MIKE BROWN REVENGE ATTACK: US Marine Severely Injured After Racially Motivated Beating

On August 9, 2014, 18 year-old Mike Brown was shot dead by an injured police officer in Ferguson, Missouri after robbing a local convenience store.

On Sunday, Ralph Weens IV, was beaten in West Point, Mississippi.  Weens and his friend David Knighten were attacked outside a local restaurant by a black lynch mob.

Weens was with David Knighten, an Afghanistan veteran, who was also severely injured in the attack. The group of around 20 black men were upset about Michael Brown’s shooting death in Ferguson, Missouri. Don’t expect this story to make many national headlines.
The AP reported:

West Point police said a man received life-threatening injuries in what they are investigating as an aggravated assault at a restaurant…

…David Knighten of West Point told AP earlier by phone that he and Weems had gone to a Waffle House early Saturday. He said a man waved him over outside the restaurant and told him politely that people were upset by the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and it wasn’t a safe place for whites. When he went in, he said, Weems was inside and was arguing with other men.

They left after an argument that brought police, Knighten said. He said he showed those officers his .45-caliber handgun and his concealed carry permit.

That was about 1 a.m., according to police, who did not give either man’s name in a press release posted by WCBI-TV (http://bit.ly/YRDPQj ).

On the way to Weems’ house, Knighten said, they went into a Huddle House restaurant with a nearly vacant parking lot.

However, he said, they apparently had been followed by more than 20 people.

Knighten, who said he had served with the Air Force in Afghanistan, said he came out of the restroom to find Weems surrounded. “I was trying to defuse the situation,” he said.

After some shoving, he said, the security guard told everyone to leave.

Knighten said some people blocked him from leaving with Weems. When he got out, he said, Weems was down and people were kicking him. Knighten said others attacked him, adding “I do remember racial slurs being yelled from the crowd.”

Knighten says he has broken bones in his face, a cut over his left eye and a blood clot in his right eye.

Police did not arrive until after the crowd had left, he said.

Police said they were called to the Huddle House about 2 a.m.

Weens is still in a coma after the brutal beating.
