The suspects then beat the victim until she was unconscious. The video shows at least one suspect stomping on her.
The group then walks away. One of the suspects picks up a bike off the ground while leaving. Surveillance images show several suspects using bikes. "Kids don't have nothing to do and their parents need to get more involved with what they do when they leave the house every day," said Jamal Butler, who was walking in the area of the beating.
Police released still pictures of each of the eight suspects in hopes of identifying those responsible. All of the attackers appeared to be young. Data from the 6abc Neighborhood Safety Tracker shows assaults have been on the rise in the area of the attack. In the last three years, there has been an average of 180 assaults per year. But in the last 12 months, there have been more than 200.There was no word on any possible motive for this assault.Police are also still searching for the suspects of aThe female victim was violently shoved to the ground and for nearly a minute she was punched and kicked repeatedly and robbed.
This is crazy this the smoke shop I’m always in why the hell would they do something like this these kids need to be a accountable for and so do the parents I know the store owner and I’m heartbroken 💔 that this happened where was the police when this happened
Black black black
Arrest the parents and horrible kids
They need their behinds whipped, but oh, parents can whip their children. It's called child abuse..
Get out of Philly while you can. White, black, brown. None of you are safe in this blue dominated city where violence and drugs run rampant and there are very few people that care any more.
These teenage are going to be careful some one in the store especially the owner might be packing.
Remember they were trying to ban bulletproof glass? Yeaaaa…. It will soon get to the point where businesses will move out of the city. The DA and mayor better get their act together or even more people will suffer.
Progressivism at its finest. Am I right PhillyMayor ?
💩💩💩💩💩
If there are no consequences for their actions, they will continue to behave the way they do.
Put them on camera and start going after the parents.
“Group of juveniles” “Youths” “Joggers” “Skittle eaters”
Where are the community leaders? Religious leaders? Actors? Sports figures? News people? Unions? Politicians, schools? Why are they not calling out the community & vigorously speaking out against the murders, carjackings, violent attacks, retail theft Crickets!!! No says a word
Teens…..
No worries our fearless leader GovernorShapiro is on it.
I will not be held hostage by these young criminals terrorizing our city. Round them up, throw them in jail for city community service to clean, contribute to our city rather than destroy it!
When is enough enough! We need police, we need laws, we need order. Just stop this insanity!
Stores closing in Portland. Stores closing in DC. When will real leaders step forward?
Consequences, these animals never suffer consequences. Lock them up, build more prisons if you have to. It’s time to stop them NOW.
🤬
This is why the chick-fil-a had to ban unattended minors. These thugs need to face consequences of their violence and be dealt with.
The 13%er's strike again.
Lock up their behind in a dark prison room, take away there human right just like they have no compassion for any victims
*A group of criminals... Fixed.
Description of the blacks..
It’s getting ridiculous, where’s the police. Let me guess what race they were.
Summer camp in Wisconsin awaits them.
Keep voting for democrats and this will continue to happen.
“Teens”
Imagine that. Probably the white supremacy group again.
“Teens”
Black teens. If they were white teams, it would be noted.
NBCNews MSNBC ABC CBSNews CNN NewsHour nytimes PhillyInquirer cpsj CBSPhiladelphia NBCPhiladelphia NPR PhillyMayor DA_LarryKrasner SenatorHughes JohnFetterman HelenGymAtLarge phillymag ShibaRussell PPDCommish Philadelphia is a Democrat run cesspool…
HelenGymPHL thinks they need “arts therapy”, whatever that is. If she becomes mayor (god forbid) Philly businesses will have things like this happen daily.
But if they are killed because someone has a license to carry then all you hear from the parents is they made one mistake and were hanging around the wrong people
Teens…..
CANT YOU HEAR PHILADELPHIANS SCREAMING FOR HELP!!!!
Years ago the police commissioner would be blasting the captains from the 6th and 9th districts for their lack of deployment addressing roving gangs of juveniles. This commissioner must be getting her nails done
Keep treating them with pacifiers in their mouth, instead of proper justice, these incidents will just keep happening..
Teens again
Hopefully the tourists refuse to go to crime ridden Philly and the city goes bankrupt. This guy refuses to do his job and must be removed from office. 👇
Teens?
I guess the defying the police movement is over?
need more stores on that block that sell essential oils, cell phone cases, and of course bongs and crossbows, yup thatll attract the right crowd
I am truly getting tired of repeating, over and over, that crime by juveniles absolutely must be dealt with differently. The present concept of non punishment, diversion and talking nice to them is not working. Not at all. If the parents can’t control them, laws can.
stop kids from entering businesses that is not with an adult‼️ other than that it will continue‼️everything need age restrictions that way they can be charged correctly once violated
“Teens” as in 13%?
Keep voting Democrat
Animals! No doubt as to who did it.
I lived in Center City in the 90s - Ed Rendell was mayor and the city was on the upswing back then (Sam Rappaport had finally died so all the properties he let decay were being rebuilt). Seems like it's going back down...
Where are the cops?
I have another word for these teens and it starts with an N
Teens?
Keep lowering the punishment for crimes, this is only going to get worst. Great job Democrats!
Shocking!
It is way past time for parents to step up & parent. Consequences for both for repeat offenders. This behavior just keeps starting younger & younger. When juveniles see that people are getting away with everything they figure why not. So sad
Well, I guess the store owner should have started shooting…if the law isn’t going to protect them they need to protect themselves. Sad state of affairs.. I used to love going into Philly. Several women have been attacked and beat up as well. Awful.
Neither the store nor society need to do anything to compensate for these effing savages. enough is enough with this crap. Let’s get a district attorney who’s willing to prosecute and hammer them and a citizenry that’s gonna take action and get rid of these little bastarts
Guns guns guns. Get them, keep them. NEVER work a retail job in a city without one. Shoot in the air to scare them off, if they don’t run. Start blasting.
This is what happens when police can no longer do their job. This is what happens when parents are not held accountable for their children. This is what happens when we don’t set example and just let them out with a slap on the wrist.
No one is minding the store -- meaning the teens. Their parents are MIA.
There’s your Social Justice right there ✊🏿
I don’t see any white kids. Where’s the equality?
Did these “juveniles” have any other specific characteristics? No skin color?
Yes…thanks to Soc. Justice politicians & parents who provide no guidance,discipline or consequences 🤷♂️
Oh well...
They need to implode Philly and Portland.
When you live in a sh!thole what is the downside to going to jail? There is no negative reinforcement to stop this behavior. Been the same for generations, it's just getting more violent now.
I’m so happy to be moving out of here.
hold the kids charge the parents$$$$$
Just wait till the weather warms
and is not even summer yet ....hang on to your hats philly !!!!!!
This is just sad! SMH 🤦🏽♀️🤬This generation is like a new species or virus!
Wait until all businesses eventually pull out of the city.
Too bad that employee wasn’t armed.
Parents.. if any of these kids are yours… you’re all failures. They’ll be in jail, dead or have kids of their own doing the same stupid shit in 10 years. Stop having children if you can’t raise them or control them.
Again! Where are the parents? They should also be held accountable for raising kids with no morals!!!!
This summer in Philadelphia is gonna be so entertaining. PhillyMayor PPDCommish DA_LarryKrasner PHLCouncil stock-up on your popcorn.
Why these inner cities keep voting Democrat is beyond me. What have they done for poor people that has earned them a blanket democratic vote?
Start detaining parents at city jail for a week if they child does this . You will see some changes .
Not teens though.... blacks
MLK would be so proud
Not about a party. It’s about redirecting negative behaviors
Hey for profit business execs, rich real estate developers, wealthy restaurant group owners… step up and do your part to solve the problems…
Democrats will erect a statue to honor teamwork
Again Same ole Same Ole
**group of black juveniles 🤣
Parents need 2 start holding their kids accountable 4 their actions instead of being 'friends' 2 them. Be parents 4 God's sake & teach them right from wrong!
They tried to get into naf naf on 19th and market around 815. Luckily they had just locked the doors and wouldn't let them in . Then they started screaming at an elderly Asian lady on a scooter . One of them couldn't have been older than 10/11 ....Arrest the parents
“Kids don’t have nothing to do”. I had a lot less activities and places when I was growing up and I didn’t do this.
I'm reading these comments and not only see the type of viewers has, but the lack of understanding is mind boggling. Everyone states the problem but no solution. These kids need more space and activities.
Krasner’s children strike again
Why report on the mundane, the commonplace? Tell us something we don't assume happens regularly.
These are the consequences of a progressive Democratic run city, PATHETIC!! Businesses are going to shut down and move away! Way to go Philly!!!
Why am I not surprised? 🤔
Kids don't have anything to do? People need to learn how to entertain themselves Homework, a job, a movie, a book, a game Stare at a damn wall
They keep doing it because there’s no repercussions! Kids learn by example! Criminals get a free ride in Philly!
Probably the same pack of rabid hounds that attacked the woman on 15th and chestnut!!
Unfortunately this will continue to happen because of Failed Leadership! Nothing but Pathetic Excuses for this Criminal Behavior! We can thank DA_LarryKrasner an a few of his supporters PHLCouncil, & HelenGymPHL! This is why Wawa left Center City!
Dang juveniles.
Media won’t dare to identify them as Black
When are they going to start holding parents/guardians accountable for these kids’ actions both the parent and child should be arrested - watch how fast the shit ends when parents face criminal charges for their kids’ actions.
Sorry philorch , phila_ballet , and KimmelCC won't be renewing my subscriptions. I've already been attacked once by a group of five teens while walking to the e cesspool that is SEPTA Suburban Station.
After school lockdown is required. Kids need to be taken to police station until parent come to get them. Keep them off the streets.
Where are the parents
While I do think people should be able to operate their businesses at all times, store owners should consider being open during school hours. Send a message the children and ruin it for all the children.
PhillyMayor, PPDCommish What exactly needs to happen for you two to get off your asses?
100 dollars...they are not Asian, white or Hispanic teens. And Miss Kenney our useless Mayor will never talk about them.
Heathens.
Dems too soft on crime policies have destroyed Philly. Leaders do your job address skyrocketing drugs,homicides, rapes, shootings, violent crimes. GovernorShapiro PhillyMayor DA_LarryKrasner SenBobCasey SenatorKimWard JohnFetterman SenMastriano PhiladelphiaGov
😲crime in the city shocking. And even bigger news is your reporting it.😉 Maybe old Jimmy boy is gone now and you'll report the actual news .
These teens know there will be no consequence for their actions whether it’s beating an elderly man with a parking cone, jumping a defenseless woman or ransacking a store…this behavior will not end until they face consequences that stick.
But don't notice the patterns.
