Monday 6:55 p.m.Mobile police need your help to catch a mob that beat Matthew Owens so badly that he's in critical condition.
According to police, Owens fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night. They say the kids left and a group of adults returned, armed with everything but the kitchen sink.
Police tell News 5 the suspects used chairs, pipes and paint cans to beat Owens.
Owens' sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. "It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed." Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using "brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on."
Police will only say "multiple people" are involved.
What Parker says happened next could make the fallout from the brutal beating even worse. As the attackers walked away, leaving Owen bleeding on the ground, Parker says one of them said "Now thats justice for Trayvon." Trayvon Martin is the unarmed teenager police say was shot and killed February 26 by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida.


Man Beaten By Mob, Arrests Expected Today | WKRG


Well, now let's see these same posters out there defending Treyvon Martin come in this thread and show the same of Mr. Owens.

Think Eric Holder will dispatch the 'Hate Crimes Unit' to charge these 20 adults? Or even investigate it?

This is sickening.

Bastards.


It is....And of all the TM threads that burst out to 10 pages within minutes of being posted, the silence is deafening.

Why would you politicise this? Do you think this is Trayvon's fault?
 
There are several similar assaults that have taken place since the shooting. But what do you expect after what the media reported to the American people? The Justice Ministers, Sharpton and Jackson, did their best to stir up racial hatred and even Congressional representatives called for Zimmerman's arrest and accused him of racial profiling on the House floor. President Obama was ignorant enough to involve himself and AG Holder has actually allowed a hate organization to impose a dead or alive bounty on Zimmerman. These people are as responsible for these crimes as the easily led idiots who have committed the physical assaults.

This is a pretty brutal crime and I hope the victim makes it out okay. It's pretty impressive that he's still alive after being attacked by so many people.

In any case, if someone did actually say, "now that's justice for Trayvon", I think that's a shame. I doubt Trayvon's family would want his name associated with this kind of violence and I think it's disrespectful to Trayvon's memory to do this in his name. It's also just plainly irrational to think that beating some random dude would bring any amount of justice for Martin.

I also want to note that the OP's dumbass comments are stupid as hell. They are also ironic. Good job using a tragic story as a ploy to criticize those who have been commenting on another tragic story without even commenting on the tragedy of either story. Lame.
 
Mob mentality sucks...
This is not justice for anyone, just idiotic...

I'm expecting Al Sharpton & Jessie to show up within the hour. :lamo

Why would I politicize this? I am not. I am not the one making the statement after beating a man into a near death experience, that 'this is for Treyvon Martin.

Actually, you politicized it when you mentioned Eric Holder and tried to call out other posters for not doing something that they hadn't even had the chance to do. If you're going to politicize something, at least own it. Personal responsibility, isn't it?

That certainly be a hate crime.

Those race baiters? If they had any sense of humanity, they'd feel shame for what they do.

Very true.

In any case, if someone did actually say, "now that's justice for Trayvon"

But, we have an eyewitness.

I think that's a shame.

It's a shame eh. Just not something that is deserving of rallies, and marches, and bounties right?

I doubt Trayvon's family would want his name associated with this kind of violence

Know them personally do you?

and I think it's disrespectful to Trayvon's memory to do this in his name.

Do what? Beat Mr. Owens? or report on it?

It's also just plainly irrational to think that beating some random dude would bring any amount of justice for Martin.

Do you think it was racist?

I also want to note that the OP's dumbass comments are stupid as hell.

Yeah? Who gives a ****?

They are also ironic.

Oh yeah? do tell...How so?

Good job using a tragic story as a ploy to criticize those who have been commenting on another tragic story without even commenting on the tragedy of either story. Lame.

The tragedy of both is readily apparent...In fact, it would take a pretty thick individual to think otherwise, so if we could dispense with the obvious, and get to the facts, do you, or do you not think that this crime was racially motivated?

Not at all.

This is a fair question from OP:

Think Eric Holder will dispatch the 'Hate Crimes Unit' to charge these 20 adults? Or even investigate it?

As to "other posters?" 'Tis true. Sometimes the silence is deafening.

I would go through all of this and answer it, but the self-respect that prevents me from giving so much time to such idiocy has overpowered me.

Has the president spoken out about this? Has he come out and said this is wrong, this is not America??? Has he said anything about the white 13 year old boy that 2 blacks set on fire or the two black men to found a white man walking alone and attacked him and beat him down and kicked him in the head until unconscious for Trayvon?

Have the parents of Trayvon spoken out about this? Has Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Frederica Wilson, Bobby Rush?

Ok then....I am saddened, but not surprised that you don't have the integrity to respond honestly to the thread...So, Buh Bye now...run along.

I know the racial tensions are very high around here (I live 20 miles from Sanford). I was not aware that they were that high all over the country.

Yes, Obama has done a beautiful job at a post racial society hasn't he?

I read the story and overall, I would wait to say if this is a hate crime as such a crime is about the reason the act was done. However, I will say that these people are a-holes and a through investigation should be done. If this is in fact a hate crime, all of those people should go to jail.
