[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ What the couple has pieced together from the blood trail in the alley, John’s injuries and police discussions is that John was knocked out by the first punch, thrown down the rest of the stairs and "stomped out" as the police told them — kicked in the body and face repeatedly.

A neighbor’s camera footage shows the kids leaving the alley shortly after, “Strolling with no sense of urgency or fear, though John was unconscious and bleeding badly a few feet behind them,” Jane said.

On a video recorded by a neighbor’s security camera, the teens can be heard exclaiming how the video on one of their phones was still on and recording during the assault. “I had my phone still recording!” one boy says. “You ain’t move it?” the other asks. “Yeah,” the first boy responded. (Petworth News verified the audio from the security footage — though the video did not capture the assault.)

John had six bones broken in his face, including his orbital bone, nose and jaw, and had most of his front lower teeth broken. “There was so much blood that it has seeped into the concrete in the alley and won't go away, despite cleaning,” Jane said. “My children will see it.”

“We believe in the city, believe in staying here,” Jane said. She said her first reaction was to leave — sell the house. Run. For the first time, she thought “Can we afford Bethesda? Can we afford Takoma Park or Silver Spring?”

Curious if they sold.[/quote]

There should be no place for such racial hate, wherever it may be coming from.[/quote]
