The Mob in Mobile: The roosting of the Trayvon Martin chickens.

MOBILE, Ala. -- Last Saturday night at 8:20 p.m., when the white Matthew Owens was beaten into critical condition by a mob of dozens of black neighbors, Al Sharpton and the New Black Panthers got what they wanted: a white victim, any white victim, in payback for the killing of Trayvon Martin. May God have mercy on their miserable souls -- because the rest of us should shun them mercilessly from all decent society.

Delmar Drive is one of those long, long blocks, the equivalent of probably four long city blocks without a single cross street, which sometimes gets wedged into odd nooks of American cities. At its entrance off of Pleasant Valley Road, Delmar seems to feature mostly black residents in decently maintained houses. From about three-fourths of the way down the street and on to the dead end, most residents, of similar houses, appear to be white -- but without an absolute segregation on either end of the street. One sees no reason why race should necessarily be an issue there.

Nonetheless, a white man in a business suit at dusk in a racially tense neighborhood under a national spotlight is wise not to ask too many questions of angry black people on the street. Better to return in broad daylight. But the composite picture from white witnesses about what happened last Saturday night leaves almost no doubt that racial animus played the major role in the vicious beating. Their account, perhaps one-sided but told quietly and with obvious sincerity, follows.

Yes, Mr. Owens apparently had run-ins with black neighbors before. There was another incident where he was reportedly hit in the head (once) with a stick. This beating wasn't just about basketball in the street. Neighbors do describe children or teenagers playing ball and refusing, rather...

Muhammad is dead, Malvo will die in a Virginia State Prison.

Think about this for moment, between 15 and 40 people beat this guy up and they have arrested a total of one person. How hard of an investigation can this really be?

I think the county's going to re-segregate.

“What will happen is, the white people will move out of this neighborhood and avoid this area completely. In a couple of years it will look like the proverbial “war zone”.”

I can't think of anyone who would want to live near people like that...

Chicago was paying thousands of dollars in bonuses to move families from the projects to the suburbs.

Neverdem,

Here’s another Trayvon attack - could you post it? I’m clueless on that front...

Some describe the attack as lasting at least five minutes, with Owens screaming for help but neighbors unable to do much in the face of such a large mob.

What a shame. This is why I bought a Saiga 12 gauge and worked it to absolute reliability. "Let the bodies hit the floor".
