Thugs attack cabbie, passenger IN A HORRIFIC assault in Center City on Saturday night, three teenagers who were spouting racial slurs pulled a man out of a cab to beat him. And when the cabdriver intervened to stop the assault, the teens turned their rage on him, police said yesterday. About 8:25 p.m., a cab was stopped at a red light at 15th and Chestnut streets when two 17-year-old boys and a 15-year-old boy approached and started calling the male passenger in the back seat racially derogatory names, police said. The boys then threw an unknown liquid at the cab before they opened the door, pulled the passenger out and started to pummel him, police said. When the cabbie got out of the car to see what was going on, the passenger ran away and the teens turned on the cabbie. They punched him in the face, kicked him and threw a liquid on him, police said. Despite being outnumbered, the cabbie grabbed a tire iron from his trunk, at which time the teens ran away. The driver flagged down a police officer, and the three boys were arrested. They were charged as juveniles with aggravated assault and related offenses. The cabbie suffered an injury to his right eye and had abdominal and side pain, police said. The passenger remains unidentified. Police said the three teens were black and the cabbie and passenger were white. Police did not immediately know whether the teens would or could face hate-crime charges. According to police records, the cabbie worked for Liberty Taxi Co., but a dispatcher working there yesterday was surprised none of the drivers he'd spoken with were aware of the assault. Police declined to provide the name of the driver, so the dispatcher could not confirm whether he was an employee. "This would be something that would be big news," the dispatcher said. "It would have been a highly charged moment that drivers would be talking about." http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20120130_Thugs_whup_up_on_cabbie__passenger.html?c=r They really screwed up with the racial name-calling. If they hadn't did that this would be just another Philly teens being Philly teens incident. Philly needs to allow citizens to exercise their constitutional rights and carry concealed firearms. _ _
The color of the children matters little, however the actions of them matters greatly. It shows a lack of parenting.
Philly - of course. You DON'T want to get caught breathing in Philly. Especially if you're White. <shudder>
The best part was when the cabbie grabbed a weapon, the (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) teens ran away. Such courageous studs these black youths are. Never seen people so tough when they have a 6 on 1 advantage. As soon as the odds even up a bit, they take off back to their row houses.
Just the threat of the unknown regarding CCW will cool these flash mobs right down. They will still occur in gun-free zones, but at least the streets of Philly and Chicago would be safer for non-drug sellers. _
These incidents are only going to get worse. If the one crime you can't get punished harshly for is attacking Whites, expect more Whites to be attacked.
Since, the establishment appears to be powerless to stop these attacks, it's time for Philly, Chicago, and Illinois to respect the 2nd amendment rights of Americans. _
This is part and parcel of the left-of-center view--no, to describe it as a "view" is really to give it far too much credit; it is more like an article of faith--that only white people can be guilty of racism. And, of course, the attendant view that only white people can be guilty of hate crimes...
they can't be charged with hate crimes that is a mockery of the law, they were oppressed black kids who were robbing not hunting for whites.
Well I do not in any way blame the kids or their parents. I blame the Gubermint and the media. If this was race based they should not be punished for it but every (*)(*)(*)(*)ing idiot that has told them they are oppressed and looked down upon by the whites should have their asses kicked. If you tell any man that they are oppressed for long enough they believe it. They will want leaders who will stop the oppression and the (D) are there to get the vote and they keep the (*)(*)(*)(*) stirred up to keep getting the votes.
What is the truth behind the police saying they 'would not/could not' charge these miscreants with hate crimes? Imagine if the races had been reversed! BTW what was the mystery liquid the perps threw? Filthadelphia is now unofficially off-limits for European-Americans. Fifthteenth and Chestnut is part of Center City! 8:25 PM is not that late. The victims were in a cab! Not long ago European-American women by were physically assaulted by black youths at City Hall in downtown Philly. Philly or Johannesburg?
Of course! Racism only exists in the form of whites against blacks. Anything a black person does to a white person is automatically justified because they are an oppressed people. All white people, except liberals are racists. Any crime committed by a black person, including rape, assault, murder, drug dealing, pimping, fraud and blackmail [that name has to be changed instantly!] and extortion is the result of oppression and has been caused by white racists. The United States must pass a new amendment to the constitution immediately, exonerating all blacks of all crimes before crimes are committed. That same amendment should enable a special tax on all racists so that every black person can be given an SUV to make up for the oppression perpetrated on all blacks, including the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Halle Barrie, Herman Cain and Jesse Jackson. All blacks must be exonerated from all forms of taxation, including sales taxes and income tax. Any black running for public office must be granted an automatic 10,000 vote margin except when running against other blacks. In such a case the Democratic black should be given a 20,000 vote margin while the racist Republican candidate should be assessed a 10,000 volt penalty. Independent black candidates must be taken out and shot. The oppression must end.
I am so grateful there are people in the world who can see into the minds of others they have never met based on a news item. To be able to determine motive without a trace of bias is a unique gift. It is through these astonishing powers that the world will be rid of all crime, indecency and bacteria! End the oppression now!
None of the above, sir. This crime was caused by conservatives and all their aggressive talk about guns, putting people in their sights and references to hunting poor, poor little deers and bunny rabbits. It is this kind of irrational talk that has frightened black youths who have DNA memories of slavery. These poor oppressed young people are only trying to defend themselves from the race-based genocide they know is coming. As a result, all conservatives must be taken out an shot this instant. End the oppression now!
Yes it is inexplicable quite. I don't understand it. Is Obama making a speech or something? Perhaps there is a new altar constructed at which everyone has gone to worship his likeness and enjoy free Kool Aid.
Whenever I run across the ridiculous modifier, "oppressed" (or any word form thereof), I immediately discount the rest of what the poster may have to opine, on the subject at hand...
These are hate crimes and as such they should not be tolerated by the U.S. Justice Department. "It is my official position that hate crimes exist only if blacks are attacked by whites. When whites are attacked by blacks, these are merely acts of retribution for hundreds of years of racial segregation and willful oppression."
