From my experiences the kids aren't racist. They pick on anyone of any age or color that they perceive as weaker.
I've seen them go after elderly black women on numerous occasions.
If you're of the stature to mentally and physically take of yourself.
Getting in their faces and calling them on their bullshit gets them to back off.
Metro and DC need to start addressing this problem. It's not that difficult to figure out.
Lazy approach… Metro rail curfew for kids and some enforcement
Logical approach… Give them better access to after school and community center programs
Of course, the city will cry about not having the money and will slowly drive residents and the economy back out to the suburbs.

Hmm. How do we know it was unprovoked, other than that's what the TV reporter is telling us? You can't tell from the video what happened. It was girls attacking him? Maybe he copped a feel?

For some reason I don't think a 47 year old guy who works at a flower shop and works out at Results was copping a feel on teenage girls.
Regardless of that, I don't understand why he wasn't fighting back.
I can say that if i were a bystander, I would have run to get help, or called 911 on a cell, but wouldn't not have jumped into the fray myself. Some kids carry weapons; I don't. Some kids (even girls) know how to fight; I don't.

if this would have been a black couple, especially a black marine back from the war, attacked by a group of white kids . . . it would have been on the cover of every newspaper in the u.s.
oh really? you think stories of whites attacking blacks in racially-motivated crimes get blown up on front pages of newpapers?
not on the cover of every newspaper in the u.s. not on the cover of every newspaper in the u.s. not on the cover of every newspaper in the u.s. not on the cover of every newspaper in the u.s.not on the cover of every newspaper in the u.s.etc… there is plenty of hate for everyone. these whites-attack-blacks stories are as buried as the blacks-attack-whites. so please take your delusional, small-minded "whites are the oppressed minority in america" crap to right-wing AM radio where it belongs :)
p.s. your "marine attacked by black kids" video is a story from
Tabloid Prodigy. quality source ya got there!

I actually listened to OK Computer a few weeks ago for the first time since probably 2007. I still get chills from the transition from Let Down to Karma Police. Epic shit.

It's the transition from Exit Music to Let Down that does it for me.

Did you actually watch the video? He was fighting back. I think he actually made the situation worse.

I suppose if pointing and yelling "Why are you doing this, I did nothing to you." is considered fighting back, well yes, I guess he was fighting back. Shame on him for making the situation worse.

Exit Music–>Let Down–>Karma Police, then. Anybody heard this on vinyl? I have to imagine Karma Police begins side b. EDIT: Looks like Karma Police ends side a. Just as well.
