A Clearer Picture Emerges...

On Sunday morning at approximately 12:40 a.m., a tourist from L.A. asked my friends Adam Hostler, 20, and Danielle Lovier, 19, the way to Logan Square. They told him how to get there from Broad and Walnut, where they were waiting for a taxi. But before a cab came, a large crowd of males "pointed to us and ran" in their direction, says Adam. At least three of the males circled Adam and the tourist and punched them in their stomachs, arms and faces, while a few others recorded the proceedings on camera (Danielle was left alone). The mob moved on after chipping the tourist's tooth, stealing Adam's cell phone and leaving them both bruised.

The police on the scene told the victims that the attackers, most of whom were black, were out looking to mob white males and post videos of the attacks on YouTube. On Tuesday morning the Police Department confirmed receiving calls about incidents on Broad Street, and said one juvenile was arrested, but that it had no idea if the attacks were racially motivated, or if YouTube was somehow involved. We couldn't find any videos of the beatings.

-City Paper, May 27th

The timing places this event on the night of May 23rd/ Morning of May 24th, when the teenage mob arose the firs time a week earlier.

The same type of events seem to be happening in Baltimore as well.

Again, still nothing final here. No final links, nothing to actual connect anything... just a lot of patterns popping up. If you have info, please post it as a comment.
