A gang of racist black teens attacked a patriotic white family, apparently, just because they were white. But police aren't sure if it's a hate crime.
Akron police say they aren't ready to call it a hate crime or a gang initiation.Of course, you can imagine what would take place if the colors of the participants were reversed. First of all, you wouldn't just be hearing about this story 5 days after it happened, and second...cue Al Sharpton in 3...2...1...
But to Marty Marshall, his wife and two kids, it seems pretty clear.
It came after a family night of celebrating America and freedom with a fireworks show at Firestone Stadium. Marshall, his family and two friends were gathered outside a friend's home in South Akron.
Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family.
The Marshalls, who are white, say the crowd of teens who attacked them and two friends June 27 on Girard Street numbered close to 50. The teens were all black.
''This was almost like being a terrorist act,'' Marshall said. ''And we allow this to go on in our neighborhoods?''
They said it started when one teen, without any words or warning, blindsided and assaulted Marshall's friend as he stood outside with the others.
When Marshall, 39, jumped in, he found himself being attacked by the growing group of teens.
His daughter, Rachel, 15, who weighs about 90 pounds, tried to come to his rescue. The teens pushed her to the ground.
His wife, Yvonne, pushed their son, Donald, 14, into bushes to keep him protected.

I can only imagine they voted for Obama and they were rope-a-hoped.
"rope-a-hoped". I'm not being arrogant, but that might be the single greatest phrase coined during the Obama administration. Ima have to create a photo for that.
I agree. I'm working on a picture of the dwarf "Dopey" with Obama's face. It will be called "Hopey". It's no Rope-a-Hope but it's something.
what the hell is wrong with this country? this double standard is becoming too much, if a white guy threw a rock at another white guy and hit a black guy by accident, it would be a hate crime.
50 black kids beat up a white family for "being white" not a hate crime.
these liberals make me sick
Let's put the cart back in its rightful place, behind the horse.
This homeschool family claims that 30-50 black kids attacked them, on a neighborhood street, just after the city fireworks display was over, chanting "this is our world." The video of the father shows no signs of struggle. The daughter, a frail little thing, has no visible wounds despite her story that she was bleeding and pulled one of the attackers off her father. The mother has no visible wounds. They don't sound in shock or scared, despite talking about how scared they are. Not a single witness can confirm that even one of these 50 kids was there. There are no suspects.
The police aren't calling it a hate crime because they have enough sense to realize the story probably isn't true. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see it's not true but that hasn't prevented the right wing and racist blogisphere to embrace it and spread it within hours of it being reported. How many of you will write about it when it's determined the entire story is a work of fiction?
If you believe this story then I have a nice Nigerian man who would like to contact you about an investment opportunity.
Oh you trying to say this is a TAWANNY Brawley thing?
I have been the victim and have seen many other white victims of young black youth traveling in packs. It happens everyday.
A liberal is just a conservative who hasn't been mugged yet.
I, for one, am witholding judgment. But not about "rope-a-hoped." Genius, that is.
