A 16-year-old male has been arrested after a gang of black youths armed with rocks violently beat a white couple in an unprovoked attack.
Reporters Marjon Rostami and Dave Forster were waiting at a red light at the intersection of Brambleton Avenue and Church Street in Norfolk, Virginia, on April 14 when they were set upon by the 30-strong mob.
But the couple's ordeal was not reported by their employer, the Virginian-Pilot, for two weeks, sparking outrage among some readers who claim the newspaper buried the story for political reasons.
The arrested teen, whose name has not being released because of his age, has been charged with throwing a missile at a vehicle, as well as two counts of simple assault by mob, destruction of property and participation in a riot.
Rostami and Forster were driving back from a concert on the night of the attack when a teenager, who was part of a larger group, threw a rock at their stationary vehicle after reportedly witnessing Rostami lock her car door.
Forster got out of the car to confront the assailant, which is when ‘wave after wave of young men surged forward to take turns punching and kicking their victim,’ according to a column by Michelle Washington, which was the Virginian-Pilot's first report of the incident.

The couple said that there were around 100 youths in the vicinity and 30 in close proximity to their car during the assault.
A day after the unprovoked attack, Forster scoured the internet to see if the incident had been reported, according to Washington's column.
But he was shocked by one Twitter post. 'I feel for the white man who got beat up at the light,' one person wrote. 'I don't,' added another. '(do it for trayvon martin)'.

Umm, run the red light and get the heck out of there?
See..it was provoked.
/White liberal
Amazing to see that people in this country have to go to the UK to finally see independent press coverage of this kind of outrage......
Black children retaliate against white couple stalking them
"They were just sitting there at the intersection. We knew they were watching us."
The Chief of Police said “it was NOT a hate crime?” give me a break! the paper said they didn’t report it earlier because it was a simple assault? %^$&*# to NORFOLK! and only ONE arrest?
Note this is from a UK source....the US media won’t even report it.
We get more like the former Soviet Union with each passing day, you have to get the news about what’s going on in this country from foreign sources.
So let’s see here, a gang of black youths get so deeply offended by somebody locking their car door (implying of course that they might present a danger to the car’s occupants), that they violently attack the people in the car? Hmmmm, irony much?
Only 30 cowardly black savages against 2 innocent whites?
Did they wait for reinforcements from da ‘Hood?
0bama’s MauMau Youth are on the march.
I am from Northern Virginia, not from the southeast Norfolk. Norfolk is a dangerous place. The press is very liberal, and clearly the police chief likes keeping her job. I am thankful for the coverage in the UK Daily Mail, because it has been a hidden story in the US and VA, even though it involved newspaper employees. Be very careful at night in US cities and towns controlled by liberals.
The resident from Northern Virginia says it all.

Gee, nothing like that ever happens to me..(snicker)..
Funny how a large crowd disperses at the first site of THEIR OWN blood, may not stop them but put a few of them down and make your move - for the most part all cowards and would run at the prospect of being confronted violently.
Of course, the ‘white guy’ that shot into a crowd of 100 black yutes would have some ‘splainin to do....
Before the ‘FLAMING’ starts, if a crowd of upwards of 30 people were trying to set upon me, I don’t feel my chances of survival are pretty good, so I definitely will take out as much trash as I can..
Like I have said before, try hijacking me and the least you will end up with is a car with a broken window and blood on the drivers seat, cause I am not coming out of the car any way near willfully.
This is a new attack? I’ll have to look through my links and check it out. I’ve been tracking these stories.
Wait until Zimmerman is cleared. All hell is going to break out. Stay out of the cities, friends.
Something to keep in mind, hidden bumper reinforcement.
Concealed spray nozzles that will send a fog of ammonia and bleach out.
And then multiple warbler sirens.
I just checked my links. This was previously reported here in the US, locally. National news did not pick it up.
Black yutes just doing what comes naturally. I’m ready for the Mexicans to replace them.
Once about 20 years ago in San Francisco a group of these types of angry “youths” surrounded me in my new red Celica. There must have been 40 of them and they swarmed my car and started pounding on it. Broad daylight. Being a single white woman in the wrong neighborhood was my crime I guess. Anyhow I just put my foot on the gas and drove. The ones in front didn’t want to get run over so they parted ways with me. No way would I have gotten out of my car to confront them. Only a fool would do that, in my opinion.
Marjon Rostami - I should have realized what locking the door looked like. I can understand their reaction. I hope they accept my apology.
Dave Forster - I realize I shouldn't have confronted them. My actions that night were wrong and completely out of character.
“And then multiple warbler sirens.”
I don’t think loud noises are going to bother anyone raised on rap “music”;) ...They had an invention in S. Africa that was basically a flamethrower mounted under the car and angled outward of the driver’s side door. Probably would be illegal here, though;)
