ABOUT 11 P.M. on Sept. 9, dozens of youths with bats and pipes descended on a tidy residential area of Port Richmond looking for white teens who allegedly had attacked an African-American kid at Stokely Playground a couple of hours earlier.
Two fearful white teens [yeah, try little kids] spotted Mark LaVelle on Indiana Avenue near Belgrade Street and asked for help. Suddenly, the mob appeared. LaVelle, who said that he didn't know the two kids, who looked to be 13 or 14, ran with them into his nearby house.
I don't know what to say about this. The same type of thing happened to me at age 19, and it scarred me for life even though I WON the engagement and left the other asshole bleeding on the floor. First thing I did was go take up martial arts and become a fearsome looking son of a bitch. Works great at scaring punks, sucks in a job interview, the nightmares don't go away.They were standing on his steps. One shouted, " 'Something's going to happen now!' " LaVelle recalled in an interview Friday at his house. LaVelle got nervous and went back inside, locking his door with a deadbolt.
But the attackers pounded on his front windows and kicked his wooden door so hard, it flew open and some of them entered his house.
"The first guy hits me with a pipe. The second guy knocks me in the face. All I'm hearing is my wife and kids screaming," said LaVelle, who feared that the next time they saw him, he would be in a casket.
He said that he was able to push the attackers out the door, but then a third man - who had a gun - tried to extend his arm. LaVelle grabbed onto the gunman's lower arm and shoulder so he couldn't raise the weapon. Then, police sirens screamed in the neighborhood, and the mob turned and ran.
This is a failure of not just social policy, this is a failure of basic civilization. Roving bands of armed teenaged punks confident enough to attack a grown man in his own home, over nothing? That's serious shit my friends.
When we hear about mobs of Muslims hauling a Hindu family out of their house in New Delhi and beating them to death in the street, we say "tsk" and wonder how a nation could allow such things.
WELL NOW WE KNOW, DON'T WE.

Caught this on Drudge (I think) this morning.
Two interesting footnotes to the story (from the article you linked to).
First, the dates - this happened two and a half weeks ago, and it's just being reported now? I suppose better late than never, but if the racial roles had been reversed, is there any doubt that it would have been headline news for weeks?
Second, it seems this kind of behavior runs in the family - notice the mother of one of these thugs threatened to kill Lavelle before the trial.
Yeah, the MSM has a vested interest in not reporting this kinda thing. Breaks their boilerplate, so to speak.
Which brings me to wonder how many of these incidents are happening un-reported. IMHO probably many, maybe 3 or 4/1.
The running in the fambly thing, these are -scumbags- we're talking about here, not "missunnerstood youts". People don't get to be hardcore scumbags overnight, know what I mean?
Previously fear of retribution kept these clowns on the street corners and in the parks. That fear seems to have ebbed substantially, thanks to the relentless "progress" of Leftist policies.
Philly being part of the USA, fear of police will soon be replaced by fear of the home owner's shotgun. Won't take but one or two multiple punkicides for it to happen.
"Multiple punkicides"
I love it.
Fortunately, as you said, this isn't England - where when your life is threatened, you get to choose whether you want a prison cell or a grave.
Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
Frankly I doubt Philly is that far behind England. There's a -reason- the punks are unafraid.
