Wave after wave of young men surged forward to take turns punching and kicking their victim.The victim’s friend, a young woman, tried to pull him back into his car. Attackers came after her, pulling her hair, punching her head and causing a bloody scratch to the surface of her eye. She called 911. A recording told her all lines were busy. She called again. Busy. On her third try, she got through and, hysterical, could scream only their location.
Church and Brambleton. Church and Brambleton. Church and Brambleton.
It happened four blocks from where they work, here at The Virginian-Pilot.
Two weeks have passed since reporters Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami – friends to me and many others at the newspaper – were attacked on a Saturday night as they drove home from a show at the Attucks Theatre. They had stopped at a red light, in a crowd of at least 100 young people walking on the sidewalk. Rostami locked her car door. Someone threw a rock at her window. Forster got out to confront the rock-thrower, and that’s when the beating began.
The next day, Forster searched Twitter for mention of the attack.
One post chilled him.
“I feel for the white man who got beat up at the light,” wrote one person.
“I don’t,” wrote another, indicating laughter. “(do it for trayvon martin)”

Real Science 
Obama should just take what he is doing politically on this issue (dividing Americans to get re-elected) and put it into a commercial that shows alternating images of whites being pummled and blacks going into polling booths. The hook at the end of the commercial could be, “Get whitey! Vote for Obama. Do it for Trayvon Martin”.
I have driven and walked through that intersection a number of times. This story sends chills up my spine.
This is the crap fish wrap a patriotic Military town has to deal with. I haven’t bought one in years, won’t read the rag, and only use it to start the BBQ on the weekends.
So you are saying it didn’t happen?
These two things didn’t happen as well:

No I’m not saying it didn’t happen, I’m saying these (insert vitriol of choice) so called reporters felt it was not “News worthy” and nothing came out about it for 2 weeks! If it doesn’t fit the narrative, these pukes at the Pile-o-s**t don’t bother reporting it. I live in the Metro area and didn’t know about it until I read about it on Drudge!
You don’t see the liberal media reporting this: http://www.newson6.com/global/story.asp?s=18148289
