Thomas Fitzgerald never knew what hit him.
One minute he was riding home from his night-shift job and stopping his bike at Broad and South Streets to watch a mob scene that appeared to be getting out of control.
The next, he told a Philadelphia judge yesterday, he was waking up four days later from a medically induced coma, with his hearing impaired and his memory scrambled.
Two other witnesses yesterday helped piece together Fitzgerald's lost minutes as they described how, about 11:30 p.m. May 30, the 53-year-old bicyclist was set upon by eight young males, beaten, and left unconscious and in the middle of a violent seizure.

Not to excuse the criminals but stopping to watch a riot isn't at all a good idea.
Picture of one of the perps at link. Usual suspect.
What’s needed are some “Muzzle Flash Mobs” to handle these punks.
I agree. The criminals bear the fault.
But that sure didn’t sound too bright.
Obama’s brownshirts in action. The uniforms are on order and have not yet arrived.

“Blue” Cesspool City Ping!
Hate Crime?
Cause surely it was a pack of out of control “white youts” attacking an innocent black man on his way home from work? (sarcasm off)
This stuff has got to stop now. Restore law and order in this country, or the citizens will do it themselves.
We were in Baltimore's Inner Harbor not long ago on a Saturday night. There were groups of "youths" hanging around all over the place and we didn't feel safe.
Pics from the scene, including one of the perps. Carry guns, people... remember, if there aren't any police around to protect you from THEM, there aren't any police around to protect them from YOU.
That was the last safe area in Baltimore.
Support concealed carry.
Bring back the death penalty.
I think we can expect more of it. The media should call them gangs and thugs. Giving them cutsie names like “flash mob” is just going to encourage it.
“......Seven or eight others joined in, punching and kicking him as he slid to the ground while other spectators cheered.”
There is much work to be done. *sigh*
A high capacity semi-automatic pistol and a stronger sense of survival would have come in very handy.
