New Orleans Middle Schoolers Are Beating The Crap Out Of Artists and Gays

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.

“That neighborhood is under a ferocious amount of gentrification pressure,” Martin said. “I mean gay is a bonus... if you don’t like gentrification, you probably don’t like old white ****s either.” Martin is a prominent actor and director in NOLA’s theater scene, and he and his boyfriend, Webb, have deep-seated histories of violence in their Marigny neighborhood, where they’ve lived since the early 2000’s. “Eric and I were held up at gunpoint by a young man on a bicycle,” Martin began. “That was on our way to a Harry Potter movie. I had my arm broken with an iron pipe in a French Quarter assault, back in 2002. We also had someone break into our house looking for drug money,” Martin said. “Mother fricker came in through the bathroom window.” “Were there any others, honey?” Martin asked Webb. “Oh, right,” Martin said, glancing over, “Eric found a dead body in the front yard once.”

They aren't targeting artists and gays, it just so happens those two groups are the easiest for a bunch of school kids to beat up.

Welcome to last weekend.
Poor kids are just frustrated. Gentrification is slowly driving them and their scum parents out of the city

Gentrification
I'm loving it.
I did happen to go through Irish Channel recently for the first time in a few years it seems. My god the change is incredible from 5 years ago. Some blocks look entirely brand spanking new.

Gentrification really is an amazing contribution that gay Americans have been responsible for in cities all over America for decades upon decades.

“The community needs to reach out to these children. We need computer labs or basketball games,” Riles said. “Have white girls helping black kids with homework, something.”
yeah, that's what those thugs need ... some computer games ... and white girls ...

Yep. I was riding my bike around the IC last month and was blown away.
It's happened in many hoods around N.O., but the channel didn't seem to be changing, but it sure is hell is now.

The fun one to watch explode will be most of the Tulane Ave. through mid city area as the hospital openings get closer.

Where's a white cop with a gun when you need one?

Yep. There and N.O. East.
It's a shame that Jeff parish couldn't have gotten some zoning or laws in place in the last 20 years to limit the amount of section 8 and other shite properties that can be concentrated in one area.

So they are beating up weaker gays and artist? Sounds exactly like targeting. They are selecting people weaker then them. Targeting.

That's culture for you.
My favorite part is how the victim seems to feel guilty for being white and fixing up property.

Shame on the assailants. Hopefully they're put down or something.
Aside from that, the victim's racism bothers me. He can't blame the assailants or their parent for the attack, but rather white people and gentrification because he doesn't see blacks as equals who are equally capable of not beating people up. There has to be some other cause for the attack because we can't go around holding these people accountable for their actions as if they're actually people, you know.
One of the deep misfortunes of leftism is that their racism and bigotry is very deep and indoctrinated, and this man's quotes are a prime example.

let me see if I follow you.... This victim is a racist because he's unwilling to be a racist which makes him a racist.
You are one fricked up individual to go to that extent to justify your own racism.
