Hate Crime: Marine Beaten and Stabbed by Group of African American Males

The following post details an event that took place on July 14th where a “White” Marine was beaten and stabbed by a group of 15 – 20 “Black” males. Local law enforcement has classified the crime as ‘Gang Violence’. One friend of the Marine, an African American male, was present during the attack yet sustained no injuries and was not even confronted by the group. This has “Hate Crime” written all over it.

On the morning of the 14th (sunday) my step son, a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corps , was out with two other friends off base in 29 Palms CA.  One was a Marine the other a Civillian.  Steven and the other Marine are both white, and they’re mutual friend is black.  The three men observed a large group (15-20) African American males walking down the street making a lot of noise, shouting, causing a scene.  Many were carryintg weapons, ie…batons, and at least one tire iron.

The mob notices the three men sitting on the porch smoking and talking and proceeded to make they’re way up the drive.  At this point Steven, the other Marine and they’re civilian friend told them to leave.  The mob attacked the other Marine first.  Steven, seeing his friend being assaulted attempted to intervene.  Stevens black friend also stepped in demanding they stop.  The mob ignored Stevens black friend and attacked Steven instead.  They struck him in the head with a tire iron, punched him repeatedly, kicked him repeatedly and then stabbed him in the right side of his chest.  Once they had him on the ground and unconscious they continued to beat him.  The other Marine was able to get away while Steven was eventually robbed while he lay helpless and unable to defend himself.

The police did arrive along with an ambulance to transport Steven to the Desert Palms hospital where he received multiple stitches, and staples to his chest and head.  It should be noted that the mob that attacked Steven was composed entirely of black men, 15 to 20 of them.  At no time did they attack Stevens black friend.  All this took place Sunday the 14th following the George Zimmerman verdict.

Here are a couple of side notes.  I have talked to the Sheriffs Dept. and have promised on multiple occasions to have a detective call me back.  It has not happened.  My wife was able to speak to a detective Silva who stated he didn’t see this as a hate crime.  Merely gang activity.  It was 20 black men trying to murder a white man who had done nothing to warrant the aggression.  I gave the authorities information on where my sons stolen credit cards were being used and the only response we have gotten was.  “well, it probably is not the person or persons who committed the assault.”  I am more then a little outraged.  How is this not a hate crime? Why are they trying to sweep this under the rug?  Have we fallen so far that our Service men and women must now fear for they’re own lives on native soil and not be given the treatment and respect deserved?  I wont even go into details on the treatment he received from the hospital or how they treated my wife when she called to ask about the condition of her son.  If i get any more info guys i will let you know.  I hope this helps.  Spread the word.  It appears that whites can not be victims of hate crimes only commit them.

The “Law Enforcement” is this instance is the San Bernardino Sheriffs Dept.

Status Update:

Here is an update on my son.  After being beaten with a tire iron by a mob of 15 plus black men, stabbed in the chest and kicked unconscious and robbed,  the police have absolutely no leads.  Even though his credit/debit card along with his wallet was stolen and is being used at local stores the “detectives” still have nothing.  Zero, zilch and are not returning my or my wife’s calls what so ever.  To say I’m disappointed is an understatement.  i suspect my family will get little or no justice since our son was not a minority.  This fits the criteria for attempted murder along with a hate crime.  This is not in any way acceptable.  The local sheriffs department for 29 palms is not even cooperating with the 29 Palms Provost Marshals Office.

a new update. the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department did not collect any evidence at the scene of the crime. they did not take any photos or take his blood soaked clothing at the hospital. the detective in charge of the case said to my son that unless they solve this case in the next few days it would probably go unsolved. due to the fact that he was going on a month long vacation. We are filing multiple complaints.
