"17 Kids Assault 45-Year-Old Man At Philadelphia Public Pool, Police Say"
"PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia police say a 45-year-old man was assaulted by 17 juveniles between the ages of 12 and 18 at a public pool on Monday night. The assault happened at Vogt Playground in the city’s Mayfair section."
The story doesnt give much in the way of details as the who was attacked or why.
The story does say the man was the father of one of the lifeguards. Might be a connection there.
"Residents fear this problem will continue to get worse unless parents step in.
Kids aren’t being disciplined the way they should be, that’s what it is. The parents just don’t care anymore,” Gift said."
I'll be keeping an eye on this story for updates..

Anybody from Philadelphia know more about this story?edit on Wed Jul 17 2019 by DontTreadOnMe because: EXTAGS ADDED IMPORTANT: Using Content From Other Websites on ATS

At 47 I’m pretty sure I could take 17 teenage dirtbags but that’s beside the point.
It’s the mob mentality that we see everyday in the news. Inner city kids with bad parenting can be pretty terrifying. We live in a small country town and this type of thing would NEVER happen here.
Kids look for a role model and a place to fit in, and if a parent won’t do that, then the most brutal power hungry will rise to the top and lay ruin to the land.

Punk kids throwing stuff at the father of the lifeguard who probably told them not to eat in the pool or not to run...
Or, maybe he was hitting on one or a few of the kids? What was the lifeguard's father doing there anyway?
We just don't know. We need more info.

As long as the issue is tip toed around nothing will change.
Why do black kids all of a sudden feel so emboldened to do this stuff?
Have mobs of Africans Americans always been doing this and the racist media are only now reporting on it, albeit never mentioning the one other similarity to these cases besides the mob and youth aspects, namely that it’s always black kids?
If you can’t tackle a problem like this head on and honestly it’s not gonna go away.
Disrespectful idiotic rich folk don't tend to go full savage fight mode and punch lifeguards. They just hire lawyers to sue them .
But i digress, i don't want to sound like im baiting stereotypes. This is mostly an issue of terrible parenting.
