Wave after wave of young men surged forward to take turns punching and kicking their victim.
The victim's friend, a young woman, tried to pull him back into his car. Attackers came after her, pulling her hair, punching her head and causing a bloody scratch to the surface of her eye. She called 911. A recording told her all lines were busy. She called again. Busy. On her third try, she got through and, hysterical, could scream only their location.
Church and Brambleton. Church and Brambleton. Church and Brambleton.
It happened four blocks from where they work, here at The Virginian-Pilot.
Two weeks have passed since reporters Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami - friends to me and many others at the newspaper - were attacked on a Saturday night as they drove home from a show at the Attucks Theatre. They had stopped at a red light, in a crowd of at least 100 young people walking on the sidewalk. Rostami locked her car door. Someone threw a rock at her window. Forster got out to confront the rock-thrower, and that's when the beating began.
Oh and the obligatory Trayvon Martin link:
Quote:
The next day, Forster searched Twitter for mention of the attack.
One post chilled him.
"I feel for the white man who got beat up at the light," wrote one person.
"I don't," wrote another, indicating laughter. "(do it for trayvon martin)"
Do we really need to throw "liberals" and "convervatives" into everything? We're ignoring every problem in this country because everyone just sits with glazed over eyes and blames the "liberals" and the "conservatives".
Even in the thread about obesity, people are commenting on the liberals. Seriously? You eat too much and don't move around at all. You get fat. We're ignoring the entire problem and just blaming some vague term so we don't have to face any of the facts.
This is really scary but in line with countless other attacks by black gangs upon white victims over the years and across the miles:
Quote:
The officer pointed to public housing in the area and said large groups of teenagers look for trouble on the weekends. "It's what they do," he told Forster.

Virginia is a swing state. I wonder if this couple will be switching from Obama to Romney a result of this beating? This beating could cost Obama the election!
All the more reason to be carrying a weapon when this sheet is going on. One round into the head of the first punk that came up to take a swing would have ended that one. Of course then Sharpton and the boys would be on the next plane screaming about how some poor black guy just walking the street minding his own buisness was gunned down for no reason other than his skin color.
