This is most disgusting. Toss the key on these creeps. Get them on a chain gang where they can expend some of that energy. Wonder why they targeted her twice? More to this story than is told.

what kind of ferrell youths beat this lady? could the writer/editors provide a description of the young men who did this so we could know what to look for when we're out walking around lake phalen? It might be kind of helpful to know and it is a relevant part of the story.

Why isn't this a headline article. Me thinks the PP is trying to hide this insidious act from all of us. That way the libs who are ruining this city can go about their duties to make this once great city into a gang ridden, Detroit feeling, sheed hole.
Do you all realize there are over 4100 vacant homes in this town? Why? Because all of the good people are moving out, and only section 8 is moving in. Wake up people, the end maybe near.

Yes, unfortunately it's true we have become that "politically correct." If this is allowed to continue this whole country will slide right in the toilet.

Earlier reports indicated that the thugs were of Asian decent.
In response to "Humble Opinion", where does it say she was targeted twice? In the 2nd incident, it was 2 18 year olds that were targeted.

On the 10pm news last night they tiptoed around, and hinted toward contacting the Asian Gang Task Force.

My heart goes out to the innocent victims of these cowardly scum.
Yes, cowardly!!!! To attack without any reason a person who is unarmed, alone and pretty much helpless is cowardice.
There is nothing brave or manly in doing this, just plain evil and Godlessness.

it isnt because of section8[and no i am not on it just 4 your info]its because parents need to use some of these treatments[but not as severe until they find out if it was there kid]like taking control of there kids instead of kids controlling the parents

These thugs needs to be caught regardless of their race!!! Anyone who is able to do this to unsuspecting innocent people just out to enjoy a walk should be brought to justice. Its time for the community to take back Saint Paul and stand up to this chaos.

"Stupid"? If you think that my post demonstrated a lack of intelligence, plese elaborate.

The "idiots" were described as Asian. I am a Brother (i.e., Black). Ergo, I am not one of the "idiots".
