quote:

It was just after dark when Michael Martin, 56, was walking back to his home in New Orleans’ Marigny neighborhood, after helping a friend move. At the time, Martin was caring for his dementia-ridden mother, and was anxious to get home, as his long-time partner, Eric Webb, was the only person there with her.

“I really was walking through a neighborhood that I don’t think the people who live there walk through at night,” Martin said.

As he approached an interstate overpass, the division between St. Roch and his Marigny neighborhood, Martin heard laughter from a group of children, no older than 13 he believed. It was summer after all, and while dark, he didn’t think much of the roving group of middle schoolers, until he was struck from behind.

He was then thrown to the ground as the children kicked and slammed fists into Martin’s head and chest. Eventually, he was straddled by one of the kids and choked out until he fell unconscious.

While Martin is wary of calling the assault a hate crime, he does feel the rapid gentrification happening, in both the St. Roch and Marigny neighborhoods, could have something to do with his beating.

i would say how do you get beat up by 12 year olds, but they are probably like 17 if they are new orleans middle schoolers

If you follow recruiting in sports, this shouldn't be a surprise.

Wonder what the legality of beating up 12-13 year olds would be?

I know it would be self defense, but it would be hard to explain what had happened if the cops showed up and five 13 year olds were laying on the ground crying.

A lion getting jumped by a pack of hyenas would probably get the shite kicked out of it, too.

If 6 13 year old thugs throw shite at you from behind and attack en masse, I don't know that you'd be able to fend them all off.

You sure can't shoot those fricking thugs, because then you'd be trampling on their "civil" rights.

They're not being targeted because they are artists or gays..it's a whole lot simpler than that

Too bad the article doesn't give a description of the kids.

If it did, we'd all know what to look for, such that these situations could be avoided.

Only option. See my post above. Rip his ear off, pop an eye out, anything. He'll have to go to the hospital.
