Just some hi jinx by Philly yuuts. It seems they are honoring their beloved savior Trayvon with their hoodie attire. Maybe SEPTA can work some of this footage into their next feel good commercial campaign.
SEPTA POLICE are investigating a vicious attack on two Benjamin Franklin High School students caught on video Tuesday on a subway platform in the Spring Garden station, officials said yesterday.
Nobody involved in the beating – including the victims – reported the brutal crime to SEPTA police, Philadelphia police or school district officials, SEPTA Police Chief Thomas Nestel III said.
In the video, time-stamped just after 3:15 p.m., about a dozen teens – all believed to be students, according to officials – appear to be participating in the attack or egging it on. At one point, one of the assailants, wearing a light gray sweatshirt with the hood covering his head, fell onto the tracks. He quickly pulled himself back onto the platform and joined the fray once again. A girl is seen trying to videotape the pummeling of a male victim, and one assailant also stomped on the victim’s head.
The attack lasted 1 minute, 5 seconds, SEPTA officials said.
“It’s an outrageous event. This is so dangerous, it’s not even funny,” Nestel told reporters at a news conference. “We have operating trains down there. There are passengers waiting for the train . . . It’s horrendous.”
School district spokesman Fernando Gallard said the students involved may face suspension, expulsion or alternative school as discipline.
“What we have seen is a brutal violent attack that could that could have ended with a loss of life,” Gallard said.
SEPTA detectives have had preliminary discussions with the two boys who were victims in the attack, Nestel said. They expect to meet with each student again, this time with a parent present, he added.
SEPTA police officers were at the station at the time of the fight, Nestel said. They responded and are seen in the video rushing to the platform just seconds after the brawl ended and the students were gone. The teens, including the victims, fled onto a train that arrived shortly before the cops.
Initial reports say that the fight may have started because of a female student, he said, but the girl’s involvement was unclear yesterday.
The victims were followed down to the platform from the street, “and someone signals who they are,” according to a preliminary investigation, he added.
The school district is working to help identify the perpetrators, along with SEPTA.
“We’ve identified some potential aggressors. There is a criminal investigation with the school district,” Nestel said. “The message that we’re trying to get out is if you act up on SEPTA, we’re going to have a picture of your face and we’re sharing it with the school district. Between the two of us, we’re going to address it so that no one gets hurt.”
As a result of the attack, SEPTA has stationed more police officers at the Spring Garden station. They are also adding more officers to nine other stations identified as “hot spots” due to high student usage, Nestel said. The others are: 15th Street, Olney Transportation Center, Frankford Transportation Center, City Hall, Girard (Broad Street Line), Erie, Berks, Allegheny and 8th Street.
Why do I get the feeling that the elites (whoever they are) are quite happy to see all this coming together so the average white person is fighting the average black person, and no one has time or focus to look at things like the Trans Pacific Partnership, devaluation of our money, criminalization of cash, and general dissolution of any pretense of liberty and due process?
There is without a doubt a crime problem, which is almost entirely black and hispanic. That is a real problem. But it is also an excellent diversion and smokescreen for more of the usual systemic corruption in the background.
Things are being set up for a major domestic conflict. But I fear that conflict will only lead to a fake reset – a pretense of radical and great change, but no real change underneath the veneer, in either the identity of the elites running the show, or the methods by which they oppress the majority.
The police can’t and are not obligated to protect us. If we don’t do it it won’t be done. The police are there to protect PTB everything else is incidental.
The story once again reminds me of the saying,”When seconds count the police are only a minute away”
Those wacky ‘yoofs’…
Surprised there wasn’t gunfire or anyone getting all stabby. Or anyone shoved into the path of a moving train…
Feral neegrows!
See, perfect for the paid-for-life-hero-unionist-cops.
The constant showing that only black people can be killed by cops keeps them from calling the cops.
Perfect.
Of course, now our LEOs will be able to focus their attention on those of us that still have money and assets because the blacks won’t want them anymore (flavor of ’60s urban race wars, no?)
I’m sure this won’t work out well for us either way. Killed by youts, or cops, either way you end up dead.
