Think this makes the national news? Me either
Mobile police need your help to catch a mob that beat Matthew Owens so badly that he’s in critical condition.
According to police, Owens fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night. They say the kids left and a group of adults returned, armed with everything but the kitchen sink.
Police tell News 5 the suspects used chairs, pipes and paint cans to beat Owens.
Owens’ sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. “It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed.” Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using “brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on.”
What Parker says happened next could make the fallout from the brutal beating even worse. As the attackers walked away, leaving Owen bleeding on the ground, Parker says one of them said “Now thats justice for Trayvon.”

The fact that they used Trayvon's name may get the story some national play but otherwise no. On a sidenote, what kind of moron gets invited to a mob beating and brings paint cans to fight with?

What part of my post was a troll? The only reason this isn't a Nationall story 30 seconds after this happened was because the guy that got lynched was white. Period.

I just read the story in its entirety. I am now convinced that the guy not wearing a hoodie is the reason this isn't a story.

It sure seems like a hate crime de facto. Will be interesting to see what comes of this.
Prayers for the man who was senselessly beaten. Don't know all the facts here, but no one deserves to be a victim of (what appears to be) blatent racial beating.

It's not the same as being on cable and you know it. When CBS,ABC,Fox,CNN,CNBC air his story 3 times a day for a month then get back to me.

Congrats on getting the most conservative news report to link an article. Guess what? That does not matter for crap. Lets see MSNBC spend as much time on it as they did about TM. Oh, that's right, this is not important enough for them to waste their time on it. Now, why do you think that is? Coffee, two sugars, thanks.....
