Recently, a large group of Black youths began pummeling several white adults in downtown Cincinnati.
The original altercation apparently broke out between a Black and white male in he-said/he-said fashion. But that dispute soon turned into a virtual free-for-all.
Numerous male and female Black youths sucker-punched a middle-aged woman and a man. Others continued to kick or body slam the victims, who were sprawled on their backs and seemingly unconscious.
There were many disturbing aspects to the beat-downs.
One, the violence broke out along racial and age fault lines. After the initial one-on-one dispute, groups of Black youths swarmed solitary older white bystanders to pound them.
