Yes, if only all potential victims would just arm themselves, this world would be a much safer place.



NP. No need to be dramatic. But PP is right - one of these days, these punks are going to go after the wrong person. It would actually be refreshing if that happened because that might be the most effective deterrent.


Kids get involved in violence because they have no hope. Shooting a few of them is not going to deter jack shit. You need to show compassion. Violence begets more violence.

Ok, that's a start. But the City Council and courts need to get tougher. Stricter laws need to be passed and the courts need to start handing down meaningful sentences. MPD can make all the arrests they want but juveniles basically get a slap on the wrist.

I couldn't tell what the woman was dong. I think she was trying to intervene. It looked like she had mace. Also that girl spitting on the man was gross and unnecessary.


She looked like she was intervening, but it also looks like she grabs something from beside the victim before running off.


On second look, I think she runs up with phone in hand, tries to push people off the man, phone drops, she picks up phone and runs off. I think she was trying to stop this.

There's a young black woman in a tennis dress who runs after the group as they follow the men and tries to intervene, protecting the victim from further violence. Hard to tell if she's part of the group or is simply just a good Samaritan. But she literally put her body on top of the victim to dissuade the rest of the group from continuing the attack.

I'm sure the police REALLY want to talk to her, as she likely will be able to identify the group and clear did not condone the violence.


I'm not totally sure that's what she's doing? But it's hard to see what's happening. What IS clear is that the main instigator (tall, skinny one with tall hair) engaged in aggravated assault/attempted murder with that last kick to the head. Head injuries are no joke.


+1, looked like she was piling-on to steal his wallet or phone. You can see several of them digging through his pockets.

also don’t forget the Logan circle jogger Wendy Martinez. They knew it was racially motivated but didn’t even prosecute it as a hate crime and the killer got a light sentence of only 30 years for a racially motivated murder

I saw that too. Watched the video a few times to see where she came from.


There's better resolution on MPDs Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt98V_KyQg4

A bunch of the kids have their phones out, so I'm guessing this is on Snap, IG, or whatever social media kids are using these days.
