Akron police say they aren’t ready to call it a hate crime or a gang initiation. But to Marty Marshall, his wife and two kids, it seems pretty clear.
It came after a family night of celebrating America and freedom with a fireworks show at Firestone Stadium. Marshall, his family and two friends were gathered outside a friend’s home in South Akron.
Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ”This is our world” and ”This is a black world” as they confronted Marshall and his family.
The Marshalls, who are white, say the crowd of teens who attacked them and two friends June 27 on Girard Street numbered close to 50. The teens were all black.
”This was almost like being a terrorist act,” Marshall said. ”And we allow this to go on in our neighborhoods?”
They said it started when one teen, without any words or warning, blindsided and assaulted Marshall’s friend as he stood outside with the others. When Marshall, 39, jumped in, he found himself being attacked by the growing group of teens. His daughter, Rachel, 15, who weighs about 90 pounds, tried to come to his rescue. The teens pushed her to the ground. His wife, Yvonne, pushed their son, Donald, 14, into bushes to keep him protected
The police are not ready to call it a hate crime? Wanna take a bet on what would happen if 40 white teens beat the crap out of a black family? The race hustlers, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton included, would be all over it like flies on shit. The teens would immediately be decried as racists and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It’s only racist if you do it to an African American I guess.
I have a suggestion…why not get ride of hate crimes and racist prosecutions all together. How about, if you attack someone like that, you go to jail. No matter the skin colors involved. America needs to start being more color blind.
