Arrests expected today in Mobile mob beating. The Ace has lots.
UPDATE 2:
MOBILE, Alabama -- Wednesday 12:45 a.m.
Mobile police did not make an arrest before the end of the day as they expected. But police are in the process of serving warrants.
Neighbors say Matthew Owens chased off a group of black kids with kitchen knives after the boys lost a basketball in his sister's yard.
UPDATE: No arrests as of 8:35 PM but
Mobile police tell News 5 they still hope to make an arrest in the Matthew Owens case before the end of the night.
From watching some of the video clips I infer that Mr. Owens dropped the "N" bomb on a group of kids playing basketball, and has done so regularly. In one clip (the Lauren Vargas' live shot) we are told that Mr. Owens is "bipolar" and "he drinks" by "a black woman who lives on the street", eventually identified as Lemica Whisenhunt. Owens also has a history of, or with, violence - details are below, but in three incidents since 2009 a black man hit him with a bat, a black man punched him in the face, and he punched a white man in the face. Sounds like Owens is a one man EEOC of idiocy. [But over to a late update from WKRG:
The Mobile County Metro Jail log shows police have arrested Owens numerous times over the past 12 years for things like domestic violence, assault and sex abuse. His first arrest was November 4, 1990 for assault. The last time officers transported Owens to jail was last March on a domestic violence charge.
Regardless of what happened Saturday night leading up to the beating, police and most people would agree that it is not an excuse to put Owens in the ICU.]
Count us among the 'most'.
Also one kid (maybe ten years old?) claims that Mr. Owen was swinging a knife and cut his forearm. The camerman did not zoom in for a close-up, which either means he won't be getting a Pulitzer Prize for his work anytime soon, or else he didn't actually see anything on the kid's arm.
This article has a bit of a misquote from an Ms. Whisenhut, an angry black mom:
Tonight, an angry mother who lives on the street told News 5's Blake Brown that the kids who live on Delmar Drive are the real victims.
"Every single day it's a problem with Mr. Owens concerning our kids," Lemica Whisenhunt. "All these kids do is shoot basketball. We keep 'em in the yard. They don't bother anybody. We'd rather them play basketball than to be around here vandalizing, breaking into people's homes. We try to bring our kids up the right way and show people that all black kids are not bad."
"All black kids are not bad"? Racist! She corrected herself midway through that sentence; it should read "...and show people our black kids are not bad.. I don't think no black kids are bad."
We wish her Good Parenting Guide had a section on mob violence and the inadvisability thereof. As to the notion that kids can either play basketball or vandalize homes, I had no idea Mobile was so limited in its opportunities.
OWENS WAS TROUBLE, OR TROUBLED: From Brendan Kirby of the Press-Register:
Records from Mobile County Metro Jail show that Owens has been arrested numerous times. [Cpl. Christopher Levy, a spokesman for the Police Department] detailed 3 violent confrontations he has been involved in since 2009.
In July of that year, Levy said, police took a report that someone hit Owens with a baseball bat [This was Terry Rawls, arrested for the recent beating]. At that time witnesses told police that Owens yelled racial slurs and threats at a black man in the neighborhood. No one was charged in that incident, Levy said.
Parker said his brother-in-law was walking peacefully down the street at the time and that he was talking to himself but that assailant thought he was talking to him.
In an Oct. 29 incident, police said, a black man walking up the street asking for cigarettes eventually stopped at Owens’ home. An apparent disagreement ensued, and the man hit Owens in the face, police said.
Then on Dec. 16, Levy said, Owens was accused of fracturing the nose of a 53-yer-old white man after an argument.
FWIW, there are reportedly two witnesses to the "Justice for Trayvon" shouting - Owens' sister and a white neighbor.
ERRATA: Weapons included "brass buckles" not "brass kuckles". Here is the Daily News getting it wrong, with a cite:
Matthew Owens is in critical condition he was attacked at his home in Mobile by a group wielding chairs, pipes, paint cans and brass knuckles, according to WKRG.
Over to WKRG:
Owens was beaten Saturday night in front of his home on Delmar Drive. Witnesses, including Owens sister, say 20 black people attacked Owens with pipes, paint cans and chairs...
Big Skip and
Owens' sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. "It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed." Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using "brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on."
It's the old 'take your belt off and beat someone with the buckle' trick. People grabbing paint cans and chairs are using improvised weapons.
Here is Andy Campbell of the HuffPo getting it wrong:
Cops told WKRG that Matthew Owens got in an argument with some kids playing basketball at a court in the city of Mobile on Saturday night. The kids left and a group of some 20 adults arrived at Owens' front doorstep, armed with chairs, brass knuckles, pipes and paint cans.
I infer that Mr. Campbell never read 'Battle Cry' by Leon Uris, where I first encountered the brass buckle ploy.

A buddy and I were playing on the woods. We were starting fires, and we'd let them spread a little then put them out.

This whole thing is race baiting in reverse.
It is a big game of flinch. The idea is not to get the blacks to riot. Instead the plan is to make whites flinch and become the moving party.
This will allow Obama to quell the masses by having proof that racism(in forward) exists the same as it did when Robert Byrd donned the white hood.

I don't know if I agree with that from two angles. First, the JEF is so inept I can't believe he's a success at doing anything other than being an inconsequential goof. Second, I think there are 2 tiers when you look at "improvement": Well educated and poorly educated blacks. As far as the latter group goes, I don't see much improvement at all. In the former group there's been quite a bit but you still have the troubling segregation of voting patterns. And like it or not, you can't ignore how the reactions to the OJ verdict split on racial lines.

There is a common thread in this attack in the Mobile and Trayvon/Zimmerman cases. No one is allowed to question, correct, impede, disapprove of or even look at the black kids. They are not to be interfered with in any way. To do so is extreme provocation and you are asking for trouble. It is viewed as questioning the culture and/or parenting skills. Anyone that touchy about their kids knows they are doing a crappy job.

It's feather season: Cleo using the word "insane" is a laugh by itself. Couple that with Chris Matthews using "GOP Wizards" and it's easy to follow the talking points.
Perhaps our fourth greatest and first ever white black president can trot out his
knockout(oops) boffo speech on race and throw his typical white grandmother under the bus again. Maybe he can invite the odd man out and the twenty "neighborhood watch" fellas to a beer summit in the ICU. Maybe he can have the Mobile yutes in for a few hoops with him at the WH. Pointing out that the odd man "acted stupidly" in a national speech might fix things in some quarters.Posted by: Frau Steingehirn | April 24, 2012 at 04:05 PM

Are the Mobile defendants claiming self-defense?
Posted by: NK | April 24, 2012 at 04:23 PM
RSE: My daughter and granddaughter live in Orlando, in the heart of the GZ/TM affair. I knew my daughter, who despises Obama and all the race baiters, would agree with me about this case, my granddaughter I wasn't so sure about. She is a college student and is at the end of her first semester of internship, which I take is the same as what we used to call "student teaching." But, to my surprise, she is even more adamant that GZ is getting railroaded and she says all her friends feel the same way.
She is also a performer and has a regular gig at a local club. She was telling me that they have a running "benefit" going to collect funds to be donated to the GZ defense fund. From my daughter, I have been told that this club caters to a diverse group of patrons, mostly young 20-somethings, some black, some Hispanic, some from many other ethnic groups and about 1/3 to 1/2 white, depending on the night. They have collected, so far, just a little over $2000. She also told me that when they found out that Trayvon wasn't an angelic 10 year old, per original photos, they felt they had been lied to and are not very forgiving about that.
Not sure just how tuned in she was, I asked her if she knew who Corey is. Her answer, yes she's the skank who thinks we are all stupid.
Don't think this is definitive, but just a snapshot of one group of young college students.

Well, the thugs who want to identify themselves with a cause can all claim "Justice for Trayvon" for a few weeks. It's far more current than "Fight the Power".
I'm not willing to call this a trend yet. Thugs generally like an excuse, but are adept at finding one that fits their needs.
As for those who claim black kids somehow are coddled, have you looked at black male incarceration rates lately?
Posted by: Appalled | April 24, 2012 at 04:34 PM
My wish for Sharpton and Jackson would be for them (i) to live a very long life, (ii) to see their race hustling mode of operation repudiated as inhibiting the cause of racial justice, and (iii) to have their various appearances at trouble spots met with indifference from all. Thus, they would have plenty of time to contemplate what failures they had been. I realize that with progspeak being the language of MSM, my wish is not likely to be fulfilled, but it's my wish nonetheless.
Posted by: Thomas Collins | April 24, 2012 at 04:36 PM
If the mob reasonably believed Owens was going to call the police, they would have acted in self-defense when they beat the crap out of him. (We learned that from bubu, KaKa, or dumbduh)

CH - Points well taken.
I see Obama, inept or not, as the standard bearer for all the toxic Democrat-created identity and group politics created over the past fifty years . We live in a world of "You wouldn't understand. It's a --fill in the blank--thing.". During *my* life, we've gone from crippling segregation and racial misunderstandings through the pain of civil rights. Now,with grievance-driven race hustling for personal and political gain, I see us approaching crippling self-segregation and racial hatred. The optimism I had as a young adult is gone and more so with this president's "acting stupidly.".

I'd guess neglect more than coddling, though there's a fine line between the two. In either case there's a lack of discipline, rules, and consequences for bad behavior.
Here was Trayvon, already having been suspended from school, evidently allowed to wander around without supervision.

Yet, when students at Carthage where asked if they would be willing to sign a petition to redistribute GPA points from the top 10% to the rest of the college, most of them said NO. One student said, "No, because I worked hard for my grades!"
Another said, "At Carthage, each student has an equal opportunity to get the GPA they desire." And another, "I don't want my GPA being taken away from me if I had an 'A'."
When the petitioners told students that oftentimes outside factors leave students at an unfair disadvantage, a student said, "No. I'm low-income and a minority, and I have a fairly decent GPA, so..."

I am not equating the cases, but I am reminded of the night of the JFK assassination. I was a freshman in college and after spending the day around students, I came back to my dorm and called my Mother. I remember saying to her, "I need an adult perspective." I think in this case, the younger generation is not so immersed in racism as perhaps we were. They are far more used to having friends and coworkers from all races and walks of life and they don't want to be pulled into a "group" based on any kind of external designations.

OT---Shades of "Wilson" the Soccerball update.
ADN previously reported that a Japanese Soccerball that was swept away by the Japanese Tsunami and floated across the ocean, had been found on Middleton Island, Alaska.
Now the paper reports that writing on the ball has identified the owner back in Japan, and that he has been contacted and the folks who found it are going to send it back to 16-year-old Misaki Murakami of Rikuzentakata, Japan.
I E-mailed a company I know to see if they might want to ship the Soccer ball back free and possibly get a bit of photos and publicity ala "Wilson" from the movie Castaway. Will let you know if anything comes of it.

Considering the poverty, incarceration and out-of-wedlock birth rate comparisons to what they were 50 years ago, it's hard to justify a claim that much progress has been made. What they needed were strictly-enforced laws against discrimination on the basis of race. The rest of what they got in the bargain clearly did more to hurt than help.

"My wish for Sharpton and Jackson" is they are both subject to very long and expensive trials for tax evasion, and finally convicted and sentenced to time beyond their respective life expectancies.

Daddy, #3 if Vlad takes a hint from JEF and paints his face on one.

Keep telling yourself that buttwipe. It will make you feel better. I thought you would be all in favor of anarchy?

Interesting pic of Kate Upton at your link, daddy.

Apparently she's not packing heat.

How confident are people that a president Romney would be able to effectively speak to the nation and cool racial tensions? Once federal handouts start to be cut there are going to be a lot of civil disturbances in the country.

Russkies using hookers to find out about US secrets? Why bother when there is the NY Times?

Don't care. Don't think it's his problem.
It's the responsibility of the hot-heads to cool themselves.

"... Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz believes the prosecution team in the George Zimmerman case should be investigated to see if they committed a criminal act." .."
Dershowitz is awesome on the Zimmerman matter. Too bad no republican legal partisans have either the skills or guts to speak out in a similar manner.

I have not got the impression Romney is going to cut the handouts.

My preference is that people who advocate for slavery have it first practiced on them.
At minimum.

LOL TC!

And note that Bent doesn't deny he's also "Ossawattamie Brown". I guess pointing out his pro-slavery advocacy has gotten to him, so he has to slander John Brown.
Why don't you just use the name "Dana Ward"? We all know who you are.

I'm stunned that Dershowitz agreed to talk to Beck. I thought all liberals thought of Beck as an extreme right wing lunatic.

Duh. Only a black man can cool racial tensions, Steve.
Btw, are you really worried about that?
(Steve is cracking me up, btw.)

" I just spoke to Larry Sinclair a few moments ago. I did searches on “Larry Sinclair” on multiple search engines and my immediate reaction was that the results looked odd. Larry stated that the search engine results had changed dramatically since yesterday. He believes that the White House is retaliating after his reporting on the Secret Service prostitution scandal and White House staff involvement.
Was I surprised about the Secret Service prostitution scandal. No! Just as in a company, the White House is supposed to be led from the top, Barack Obama. With the accepted reporting of White House Parties, Obama’s known drug use and the encounter Barack Obama most certainly had with Larry Sinclair when Obama was an IL Senator, the result was predictable. I believed that there was more to this story and Larry Sinclair is reporting it."

" Carney also said he had “no reason to believe” an internal White House investigation would be needed.
Sinclair News however reported on April 16, 2012 that White House staff were involved and it should be noted that that report was based on information received from sources with first hand knowledge of the incident. Since our first report on this incident Six (6) United States Secret Service agents have lost their jobs. While the men and women of the United States Secret Service are a rare breed indeed, there has to come a time when these men and women are no longer put in the position of lying and covering for the actions of Presidents and a Presidents staff which would be embarrassing or scandalous. Sinclair News can and will respond to Press Secretary Carney’s comment “…or speculate about every rumor that may have heard.” Mr. Carney, Sinclair News’ reports about White House staff involvement is based on FACT, not ‘rumor.’"
