6 charged in attack on dad protecting daughter at Valleyfair (Thuggery in Minnesota)
Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) ^ | 7/15/08 | Abby Simmons - Staff Reporter

Posted on 07/15/2008 6:54:37 AM PDT by MplsSteve

The father of a 12-year-old girl who tried to keep a young man from groping his daughter at a popular Shakopee amusement park was seriously hurt late on July 4 after he was allegedly kicked and stomped by a group of men in an attack police called "brutal."

The attack on the unnamed man, which happened just outside Valleyfair Amusement Park, resulted in charges against at least six Twin Cities-area men. They were among several people the initial attacker called on his cell phone to summon them to join the assault.

The group beat up the father as his wife and daughter looked on, police said. The man was seriously injured and unconscious when police arrived.

"We see assaults, but that's brutal," Shakopee police Sgt. Jay Arras said.

Arras said the man and his family were leaving Valleyfair shortly before midnight on July 4 when a man "tried to grab the 12-year-old girl in a sexual manner" near the park exit, the father later told police.

Wow, that's just sick!

Read the names of the suspects and I think you'll get a clearer picture of what happened.

Too bad this guy wasn't a CCW holder. There might be one or two less thugs on this planet.

Comments or opinions - anyone?

I’ll say. The guy needed a gun and he needed to blow away some of these scum. I would have if someone had done such a thing to any of my three daughters in their early or teen years...or now for that matter.

I would be like a rabid dog if some punk attacked one of my kids. But you’re correct, God created man, Smith & Wesson made them equal. I feel for the family.

What clearer picture? Three of them were named Evans...?

My guess is that they have multiple convictions already.

Found this little felony complaint against Devondre.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the rest have prior felonies as well.

Jessie, Al and the rest of the race hustlers who practice see, hear & speak no evil about black young people would be up in arms if Dad had shot one or two of them.

Seems ole Devondre Evans-Lewis had already been picked up in Dakota County, Minn on a prostitution bust.

My guess is they were Somali “youths” who did this. As they groped the girl in public and gang attacked her father and did so brutally.

Over the past several years the Gov has flooded Minnesota with these people. After what they did to our troops (as seen in Black Hawk Down) they have no business in America.

So it went down July 4th, and it’s news to the red star on the 11th

I have no description of the assailants. If they were above the 18 name them. If they were all below the age of 18 cite that

Wasn’t there also another attack on a motorist stuck in traffic while leaving the park?

People just stand around and watch because they’re too afraid of getting hurt, yes, but apparently it’s NOW a CIVIL RIGHT to grope and assualt someone.

Bipedal mammals commit their litters to lives of crime when they give them names like Devondre, Darris, Derry, etc.. And we pussyfoot around the issue. CCW would’ve been great.

I am certain the main showed restraint when the slimeball grabbed his daughter.

I know if it were me he might not have been alive to call his friends

Hate to ask this, but was this a black-on-white crime or a black-on-black crime? The reason I’m asking is if it was the first one, then the mainstream media is either going to ignore it or find some way to excuse this behavior (probably by making it seem like the victim asked for it).
