And in the latest episode of When Dazzling Urbanites Attack!: It's White Boy Season--

A 19-year-old student from Baltimore Polytechnic High School told police he was beaten by two separate groups of juveniles from a rival school in downtown Baltimore on Thursday afternoon, an attack that comes amid a pitched debate over downtown safety.

According to police, the student was walking in the 200 block of W. Fayette St., a block north of the First Mariner Arena, before 4:20 p.m. when he said he was attacked from behind by an unknown male. Nine other juveniles joined in as he tried to defend himself, and his phone was taken during the attack, he told police.

Moments later, police say, an MTA bus stopped in the block and a juvenile male wearing a Digital Harbor High School shirt "forced open the door and got off the bus," followed by 19 other juveniles wearing Digital Harbor shirts, who again assaulted the victim, police said.

Anthony Guglielmi, a city police spokesman, said the victim told the police he was attacked because of a rivalry between the two schools. Guglielmi said police were coordinating with school officials to investigate the case.

The Sun reported last week that police dispatch tapes revealed a broader disturbance downtown on St. Patrick's Daythan police had let on, and some questioned whether police had been forthcoming initially about the scope of the incident. The tapes showed police struggled to contain large groups of young people moving throughout the downtown area.

Also that night, a Virginia man was beaten and stripped of his clothing near the downtown courthouse, an attack that was caught on tape and garnered national attention.

The racial elements of that crime fed much of the outrage - the victim was white, and the attackers were all black. In Thursday's reported assault, Guglielmi said the 19-year-old victim was white and the attackers were all juvenile black males.

The reports of the St. Patrick's Day incidents prompted Baltimore County Del. Pat McDonough, a conservative radio show host, to issue a statement asking the governor to send in the Maryland State Police to control "roving mobs of black youths" at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. He said the Harbor should be declared a "no-travel zone" until safety can be ensured.

His comments were denounced by other politicians, including Gov. Martin O'Malley, and a group of activists to call for an apology. McDonough has declined, saying to do so would be "political correctness on steroids."

White people shouldn't live in Maryland.  They'd be happier someplace else.

Important safety tips, 7-Eleven: don't offer free frozen Kool-Aid in known lawless tribal regions.

'Unruly' school kids cause disturbance in downtown 7-Eleven
Deal for free Slurpees attracts 20 to 30 kids who allegedly shoplift, get in physical altercation with store owner

A crowd of "unruly" school kids rushed into a downtown 7-Eleven store about 2 p.m. Wednesday for a free "Slurpee" promotion, and didn't leave until they'd caused a commotion — allegedly shoplifting and getting into a physical altercation with the store owner.

According to police, between 20 and 30 middle school students rushed into the store near the intersection of Light and East Pratt streets all at once for the special promotion of the frozen drinks, called "SlurpFREE Day."

The company said the event was to promote its new sugar-free version of the drink, and to "launch the upcoming Slurpee season."

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the youths, many of them in school uniforms, "became unruly" after entering the store and allegedly began shoplifting other items.

There was then some sort of physical altercation between some of the youths and the store owner, Guglielmi said.

The store owner "wasn't violently hurt," he said.

Police responded to the store after receiving a call for a common assault, he said.

Guglielmi said he did not believe there were any arrests made, and that he did not know which school the youths attended.

Margaret Chabris, a 7-Eleven spokeswoman, said in a statement that the disturbance associated with the promotion was "a rare and unfortunate event," and that most people around the country had fun with the promotion.

One person was killed and five others were injured in two separate triple shootings in Baltimore on Thursday night, according to police.

Oh, hells yeah.

Important safety tips, 7-Eleven: don't offer free frozen Kool-Aid in known lawless tribal regions.

The owner of a downtown 7-Eleven that was attacked by a mob of youths drawn by a free Slurpee promotion says an envelope filled with the day's receipts — $6,600 in cash — went missing during the melee, according to Baltimore police.

Salman Iqbal told police that the money was in his front right shirt pocket while he was being attacked Wednesday afternoon after he confronted up to 40 youths wearing yellow school shirts and khaki pants. He reported that some youths had stolen candy from the store on Light Street, near the Inner Harbor.

Wednesday's disturbance began shortly before 1:30 p.m., as Iqbal was about to leave to deposit money in a bank. Police said 35 to 40 youths came in to get free Slurpees, and while they were being served, another group came in "and were observed taking candy from the shelves and placing it inside their pants pockets," according to the report.

Iqbal walked to the front door to block their exit, but police said the youths who took the candy got away. "The juveniles that the owner stopped at the door were just getting the free Slurpees that 7-Eleven was offering to the customers," the police report says. "The owner was assaulted on their effort to exit the store."

Police said the youths became angry and beat Iqbal, punching him in the mouth and repeatedly hitting him on his arms and neck. Police said the youths forced their way out of the store and scattered. It was then, Iqbal said, that he noticed the envelope with the money missing from his pocket.

A spokeswoman for 7-Eleven, Margaret Chabris, said that store owners and managers are taught to take unruly crowds "very seriously" and are warned that giveaways, such as the Slurpee promotion, can trigger such attacks.

Lulz, wuddai say? Wuddai say?

[DontSayBanana]

Lulz, wuddai say? Wuddai say?

I get that they're smaller stores, but besides that:

1) Why the hell would the guy have had that in his pocket?
2) If that was a drop envelope, why the hell would 7-Eleven let one employee make a drop over $5,000?  SOP is a dropper and a chaser, we're a bigger store with bigger-ticket items, and the managers start shitting bricks when they've got to make a $4K drop, for this exact reason.

[Jaron]

It sounds like he owns the 7-11.  If anyone is going to make a 5k drop, I'm sure he'd want it to be him.

[Jaron]

6.6k! 6.6k!

Damn, you know you've got a Dazzling Urbanite juvenile problem downtown when you're getting ganked in front of the Federal building going to work at 7:00 in the morning on a Thursday. 

Federal office worker beaten downtown

A 51-year-old federal office worker was jumped and beaten by up to five juveniles Thursday morning in downtown Baltimore's Hopkins Plaza — an apparent random attack and the latest in a series of assaults in the heart of the city.

Police are also investigating a fight that occurred at Charles and Lombard streets Wednesday morning and involved youths who may have been wearing school uniforms. Eight days ago, a group of youths stole candy and attacked the owner of a convenience store on Light Street.

The string of incidents has prompted the police commander in charge of the Central District station to propose teaming his patrol officers with school police during the morning and evening rush hours. That would put police who know many of the students on the front lines.

"We want to partner with the school system," said city police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. "We want to quickly identify those involved, and it's easier to do that with the school police."

The latest attack occurred outside the Fallon Federal Building at Hopkins Plaza, located along South Charles Street between West Baltimore and West Lombard streets. The square is three blocks northwest of the Inner Harbor, near several downtown hotels, the convention center and the 1st Mariner Arena.

Police did not have any details on the victim or precisely where he worked. The Fallon building contains offices for several agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Court. There are several other federal buildings nearby.

Guglielmi said the victim was apparently walking to work about 7 a.m. when he was attacked by at least five juveniles - four males and one female. One youth was not wearing a shirt. Other clothing descriptions were not available, but police said they did not appear to be wearing school uniforms.

Police were viewing video from surveillance cameras to try and identify the youths involved. Guglielmi said the victim was "punched in the head and kicked to the ground," but was not hurt seriously enough to require medical attention. Police said he was not robbed.

The earlier attack occurred Wednesday about 8:30 a.m. at Charles and Lombard streets, at the southeast corner of Hopkins Plaza. Police said officers responded to 911 calls reporting "a group of juveniles fighting," possibly wearing school uniforms.

Guglielmi said that officers responded but the fight was over by the time they arrived. Authorities said video surveillance cameras confirmed there was a fight and police using the footage and talking with school police to try and identify suspects and victims.

Meanwhile, prosecutors are reviewing the police case in the May 23 attack in the 7-Eleven on Light Street. Police said detectives using footage from video cameras were able to identify the youths involved. Police said they are students at Mergenthaler Vocational-Technical Senior High School in Northeast Baltimore.

A spokesman for the Baltimore State's Attorney's Office said no charges have been filed as of Thursday, and he declined to comment further on the open investigation.

Putting school police officers with city patrol officers would be an extension of weekend night police foot patrols that the mayor ordered to saturate the Inner Harbor and downtown after hundreds of teens converged on St. Patrick's Day and fought street corner to street corner. School police officers are staffing a post outside the Harborplace Gallery, a shopping mall on Pratt Street that attracts many students.

There was no immediate comment on Thursday from the city school system. A spokeswoman was checking with the school police chief.

The repeated incidents of violence have raised questions about security and safety as the summer season approaches. The city is gearing up for several large scale tourist events, including June's 2012 Star-Spangled Sailabration commemorating the bicentennial of the War of 1812, July 4 fireworks, Artscape north of downtown and the Grand Prix road race.

On Thursday, Delegate Patrick McDonough continued his pressure on the city, proposing what he calls a "Solutions Summit" and the creation of a Maryland Youth Advocacy Fund to raise money through private contributions to fund youth initiatives.

But McDonough, a Republican from Baltimore and Harford counties, has been dismissed by city leaders and others after he complained about "black youth mobs" terrorizing the city and asking the governor to send in state police to restore order. He said the Inner Harbor should be declared a "no travel zone."

The delegate is holding a steady series of news conferences to garner attention. At his latest gathering, McDonough challenged Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a Democrat, to a televised debate over the safety of the city.

"The youth crime problem in Baltimore City and the state must no longer be ignored," the delegate said in a statement issued Thursday.

Ryan O'Doherty, the spokesman for the mayor, said that McDonough "should debate himself and his Republican colleagues who supported deep cuts to the Police Department and cuts to gun prosecutions as part of the state doomsday budget."

The spokesman charged the cuts — which did not take effect after the General Assemble voted in a special session to raise taxes on the state's top wage earners and to shift some teacher pension costs to counties — would have decimated public safety in the city.

O'Doherty said police academy classes would have been cut, 92 police positions abolished and 18 prosecutors who handle gun crimes fired. "Crime is down to historic lows in Baltimore because of the smart investments that the city and the state have made in public safety," the spokesman said.

Dazzling SUVs.

A mother accidentally backed her SUV into five children in the driveway of her Lewisdale home, critically injuring them, Prince George's County police said.

The children, ranging in age from 18 months to 11 years old, were taken to Children's National Medical Center in Washington with life-threatening injuries, police said.

The accident happened about 8:45 p.m. Thursday at a home in the 2200 block Hannon Street, authorities said. The driver is the mother of at least one of the children.

Not mobtown, but I thought you might enjoy these dazzling urbanites in action.

Fangirl shits pinecones after overhearing pornstar Brian Pumper refer to her as a 'bitch'. Blows are exchanged & shit gets ugly, but the real battle is all verbal, with ego-busting insults like "u think i wud tweet about u? I FUCK MOOLIONAIRES NIGGUH".

They attacked a civilian employee of the United States?

The correct response, of course, is to machinegun random locals.

I'm disappointed in you, Ide.  If ever there was a reason to suggest carpet-bombing a city, quarantining the infection of lawlessness that is Mobtown would be it.

Flexible response.
