On Sunday, a 72 year old woman entered the north vestibule of St. Cecilia’s Cathedral on 40th and Burt Street. As she stood at the welcome table reading a copy of the parish newsletter, two black men, approximately 16 years of age, entered behind her. One grabbed her purse from her arm and ran out the door. The second, for no explainable reason, hit the woman squarely on the side of her face, knocking her down .
The incident has sparked outrage. Police are now looking for the men responsible for attacking the 72-year-old woman.
WOWT 6 News heard from her granddaughter Tuesday afternoon. She said thankfully her grandmother is now doing fine.
The church pastor said security video shows the woman look around as if she noticed the other people but she never sensed any potential threat.
She made her way through the doors picked up a pamphlet and was blindsided. One assailant grabbed her purse and the other punched her, knocking her to the ground, gashing her head on the table.
The attackers took off down the street. The victim went to the hospital.
The pastor said the entire parish is hoping the people responsible are caught.
Fr. Michael Gutgsell said, "Of course it's shocking because we haven’t had anything like that here - at least not in 10 years. And so obviously we prayed for her the next two masses and the parishioners are now concerned. ‘Is it safe? Should I be in the church?’ And we tried to assure them this is a safe place and it was something completely out of the blue."
If you recognize the men responsible or saw anything suspicious in the area of 40th and Cuming or 40th and Burt let police know. The number you need to call is 402-444-STOP.

“two black men, approximately 16 years of age”
Men?!?!?!
They’re hardly men.
However, I believe that they should be tried as adults because of the crime.
They will never be men.
With that bun, SOMEBODY knows who he is right away. That is unique. For enough money, he’s already caught.
Or for Florida State’s Athletic Program.
That’s gone. The article has been sanitized. No reference to race.
Scummy.
Nothing shocking about punching her down. It is but one more replay of the “knockout game.” The puncher loses points because she wasn’t killed.
This type of response wouldn't prevent future such attacks, because an animal remains an animal no matter what. But at least those animals thus "reconditioned" will never sire more killer salamanders. Plus, we'll know who they are because they'll walk so funny!
;^) And that's good enough for me.
There’s an agenda...
This is because of white privilege. Hands Up - Don’t Shoot. Black Lives Matter. Every other bullshit excuse for black thuggery...
Basturds! But for Free Republic, we'd never know.
