92-year-old man viciously beaten with brick on 4th of July; suspects sought

Notice the title is bland.

An elderly grandfather walking in his Willowbrook neighborhood was viciously attacked by a woman with a brick leaving him with severe injuries.

A witness intervened and snapped a photo of the woman who was making racial comments during the attack.


Still no details...

His family tells FOX 11 that he was visiting LA from Mexico and on the 4th of July.


OK - so he is Mexican.
Grandson erik Mendoza says rodriguez was walking down this sidewalk near 118th and central on 4th of July when he accidentally bumped into the womans child while trying to pass.

...
'And when he turned his back they just tossed him on the floor and she started hitting him, and then she grabbed a brick and started hitting him with the brick, and then out of nowhere he saw 3-4 other guys just come rushing and just start stomping on him.'
They also told him he needs to go back to Mexico.

The article never mentions that the woman is black - but shows a picture of her from a photo taken by someone with the grandfather. She is unlikely to be a Trump supporter.

Doesn't she know that they are on the same political team?
What narrative OP?

The narrative pretty clearly is that Mexicans are all rapists and drug dealers and don't belong in this country.
Seems like his attackers followed the Trump script pretty well.

You seem surprised that his attackers are black as if you've decided that it is impossible for blacks to support the same policies as the president.
Don't real Americans support the president in his efforts to keep Mexicans in Mexico?

Are these not then real Americans trying to protect their country from invaders?

Frankly, OP, I suspect that if the perpetrators had been white, you wouldn't have paid this incident the least bit of attention.

But thanks - now we know that some blacks can be just as xenophobic as some whites.
'Murica!

I am a white man, and never ever felt the world was against me. That feeling is unique to people with issues with insecurity and inferiority complexes.
no. the suspects have not been found. with no descriptions forthcoming, they probably won't be.

This and most cases like it are about:

  • mentally defective vs. normal (or better yet victim)

If this were indeed primary about race it wouldn't have taken a bump of the child to get it started. Unfortunately when most mental defectives have their ire raised, the first ignorant things out of their mouths are racial.

To claim that this was racially triggered is again just race bating.

So it’s a different story when the “mental defective” is black. This post may come back to bite you in the future. She beat the crap out of a 92 year old man with a concrete block and told him to “go back to Mexico”.

Were the 3-4 guys who joined in on the beating also mental defectives? What triggered them?

It’s unfortunate that all violent attacks are either painted as race-related (which people dislike) or not painted as race-related when they should be (as the OP seems to be implying). Everything is hyper-racial now.

It’s just plain disgusting what the woman did to this man. Even if she had built up racial tension, as I have heard it’s dangerous for blacks to step foot in many Mexican neighborhoods in LA, what the heck does that have to do with this 92 year old???!!!!!

Forget race completely; the woman is just a terrible human being for what she did to this man!!!

Sorry, to what "different story" do you refer? And how is it different?

You think the words "viciously beaten with brick" are bland?

Xenophobia, bigotry and racism are human traits found in some members of any subgroup.

They were triggered by the fact that the xenophobic,bigoted and whackadoodle mother accused the man of trying to kidnap her daughter. I suspect those men were acting on that notion alone. And they should face the consequences for doing so.

Just a sobering thought as to what information you're being provided daily, FOX has it's own issues which I'm sure you recognize...but turn that critical eye to the others and you'll see a similar type of ugly.
A google search of the most recent incident of a white person harassing a person of color shows that the color of the harasser (nor the cop who stood by) was mentioned in the titles.

https://www.google.com/search?q=hisp...active&ssui=on

In this article from NBC (the first article I found) doesn't mention the race of the cop or the harasser in the body of the article.

https://www.nbcnews.com/video/man-ha...4235459673?v=a

Likewise the main article from CNN.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/10/us/il...cer/index.html


I don't think the notion that the media universally labels white as such when they behave badly is supported by the evidence.
