Pregnant Teen Attacked by Strangers on Packed Seattle Bus

A busload of people did nothing to stop a pack of teen girls from beating a pregnant teenager and her boyfriend despite pleas from the victims that she was carrying a baby. The behavior was caught on the bus' surveillance camera and later helped police in Seattle locate the five attackers.

"I'm shocked," said Sgt. John Urquhart of the King County Sheriff's Department. "The video is shocking to look at.

"The ferocity, the intensity, the unprovoked nature" is shocking, he said. "But what shocks me most is that these girls thought they could do this on a crowded bus with adults and do it with impunity."

>>No doubt the parents in Kent wish that they could be parents on Mercer Is. Of course the difference is a
couple hundred more thou per year, and few of the
denizens of Kent make that kind of nut.<<

Yeah, but I’ve lived in both places. It’s not about the money, though sometimes the two go hand in hand. I think of it this way: Are the poor, poor because they are of low moral standards, or are the poor of low moral standards because they are poor.

Sometimes money brings responsibility, and other times responsibility brings money. But it really is true that if you don’t have money, but are responsible, you will find yourself living around “more” irresponsible people than if you have money, so the cops lump you in with the neighborhood in which you live.

IOW, if one of the “responsible people” from Mercer Island went to an event in Kent and pulled out their crystal glasses for a spot of Cabernet, they will be arrested.

Age of consent in Washington is 16.

It is? I thought it was 18. Dang, you mean to say that she made me wait two extra years for nothing? Why, that little...

I just watched it a half hour ago. It had around 140k hits. I think it was the responses that got it removed. There was a lot of racism and a lot of the use of the word “nigger” in the responses.

What I found interesting was that when I called David last night, it had 147 hits. Also, EVERY SINGLE COMMENT was about how disgusting these five girls actions were. No one was defending them. And, equally important, you could see some “class warfare” attitudes from whites that have had it with this carp. You can almost feel the anger that such a thing can go down at all in this country.

And it is clear that it is growing. PC is tearing at the seams - as is our culture.

It really is shocking and depressing that all those people could just sit there and do nothing. I think of all the people I know and am around from day to day... and I can’t think of any of them that wouldn’t jump in to defend that girl. The boyfriend did what he could, kudos to him for that, but he was badly outnumbered. Just a few more helpful hands were all he needed.

I watched that video. The young man was holding off the black girl pack fairly well, although they were using the punches and kicks as a distraction method for picking his and his baby-momma’s pockets. I think they might have taken more than just a pack of cigarettes.

That hen-pecking-style robbery attack is something I’ve seen in the most irredeemable of kid-gangs. This black girl posse was fully experienced at it. They must be a JOY in any school hallway to encounter.

Agreed. However...

That would require those in political power to give up some of said power. And that will never happen this side of total civil collapse.

WTF?? Props to the dude for standing up for his girl, but the minute one of those little b*tches starts KICKING him in the head he should have stuffed her out the window...

I don’t care if you are a female. You start playing big boy games and all best are off. Actions have consequences.

an innocent bystander adult simply trying to HELP would probably be charged with a crime by some annoying Liberal.
It's even worse than that. The security guard in the Panama City school shooting said one of his first thoughts after shooting the perp, was that he was going to be arrested because his first shot hit the guy in the back.
That's what 40 years of liberalism has done to America. It's time to take the country back.

A few weeks ago a ruffian was caught on camera harassing other riders, and then picking one out followed the gentleman off the bus, where he was beaten unconscious for no reason.

Where's Charles Bronson when you need him.

The Civil Rights industry has documented 400 million years of white oppression of blacks and the industry leaders despair that blacks will ever stop truckling down.. if only the industry can collect enough money from private, corporate, and government sources.. but until then the only hope is to use the schools and the MSM to publicize white-on-black violence like burning churches in Missouri and the governor of Texas dragging a black man to death . . . .

I recall a Cops show from 20 years ago featuring Seattle. A black police officer had just rescued a couple of white bicyclists. There was no PC pussyfooting around from that officer: Stay out of the neighborhoods around this part of town. They'll kill you white guys.

Then there was the war on whites at an annual Mardi Gras celebration. youtube will not permit black-on-white violence but so far the Discovery Channel hasn't noticed that people are watching this video from a Seattle Mardi Gras celebration. There was no mention of the death of Mr. Kime so the video may not be from the 2001 Mardi Gras and may just be typical annual celebration.

Thanks to the Seattle police officers associations the city government and police commanders were not able to cover up the 2001 black-on-white violence including at least one white man beaten to death ("Aw.. he just slipped and fell that's all. Yeah, right. The guy stopped the beating of a young white woman only to lose his life) -- which BTW the newspapers ran an article or two about how wonderful it was that the dead man's body parts helped so many people.

Seattle Mardi Gras video

Below is some info about the 2001 Seattle Mardi Gras violence.

Seattle police force voted a resolution of "no confidence" in Chief Kerlikowske when officers complained of being "held back too long". The City of Seattle acknowledged police strategy presented a public safety threat, and settled with Kime's family for just under $2,000,000. Seattle created a task force to investigate the cause of the Mardi Gras riots. Initially task force meetings were closed to the public, but protest forced the city to open them.

NOTICE. NOTICE. Since I posted this Mardi Gras wiki graffiti article link over a year ago the article, of course as is the wiki wont, has been modified, mostly recently: This page was last modified on 4 December 2010 at 05:13.

Don't know that the graffitists are aiming for but as of February 2009 the wiki article comported well with what I remembered from the time of the 2001 violence.

I heard him tale that story in several sermons, and I never tire of it.

Great story.

"I see why ABC blocked out the faces of the attackers: all black."

They were underage is why they were blacked out.

I watched it on TV last night. This was a bruttle attack. It happened some time back and the baby is OK and is about 6 to 8 months old now
