Shortly after Trayvon Martin was killed, President Obama said that if he had a son he would have been Trayvon Martin. Now that a black mob has attacked and critically injured a white man, I wonder if the members of that mob would also have been Obama’s sons and daughters.
More important though, let’s not forget Al Sharpton’s contribution to this outpouring of hatred.
‘JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON’: WHITE MAN BEATEN BY BLACK MOB IN CRITICAL CONDITION

Late Saturday night, Matthew Owens, of Mobile, AL, was beaten so badly by a mob that he was left in critical condition with severe head wounds.
According to WKRG, police said Owens "fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night."
The kids left, and a larger group returned, reportedly armed with a variety of weapons, including bricks, chains, brass knuckles and paint cans.
WKRG added: Owens' sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. "It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed." Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using "brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on."
WPMI said another witness who wished to remain anonymous, thought that when he heard Owens at the door, it was a joke.
"Then I saw about 10 to 15 people from little kids and women with dresses to adult men, just flooding onto the property, surrounding the car, hollering and screaming," he said.
"And then I heard Matthew saying, ' I'm sorry, man, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.' And then, the next thing, before I could get to the door, because we have it all deadbolted and everything, and before I could get it open, I heard all the beating and banging."
"He was laying on the ground full of blood. I mean, it was horrible. His head, everything. Blood was pouring from his head, both sides. And his whole body was drenched in blood."
After the beating, Parker said she overheard one of the attackers say: “Now that's justice for Trayvon.”
According to WPMI, there were already tensions on the street, due largely to local kids who, according to Owen's friends and family, block the street playing basketball. Relatives told WPMI it's led to some confrontations.
Local police would only say "multiple people" were involved in the assault, and so far, they have not found any suspects.

They must not be looking very hard for suspects. It is extremely likely that those assholes posted footage on the net, with attribution.
It's equally likely, since this was a neighborhood basketball game, that most of the perps live within a block or two of the assault.
