Three Nova High School students were taking a walk through the adjacent Miller Playfield in Capitol Hill just after school ended at 4:00 p.m. last Wednesday, when a passing group of four teenage males allegedly attacked one of them, according to a Seattle police report.
One of the four guys reportedly asked the students, “Hey, do you go to this school?” the police report continues. After students said yes and kept walking, the men began to attack one of them who was lagging behind. “One of the suspects appeared to be holding some type of dark-colored thin ‘metal wire,’ which he may have used to strike [the victim] on the forehead, resulting in a bleeding horizontal laceration about 1″ long,” writes Officer Stolitz.
The two other students started running away, until one of them “ran back to the suspects and kicked one of them in the head, whereupon the suspect reportedly yelled, ‘You’re dead!’” according to police records. But when an assailant turned to confront the student, the student screamed, prompting the teenage males to flee.
Officer Stolitz described the victim’s injuries: “bleeding laceration above his left eye, several bleeding abrasions on his left elbow and visible scratches with redness on the left side of his neck.” As for the motive, the victim told police that one of the suspects tried to grab his wallet, but never asked for it, and that the man asked where they went to school. Seattle Public Schools spokeswoman Teresa Wippel confirms the incident and says the “student is okay.”
Clearly this is somehow the fault of Occupy Seattle
Poor kid.
I like the attitude of that second one, though, the one that ran back. Running back in when you know it’s dangerous and you’re already on your way out takes balls, and a life time of video games has taught me that kicking bad guys in the head is always the right thing to do.
Blacks of course
Props to the bad-ass who ran back and kicked the dude in the head, then screamed them all away.
I was there when this happened and ran over when I heard screaming. I think the assault had an element of sport too it; an opportunity to beat up some white alternative school kids, who were no match for the big kids I watched running away. The (adorable) boy who was beaten seemed awfully shook up and had a big split on his brow. My little kids saw most of the aftermath and are now afraid of miller field, previously their favorite place on earth. The racial element here is undeniable and very troubling. I always thought of miller as a place for everyone.
