A tourist was savagely beaten, stomped and spit on by a gang of over a dozen youths at the entrance to the Washington Hilton Hotel around 1 a.m. on July 14, according to Washington, D.C. police who released hotel surveillance video showing the brutal unprovoked attack. The Hilton–located about twelve blocks north of the White House at 1919 Connecticut Avenue and T Street, NW–is a key part of official Washington, playing host to presidents, foreign dignitaries, business and political gatherings including the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. It is also where President Ronald Reagan was shot by a would-be assassin in 1981.
In the video, the male victim is seen walking with another man toward the lower T Street entrance of the hotel, just feet from where Reagan was shot while walking out from the hotel after giving a speech there. A group of young males and females appear to have laid a trap for the two men, coming at them from the front and rear as they approach the hotel entrance. The victim is punched by a tall slender man who comes at him from the front, setting off a mob attack that quickly puts the victim on the ground while his friend ducks into the hotel. More attackers approach and take turns punching and kicking the man, with some stomping on the his head. The friend comes back out and intervenes but is punched in the face and retreats. The final attacker walks up and spits on the man as he is sprawled limp on the ground.

I’m glad that my wife and I stayed at a hotel in Virginia when we went to DC a couple of weeks ago.
I don’t go where I can’t carry a gun.
Looks to me like at least some of the faces are very clear and easy to identify.
This is so commonplace, what with the descriptive “youths”, one wonders why it’s even in the news.
“I don’t go where I can’t carry a gun.”
Neither do we.

Not that the victim deserved what he got in any way, but I have no doubt that the victim knew his assailants in some way or another.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
May be true — the first perp ran ahead of the mob and pointed, as if to say “is this the guy?”
Then again he might have said “Over here, let’s get these crackers”.
Those darn teens again
Looks to me like black animals beating a white guy.
#$$#ing worthless race, 80 percent of them.
Go ahead, report me.
And the other friend got hit and back off?!?!?
You fight for your friend until the end!!
I’ve been there.
Could NEVER face a friend I abandoned in that way again.
D.C. is a complete sh*thole beyond some of America’s most cherished buildings,monuments and belongings. This country has demographics of subhumans and a political party that embraces them.
Seems to me the hotel should have security. Why are those teens all over the place on the hotel property? How does the hotel even have any customers if they are getting beat up like that.
What makes you say that?
I guess they don’t expect a mob of animals to attack the customers.
I gotta be honest, there’s not usually a huge security detail at upscale hotels.
Not that I’ve ever seen.
I honestly don’t know.
I know some beautiful hotels that are only blocks away from where the animals live.
I do valet parking in and out.
I was thinking perhaps the victims didn’t so much “know” the mob members, but perhaps had an interaction with some of them on their way back to the hotel. Something along the lines of the victims having said something to a couple of them - maybe the females, mob members felt disrespected and called for backup.
Looking at the video, it just appeared to me that the victim was a specific target and not a random one. They wanted HIM for some reason. I’m guessing since the women were involved, it might have had something to do with that. This looked like revenge to me.
first thought: is this DC Mogadishu or DC America?
first reaction: the mayor is still in office as of this hour, why?
