This shouldn’t come as a surprise. It is not the first J4MB attack. In the year after the Trayvon Martin shooting there were over a dozen J4TM attacks. In this example you see black teens attacking white victims after inquiring about Mike Brown.
ST. LOUIS • A 43-year-old man who was riding a MetroLink train Monday night was attacked by several men after one of them asked him about the Michael Brown “situation,” police said.
A video posted to Facebook appears to show the attack.
Police said the victim, who is white, was punched and kicked by three black men, one of whom had made the reference to the teen killed in Ferguson by a police officer Aug. 9.
The assault took place about 8:54 p.m. as the eastbound train was nearing the Forest Park Metrolink platform, police said. The victim told police he was seated on the train when the three men approached him from behind.
One of the men, who was 20 to 25 years old and wearing a red T-shirt, asked the victim if he could use his cellphone, and the victim said no.
The man then asked the victim “what he thought about the Mike Brown situation.” The victim responded that he hadn’t thought much about it, according to the police report.
The man in the red shirt then punched the victim in the face and struck him multiple times, police said.
The victim was unsure if the other two men had joined in, but video surveillance of the incident confirmed that they had, police said. They are both described as black men between 18 and 22 years old age. Police did not give a further description. (read more)
