Students Injured in Violent Brawl at Howard University

“The campus police chief says at least one juvenile suspect was arrested with a handgun.”

This story isn’t very clear on what started this incident.

NBC News in Washington reports:

‘I was prepared to die’: Howard U. students attacked by large group

At least one student was stabbed and several others were injured in a violent brawl outside two residence halls at Howard University early Monday morning.

“I was prepared to die,” one victim said. “When I was on the ground getting stomped out, I just stopped feeling the pain at one point.”

Victims described the attackers as “a bunch of D.C. locals.”

“It was like maybe 5, 10, 20,” one victim said. “And one lunges at me, so I square up.”

“They just started kicking us, punching us,” another victim said. “We were getting jumped.”

Those two students escaped, but a few of their friends got left behind, and one was stabbed.

“He got stabbed in the back and he got just beat on by like 30 people, him by himself, and security looked at him on the ground, watched his body go limp, and just walked away. Didn’t call anybody; didn’t do anything,” a victim said.

The campus police chief says at least one juvenile suspect was arrested with a handgun.

The chief announced a series of actions, including internal and external investigations. A university police lieutenant has been suspended during an internal investigation. A third-party security contractor has been removed from campus.

“The campus police chief says at least one juvenile suspect was arrested with a handgun.”

Those gun control laws are working so well in DC….

Good thing Howard is such a university of high esteem.

“He got stabbed in the back and he got just beat on by like 30 people, him by himself, and security looked at him on the ground, watched his body go limp, and just walked away. Didn’t call anybody; didn’t do anything,”

Enjoy your constitutional rights “right to be saaaaaaaaaaaaafe,” sucka.

    I’m gonna take that “didn’t call anyone” accusation with a grain of salt.

    I don’t blame him for walking away…especially if he was white. It’s pretty much guaranteed that all the victims and criminals were black.

    He’s outnumbered 30 to 1 and he’d likely just become another victim. Even if he succeeded in fighting off the attackers, how long would it be before he was sued and/or prosecuted for mistreating those poor innocent feral “children”?

    Not long I’d bet. No doubt he’ll be fired in ritual sacrifice to save the “security” company’s reputation, but I’d say (assuming he called it in, which I’d bet he did) he made the right call in just walking away.

So what constitutes early morning, which is code for 3AM in most places.

The big question is how many of those present will a) vote blue at the next opportunity and/or b) sign a defund the po po petition?

    Well, if they’re casting a ballot in DC itself, I don’t think they have any choice. It’s blue or the Amtrak to WV.
