The OP's opinion of North Side is offensive. It's a diverse part of the city with a significant black and white population.

It's not a dangerous area people only go to buy drugs. Concord Street is the short cut to 279N too. I drive through there often.

I was referring mostly to some of the comments on this thread. Obviously this attack is inexcusable, but it is also her word against theirs.

The article states that there were numerous witnesses to this brutal attack, some of whom were interviewed. If a group of thugs (even if they were female) decided to throw a bottle at my vehicle you'd better believe I'd stop and confront them. It's called having respect for the property of others.

As a white male I'm just tiring of being told I'm the only one capable of being racist when I've personally felt the sting of black-on-white racism here in the East End. If Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton say it's not racism, then it's not racism, correct?

Best to leave the word "liberal" out of your discussion, unless you look it up first. It is obvious you haven't a clue what the word means.
And it is obvious you haven't a clue what using scare quotes means, and to misunderstand punctuation and then express indignation makes you seem like.... well not that bright. No offense of course, just trying to educate you a bit.

I question her story as well. Savagely beaten on Sunday, but the injuries don't look that severe.

Something about all of it seems a little too convenient.

What about those who were interviewed who witnessed the attack?

This just infuriates me because if three white girls had thrown a bottle at a car being driven by a black girl and then beat her senseless while screaming racial slurs at her, then this would be a media firestorm. Other than WPXI no other local media outlet (even the traditionally conservative Tribune-Review) is covering it. Why?

Trayvon Martin is dead. A bit more serious, wouldn't you say?
