Duplicating some comments I made on another post:

Joe Farah seems to be looking to turn WND into a Holy VDARE (as if WND wasn’t already 50% of the way there), e.g., today’s hot story there: 100 BLACKS BEAT WHITE COUPLE, MEDIA BURY ATTACK

There’s outrage in Norfolk, Va., today after a white couple was attacked by a group of dozens of black teenagers, and the local newspaper did not report on the incident for two weeks, despite the victims being employees of the paper.

Oh, yes, outrage. We love us some outrage.

Now, it is a very troubling story, of a community very much in trouble. Here is the article in the local VA paper, the paper which waited two weeks to write about, a wait that apparently outrages the WND readership:

A beating at Church and Brambleton

[…]

Forster and Rostami wondered if the officer who answered their call treated all crime victims the same way. When Rostami, who admits she was hysterical, tried to describe what had happened, she says the officer told her to shut up and get in the car. Both said the officer did not record any names of witnesses who stopped to help. Rostami said the officer told them the attackers were “probably juveniles anyway. What are we going to do? Find their parents and tell them?”

The officer pointed to public housing in the area and said large groups of teenagers look for trouble on the weekends. “It’s what they do,” he told Forster.

Could that be true? Could violent mobs of teens be so commonplace in Norfolk that police and victims have no recourse?

Police spokesman Chris Amos said officers often respond to reports of crowds fighting; sirens are usually enough to disperse the group. On that night, he said, a report of gunfire in a nearby neighborhood prompted the officer to decide getting Forster and Rostami off the street quickly made more sense than remaining at the intersection. The officer gave them his card and told them to call later to file a report. […]

Frankly, Norfolk is a community in need of some serious work. The newspaper column continues and explains its position:

Here’s why their story is in the paper today. We cannot allow such callousness to continue unremarked, from the irrational, senseless teenagers who attacked two people just trying to go home, from the police officer whose conduct may have been typical but certainly seems cold, from the tweeting nitwits who think beating a man in Norfolk will change the death of Trayvon Martin.

Apparently that is not good enough for WND.
