As Sarah Kreager, 26, tried to sit down on a Baltimore City bus Tuesday, police say, a middle-schooler told her she couldn’t. When she attempted to take another seat, a middle-schooler wouldn’t let her. Finally, according to police, Kreager just sat down.

She was “immediately attacked” by nine students — three females and six males — from Robert Poole Middle School. They punched and kicked her at 2:59 p.m. at the intersection of 33rd Street and Chestnut Avenue, according to Maryland Transit Administration police.

Kreager was dragged off the bus and her boyfriend, Troy Ennis, attempted to get her back on, police said.

She sustained “serious injuries” and had to be transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, according to a police report.

Where is Bernard Getz when you really need him?

Considering the state of the Public Education system, these 7th graders were probably in their mid-teens, thus almsot fully grown.

I wouldn’t want to have to take on 9 yutes from the ‘hood.

I learned at a young age that if you hit one, you fight them all.

In addition, referring to JENA....”...it felt like a civil right movement...” don’t ya know.

There is little doubt in my mind that all 9 of these kids are seriously damaged and unlikely to be contributing members of society.

“The law does not permit you to strike a child.”

Depends how define child. I have had to look up to talk to some 14y/o and I am of average build. Forfeiting your right to self protection when attacked by a pack of feral beasts is not any way to stay alive. I doubt these were some overgrown toddlers on their way home from day care. I will take care me and mine worry about the consequences later.

Do not date a "man" who cannot save you from a crew of coed seventh graders.

Do not date a "man" who makes/lets you take a Balitmore city bus.

Alternative school students are often given passes to ride city buses, this happened about the same time school would have been done for the day.

They are probably already well-known to the local precinct.

[dynachrome]

Worse than the New York one.

[MNJohnnie]

They were all ready fighting them all. That the whole point of this story. At which point all the rules are off. After a few of them bleed or die, the rest will run.

[oldvike]

A few of these punks go to the hospital or the morgue and this crap will stop

Not true. Anytime they travel in packs and are not alone, they lose all reason and do stuff like this.

[MNJohnnie]

I will take care me and mine worry about the consequences later.

Exactly.

Bullshit, you may defend yourself, some 7th graders are 150 lbs + and 5’6” +...I had a similar experience on the Lexington line in NYC...they are untouchable until they tough you...Junior found that out after I banged his head against the door on the subway car...the conductor (black) told him, “man only defending himself, move along”

9 is a lot of opponents, even if they're smaller and weaker. Still, I'd have more respect for the guy is he had at least kicked the hell out of a couple of them before being beaten himself. I sure as hell would've tried em out, anyway.

Race pimps, parents, and those that “seek to keep the grievances of the black man in the forefront”,

have instilled a racial hatred in a whole generation or two.

Exactly.

“Do not date a “man” who cannot save you from a crew of coed seventh graders.”

Some of those 7th graders could have been 17-18 years old.

“The law does not permit you to strike a child”

In self defense?

[JamesP81]

The law does not permit you to strike a child.

Then, in this case, the law is an ass. Besides that, these creatures hardly qualify as children, as far as I'm concerned. They've crossed the line to thug.

Greene said the investigation into the incident was ongoing and she didn’t know whether the attack had anything to do with the victim’s race.

The suspects in the incident are black. The victim is white, according to the police report.

The pimps and the hos didn't want no honky sitting on their bus seats.

Is this a hate crime?

Nah, but since I mentioned hos, I will be getting a notice of a hate crime from fat albert or heimytown jesse.
