This morning, the website for the local newspaper had an article entitled "teen mobs harass motorists". If you click on the link, you will see that the story has since been taken down. The story told of two instances near the area where the words "black youth" and "mob action" made national headlines, via the Drudge Report this past summer. The article also made reference to the "kill the white people" phrase.
I wanted to post about the second story about mob action earlier, but I didn't have time, so I copied it, so I could post about it later. Now is later - here's the second story from the newspaper:
"A Meals on Wheels delivery driver was making his way to a home in the 800 block of West Nowland Avenue about 12:45 p.m. Wednesday when he encountered a group of 15 teens - 13 males and two females - walking down the middle of the road.
The group would not yield to the motorist, who followed him until reaching the house where he had to make the meal delivery. As he exited to take the food to the door, he was verbally attacked, according to a report on the incident.One teen called him "honky," while another threatened to "kick his white (expletive)."As the volunteer driver returned to his car to leave, the teens surrounded his car and pounded on it. The vehicle was not damaged, but police noted disturbances to dust on the vehicle, backing up the driver's story.The group Wednesday likely had just left school after District 150 released students early for the day."
What do you think - is the newspapers linkage to 150 letting out early and kids in the streets harassing motorist a stretch?

The link to early dismissal is a stretch. Doesn't matter what time the dismissal is, a large group of harassing youth is a large group of harassing youth. Getting out of school makes for easy formation of a group.
I thought there was something in the PJStar article - maybe from a police spokesperson - saying that this wasn't an organized group - just kids after school and the problem on Thrush and the other problem surrounding young woman's car both probably kids leaving a party. Made it sound that since they weren't organized it was less of a problem.
That police spokesman did say something along those lines kohlrabi. And the other incident was allegedly based around kids probably leaving a party.
So if the police see a large group of kids walking down the street (black or white) would they have probable cause to stop them?
I guess some people owe the blogger who reported the East Bluff incident an apology. (Paul w?)
No it's not. It's the result of kids who have no respect for themselves or others. This is a lack of parenting and culture of entitlement.
The link to the entire article can still be found here:

The previous incident was on W. Thrush - not in the East Bluff
I think maybe the information about school being let out early that day is because some people's first question may be, "Why weren't these kids in school at 12:45 pm?" If there had been a full day of school, these kids would have just been doing this at 4 instead of 12:45. The early release just allowed them to harass the Meals on Wheels guy rather than some other poor sap driving down Nowland.
Overall, I condemn these actions of these youth.
Ironically, the PJS allowed comments on this article earlier today...last time I checked it was about 90. But just checked again, and comments are gone. Unless someone took pictures or video, we still don't know for sure if the youth were all black or not, except the Delivery Driver case. But White kids are getting disrespectful too.
Getting pretty bad when a volunteer Meal Delivery person gets threatened.
Well gee gosh Dennis, Thank you for condemning the action of these kids. I waited with baited breath for that.
Maybe the kids were really hungry since lunch wasn't served that day. ???
About a month ago two seperate semi trucks were stopped in the middle of the road on the south end. Drivers claim blacks males surrounded their trucks yelling racial slurs about whites. Calls were made to the police.
We need to stop this insanity.
