From Jsonline: "An attack on an African-American student from Wauwatosa West High School appears to be racially motivated, Brookfield police said Thursday.
According to Capt. Jim Adlam:
Four male Wauwatosa West students - the African-American student and three white students - were running near the pavilion area of Lamplighter Park about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Three white males in a black four-door vehicle swerved at the runners and at least one of the males yelled racial slurs. The vehicle stopped and a fight ensued, Adlam said.
While the 18-year-old African-American student was being attacked, one of his classmates, 17, intervened.
The 17-year-old was punched by one of the males from the vehicle and told police he was knocked out. He later received stitches at Froedtert Hospital for lacerations to his upper lip."
I hope they catch these thugs and lock them away for a long, long time.
While the 17 year old got the crap beat out of him, he is still a hero.
I ran cross country for Tosa East in the 70's and then, Oconomowoc.. Cross-country runners are a rare breed and they will defend their brethren. Again, I hope they catch these thugs.
