author?
It’s only about race when they say its about race and if you disagree, well, then you’re a racist.
