Local media buries attack of white couple by 100 blacks!

NORFOLK, Virginia (PNN) - April 23, 1012 - There’s outrage in Norfolk, Virginia, today after a white couple was attacked by a group of 100 black teenagers, and the local newspaper did not report on the incident for two weeks, despite the victims being employees of the newspaper.

Even today, the Virginian-Pilot did not cover the crime as news, but rather as an opinion piece by columnist Michelle Washington.

“Wave after wave of young men surged forward to take turns punching and kicking their victims,” wrote Washington, describing the onslaught that began when Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami stopped at a red light while driving home from a show on a Saturday night. A crowd of 100 black young people was on the sidewalk.

“The responding (pig thug cop) coded the incident as a simple assault, despite their assertions that at least 30 people had participated in the attack,” Washington explains. “A reporter making routine checks of (thug cop) reports would see ‘simple assault’ and, if the names were unfamiliar, would be unlikely to write about it. In this case, editors hesitated to assign a story about their own employees. Would it seem like the (news)paper treated its employees differently from other crime victims?”

Washington says the day after the beatings, Forster searched Twitter for mention of the attack, and one post in particular chilled him.

“I feel for the white man who got beat up at the light,” wrote one person.

“I don’t,” wrote another, indicating laughter.

The newspaper is coming under heavy criticism today from residents in the greater Norfolk area, known as Hampton Roads.

“It is unbelievable that the Virginian-Pilot would BURY this story for two weeks for politically correct reasons. That is sad and disgusting,” said David Englert of Norfolk. “Someone should be fired or resign over the decision not to report this attack. It is a sad enough commentary on our society and community to read about how the responding (pig thug cops) viewed this crime, but for our only (area) newspaper to decide that they will hide from the truth rather than report (it) is PATHETIC! Any attack by a mob of people on any innocent victim should be put under a bright spotlight for all involved to be judged and exposed.

Charles Chandler of Norfolk wrote, “I am not sure what I am angrier about. This story, or the crowd of black teens who needlessly and thoughtlessly beat (up) two white victims. Or am I just angry that this still occurs in the year 2012; nearly fifty years after the marches and speeches and the declaration of civil liberties for all people? Clearly we are nowhere near the dream Dr. King envisioned. I am angry at the calloused (pig thug) cop who stated “this is what they do”. I am angry at the Pilot for hiding it under a bushel.”
