That's an awful story, but why do you, as usual, have to make it a "Florida" thing?

^^^ Most of the bystanders were probably the same people that attacked the man and his wife, young black thugs. Please save me the racist comments. It is what it is.

Chris, you have to remember where this was (seems to be a not-so-nice area in Bradenton) and who attacked the couple. Young punks with that mentality are everywhere.

Well, actually one guy with a gun managed to "do something" and is credited with ending the altercation.

I'm not quite sure what you would expect the average bystander (without a gun) to do when faced with 17 young thugs? Join the fight?

Unfortunately that kind of thing is not an isolated incident anymore. This country is about to see what happens when a whole generation of entitled kids with poor educations and divorced parents/broken households has to run this country. It's sad, but I see this kind of thing too often nowadays, and unfortunately there is usually only one stereotypical group of people to blame.

One would think with all of the movies Tyler Perry and other leaders with good messages puts out that this sort of thing would be more isolated and frowned upon, but I guess nobody ever takes anything from movies or tv shows with messages. I hope some of those kids rot in jail and enjoy the good life behind bars for a while (even that won't stop them from being menaces to society...it'll only make things worse).

Duplicate thread.

Well, we made the national news...

Problem is this happens all over America anymore, not just in Florida.

I traveled the country and ran into and see this happening in cities like St Louis, Philly, Baltimore, Detroit, Atlanta, Memphis all the time.

Next thing you will see the thug punk kids make themselves out to be the victims.

I hope these kids get treated like adults and spend years in jail.

This is an epidemic in America to see young black kids in groups attacking people and no one is doing anything about it.

The parents need to do their darn job and raise their kids better.

They are lucky the hero veteran was not carrying a gun himself and picked them off one by one to protect his wife from the scumbags.

This is not a Florida thing and is happening all over America by youths in gangs, groups etc.

I agree with you.

To stand and watch a women get knocked out by a bunch of criminals is insane.

It's too bad he didn't. The kid that punched the marine's wife... he should have at least 1 bullet in him.

Maybe it's the "white guilt" in me and I feel uncomfortable saying it, but how often do you read something like this happening and it's white youth? I don't fully blame blacks because our society has been run over by a PC mob that inadvertently breaks black families and degrades cultural values (that we all used to have).

This definitely happens in Atlanta. I tried riding MARTA at 11:30 one night to avoid a DUI (and because I live across the street from a midtown station), and I happened to be the only white person on the platform. A group of thugs hastled me, and I ignored them. I guess they got mad because they surrounded me and beat my innocent white boy's ass straight to the ER with a broken nose, cheekbone, and busted eye. There were ~30 innocent bystanders who did nothing and the cops were basically of no help (in fact I was losing a lot of blood and they were mad at me for confusing them with security instead of calling them "officer"...they were black, too, but I don't know if that had anything to do with it).

I went to Georgia Tech, which is nestled between downtown and midtown and borders a couple of rough patches. Almost every week I got Clery GT Police emails notifying the student body of incidents. 95% of the time it was black on student (which at Tech means white or Asian), and I never read of help by bystanders and I too often read about groups of thugs ganging up on just one or two students (anything ranging from armed robbery to assault, sometimes fatal, to intimidation, to just about anything). It's an epidemic that the black community needs to speak out on and the media needs to report. In fact, the only time I read of a white perp was recently when a possible student came at a fraternity brother with a hatchet in the fraternity's yard late at night (I mean I'm just assuming it was another white fraternity brother of a different house...they never caught the guy and there was no description).

In fact, there was another recent MARTA incident when a national champion chess player was riding to the airport in broad daylight, and I guess he offended a thug on the train who shot him to death. Apparently the thug wanted the guy's cell phone (exactly what happened to me...just give it up guys!), and a struggle ensued, nobody intervened, and the thug just shot the poor 19 year old chess champ who was in school to become a cop. It was a tragedy. Also, check out this video of "Marta girl" harassing a poor elderly lady (this is black on black, but none of the other guys on the train do anything to stop this wretch of a girl until she goes after one of them):

It's really quite pathetic. You can hear other riders actually laughing. That poor lady. She grew up in a different era, that's for sure!
