This little story is linked on Drudge -
I just wrote to the "objective" journalist (?) who spewed this crap and let him have it. You should, too, if you give a damn.

1. so according to this article...we are supposed to believe
Edited on Thu Jul-09-09 05:39 PM by Bill219
this dude and his two buddies fended off attacks from 50 black teenagers

50...

somebody better check this dude for a backwards B on his body somewhere


"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."

This sentence alone raises my red flags about this whole story


Somehow, I don't believe that we are getting the whole story

4. I don't see that they fended off anything
It says that after a few minuites the mob just ran off.

Sounds like pretty typical mob behavior.

Someone dares someone to do something, and then everybody has to throw a punch or two and then everyone runs along whooping and hollering.

Where do you see anyone fending anyone off?

3. "Would you believe 50 black teens with semi-automatic rifles?
Would you believe 10 tanned kids with twigs?

Would you believe a 6 year old girl with a dolly?"

5. Drudge Forum - Racist?
When I posted a message on Drudge racism on internet forums, they banned me immediately. I emailed them about it, but they wouldn't reply.

I think Drudge have got some dodgy people running it.
