According to a Seattle Police Department report, another woman was robbed and assaulted in the University District last night by a group of teenage girls.
Around 11pm last night, a woman called Seatle Police to report that she’d been robbed near NE 41st St. and Eastlake Avenue.
The woman told officers that two or three young women ran up behind her, pushed her to the ground and took her backpack, which contained a laptop. According to a police report, the woman “did not get a good look at her attackers but noted that they were young.”
Officers searched the area and stopped a group of three teenage girls, who apparently tried to give bogus home addresses to police. According to the report, the girls “even stated that they did not know where they lived at one point.”
Police brought the victim of the robbery to the scene, but she was unsure if the three girls were the same ones that attacked her. Officers attempted to contact the girls’ parents, but were unable to, so they transported the girls to the Spruce Street youth center, a social service agency that collaborates with law enforcement.
Last week, Seattle Police received several reports of robberies and assaults in the University District and Lake City, allegedly perpetrated by a group of three teenage girls.
Police could not confirm whether this most recent robbery was related to the the other incidents.

Just a word of warning – it’s not just the girls – there have been some young 20-something men who hang out near there and try to trick you into giving them bus fare are let them use their cell phone and then jack your wallet or purse.
If you feel unsafe, Metro Cinemas runs late and so does Kinko’s.
do these dumb birds have any idea how many easy marks they could have if only they went after men? and advertised i mean it isnt my main kink but every once in a while even i would stroll through the u district with cash hanging out of my pockets just you know so i could be knocked down and robbed by 3 teenage girls
guys? am i right? im so right and wed never call the cops
eastlake and 41st – is that in Seattle or ???
Really Will exactly where at 41st and Eastlake do these guys hang out?
Will, hint hint, there is no such intersection but I’m sure you’ve been there.
Probably there now.
I’m just waiting until they rob some guy…can you imagine…he’ll never live it down.
C’mon, tell us again…how you got robbed…by girls!
Did the police not get a close enough look at the girls to provide any description either?
Apparently the PI has a better sense of the city than the Stranger:

“near Northeast 41st Street and 11th Avenue Northeast.”
@6: now that they’re captured no one needs to know whether they’re black.
well, i think he sort of got it right on the eastlake….technically they are sorta the same street….if you drive down eastlake it will turn into 11th without trying
@8: BINGO!
It’s pretty clear in the police report, but god forbid The fucking Stranger be bothered with that…

The map I am looking at shows that NE 41st Crosses both 11th Ave NE and Eastlake Ave NE so it actually could have been either.
@3, @4: 41st & Eastlake
Hey, remember that guy who got in trouble for saying that Americans were cowards when it came to having frank discussions about race?
When I was in grade school, there was a black girl gangs who liked to beat white boys like me.
When I was in living in SF, black girl gangs were beating people in Potrero hill. They were using canes. That shit hurts.
I have never, in all my life, heard of a white girl gang putting the beat-down on citizens walking on the street. The most criminal thing I’ve ever seen a white girl gang do was to ditch class, loiter in public, and smoke.
This is a cultural difference that does not track with income level or education.
I’m trying to remember how “Reform School Girls” started but all I can genuinely remember is the shower scenes and the part where Edna stomped on a kitten.
God, I loved that movie.
@13,
A 400+ year history of racism (notwithstanding these admittedly awful and completely unacceptable reactions to it) couldn’t have anything to do with it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Byrd_….
Naw, not at all.
@ 13
you didn’t know me back in the day then.
@15: So is the theory here that these black girls are wreaking vengeance for the murder of Byrd 10 years ago at the hands of a gang of redneck Texas white boys by beating on white girls in Seattle?
@15 No excuse. No excuse at all. Wrong doesn’t make right. By your logic, I’d be able to cut off your penis with a rusty can opener and we’d be square for all of man’s violence toward women. Easy, breezy, beautiful.
Did you hear about the teenage kid who stabbed that old lady and took photos of the dead body with his cellphone?
This is way worse than that.
She noticed they were young, but did she also notice that they ARE BLACK????
Waaaaah! Blacks never commit violent crimes, and when they do, it is not their fault, because they have been irreparibly transformed into violent retarded animals by 500 years of whitey oppresshum! Waaaaaah!
hate and bigot meter, is rising yet again in the slog comments.
It really doesn’t matter WHY blacks are so violent and retarded. The fact remains that tons of blacks are violent and retarded. I just don’t like violent retarded people no matter what their reason or excuse is for being violent and retarded.
Black people fail because, unlike white people, they don’t know how to kill anybody. They should take lessons from Kyle Huff, that kid in Bremerton, that guy in Kent, the dude who executed his 5 kids and so on and so forth.
Sorry, black folks– you just look like that angry dude at a frat party that gets kicked out for fighting and then gets made fun of because people thought you were a douche.
…and the idiot meter as well, it seems.
@24 – you are right. Whites are better at killing, just like they are better at pretty much everything else. Blacks go for flashy “bling bling” style violence, like holding their pistols sideways “gangsta style”, which is the stupidest way to shoot a pistol. No wonder those retards have such a miserable shot-to-hit ratio. Someone should teach the negroes to shoot properly so they kill each other off faster.
@15
So what accounts for the way they treat each other in Africa? 10,000 years of racism toward each other?
sumhow dis beez YT’s fault
@26: Say the word. Say it.
You know you want to. Some of us are doubting your dedication.
Oh yeah, now I remember how “Reform School Girls” started…
This sounds close enough to the movie.
You think these girls, once they go to juvie, will have to kick somebody’s ass immediately or risk being made a bitch?
Hey, wait… am I in the wrong room here?
Bunch of people that look like Klansmen.
And a few douchey hipsters teaching history.
Man… and I wanted to talk about incarcerated women OTHER than Foxy Knoxy…
@29 – posts with the N-word get deleted off Slog.
Because of what happened to James Byrd these poor girls are so stupid they can’t even remember where they live! So they needed a cell phone to call their mom to come get them! Obviously!
If black violence is excused/mitigated by slavery/segregation, then the killers of Byrd should be excused because they were raped by blacks in prison before they killed Byrd.
@31: lets test your theory, with these Dylan lyrics:
“All of rubins cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
The judge made rubins witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
And though they could not produce the gun,
The d.a. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed.”
you may be right, or it may be all about context.
“James Byrd”
Right, do you think this thugesses even know who Byrd was, let alone spell his name?
Time to raise the draw bridges on the canals and let the northside deal with our typical crime problems of cats in trees, double parking and kids driving around in their parents cars yelling ‘yuppie’ at lawyers going for sushi.
See what legalizing gay marriage gets you? Everybody knows that knocking someone down and stealing their backpack is a way of imposing their goal of gay marriage on you. Who cares if these girls are black? They’re obviously GAY! And they want to marry YOU! RUN!
Movies and TV != real life. Congratulations on demonstrating just how fucking stupid you are, you fucking pinhead. Here’s some advice: try to actually leave your house once in a while. Although don’t forget your Pampers. Wouldn’t want you to soil your clothing the first time a black guy looks in your general direction.
If white people are so superior, why are you such a scared, little pussy?
REMEMBER WHEN THE THREE IMAGINARY GIRLS WOULD JUST WROTE ABOUT MUSIC YALL
Shhh….no one tell the Stormfront trolls that we all can trace our ancestry back to Ethiopia – it might kill them.
Hmmm, on second thought…
Are you too pc to call these people a gang, if I know correctly these bitches have dudes waiting around the corner. Welcome to the UW, can I have that?
@38
Actually movies and TV and Rap lyrics do = real life,
for the uneducated thugs we are talking about.
They emulate what their ‘culture’ crams into them. Even on lily liberal slog one can read of some banger standing in the middle of the street with his pistol held sideways firing.
Wow… and I thought it was ugly over in the marriage equity Slog comments.
It’s good to know that the racists are less eloquent than the homophobes. It makes it easier to identify and marginalize them.
@20 — From the police report:
As someone who works in the area, I appreciate having a description of the three young women. Some of you might call that racist: I call it being aware. If a man was going around raping children in your neighborhood, you’d demand a description of the suspect, wouldn’t you?
UW Police do the community a disservice by expunging specifics that would help potential victims more readily identify the threats toward which they are advised to be on alert.
Slog PC Police do young black men and women a disservice by denying, excusing, enabling and encouraging them to deal themselves and their friends into the criminal justice system.
@45: There are two groups here that are pissed off that the race — sorry “description” of the attackers was not in the post: Group 1 wants to know the description of the attackers so that they can be aware of people matching the description — not racist.
Group 2 wants to know their description so that if it supports theories so they can crow about it. Those people are racist.
Which group are you really in?
Cracker Jack @ 47 — Are you in the group that pretends young black men (and women) are NOT disproportionately involved in violent crime? The same group that pretends this pretending will somehow work to the benefit of my young black friends and family? The group that casually labels people “racist” in a sad effort to define an out-group to feel superior to?
That dually-bigoted group of yours … that’s a group I’m happily not in.
RonK: I don’t pretend anything. I’m appalled by the blatant and overt racism being spewed in this thread. I actually DO think that Jonah should have given the full description of the attackers as given by the victim for the first reason I gave. However, I denounce those who will then use that description as fodder for the “black folk are inherently criminal” agrument.
You have assigned me to a group based on assumptions that YOU have made about me and my motives. You are not dealing with me but with your self created puppet of me. Have fun with him.
Yo Cracker, black people aren’t inherently criminal, just extremely disproportionately so. Go ahead and deny it.
