My 17 year old jumped by 4 older men and a woman in wishram Washington

November 1, 2009
Our 17-year-old son beaten. Four adult males and a woman in wishram Washington. Since, we have been here. This is as of today 1 month. We have been terrorized. Last night my husband was jumped by another man who was enjoying the entertainment of watching another mob fight, everyone standing around watching including adults watching , the adults from the bar also, the adults having a party next door to us, including one man in his 30's who came out side to help the punks of wishram beat my 17 year old and try to kill him, this man in his 30's I hear has aids, he kicked my son numerous times and threw undercut punches numerous times while my son was laying on the ground. What was the reason for this terrible beating down of a 17 year old? We are the new people in town,” that is their excuse.(Excuse me,) for being homeless, no jobs, without a car, almost starving, no showers, and still pressing on looking for work everyday, even having an individual who works for an organization that gives free showers in The Dalles ridicule my 17 year old son because he needs to use their shower. The first of school, he walks in with joy because he gets to go to school, only to leave in tears, because the person in charge of the facility. Ridiculed him, belittled him, because he needed a clean town! Sleeping at Rest Areas all summer, on the pavement in front of the car that we did have, which was his also, but wrecked on his way back from Biggs after a shower was given to him from a wonderful couple who loves Jesus and lives on the road as truck drivers.

As my husband looked for our two sons. It was getting late. We all had work in the morning. Son Lee starts school Tuesday again at the Community College in The Dalles. My other two sons’ Chris Jr. and Moke’ just obtained jobs yesterday. In addition, as the Mom just started a new job
This would have been the third day at work.

My husband seen a fight at the basketball court, Adults from the bar just standing there watching. Crowds standing there watching. He had seen that no one was helping the kid getting beat up. While this young man was beating on another kid. He could not stand to see this, so he proceeded to walk over there and try to encourage the young men to stop. Some larger young man began throwing punches at he (husband)(with out a cause). My husband was able to dodge the blows, but he by the man on the tip of his nose. He comes back to tell he did not find the two boys Then he proceeded out the door to search again for our two boys again.

He had seen a mob of 25 people or more across from the church. In addition, my youngest son Lee standing in the midst of the crowd surrounded by them “crying and bleeding profusely”, my husband drove up to the crowd, the crowd then disperses and disappears into the darkness. He brings our sons to home. He proceeds to call 911 and the police. They show up, the medics, comprised of this little town called Wishram in Washington. They check over our son, and we let them know that we are taking his to the hospital. The police take our reports, then, try to investigate the neighbors next door and some of the young men who were all adults involved in the beating of our 17-year-old son. We did not see any one go to jail. It was obvious that this was a planned deal with this little town of Wishram.

We told the police we wanted to press charges. In addition, nothing came of it. It is now day light. We are going into Oregon to follow up on this matter. We will follow-up with the Authorities that be and the Hospital.

Please let the country know. That being a Bully is unacceptable.

Sounds like a lovely place to live. How about borrowing your rich uncles camcorder and filming some of these obviously entertaining street fights. You could even post them on YouTube. Let's GitR Done
