Default Mob of black teens reportedly beats white Alabama family in raciallycharged attack

FLORENCE, Ala. — A white family was attacked by a mob of twenty
to thirty black teens at a city-sponsored event in Florence
earlier this month according to a report from Huntsville CBS
affiliate WHNT. Local police, however, are hesitant to
characterize the incident as a “hate crime.”

Kevin Dawes and his fourteen-year-old son Brandon claim they
were beaten around 8:30 PM when the “First Friday” event vendors
had started to go home. Brandon was struck first from behind and
the mob quickly swarmed his father who tried to protect him.
Kevin proceeded to be tased and beaten while the group smashed
in the windshield of the family car containing his wife, Juli,
and his four-year-old son. The mob scattered at the sound of
sirens from the Florence Police responding to Juli’s 911 call.

During the investigation, Juli reported hearing many “slurs of
race” from the teens as they beat her husband and son.

“They’re screaming, you know, yeah, ‘get that white!,’ you know
and Tasing him and laughing and taunting,” Juli said. While the
incident is not yet being classified as a hate crime, the
Florence Police Department has not ruled out the possibility and
is examining the situation “from all possible angles.” Police
Chief Ron Tyler said “There are no set of circumstances that
would ever justify an unprovoked attack by a group of thugs, and
we will not allow any group to hijack the family friendly First
Fridays event.”

As of now, there are no persons of interest in the case.

The seemingly unprovoked attack left Kevin with serious injuries
and the rest of the family traumatized. Kevin suffered a broken
facial bone, a black eye, and seven Taser burns. Brandon was
taken aback by the way the situation escalated and seemed to
come out of nowhere. “Randomly, they just him me in the back of
the head,” the fourteen-year-old said. “I didn’t think nothing
of it at first because, well, I thought maybe somebody tripped
or something.”

In light of the ever increasing confrontations between police
and citizens nationwide, the FBI dispatched trainers to hold a
two-day seminar in Florence on “appropriate decision making,”
after the incident was reported. According to the police
department’s Facebook page, “The class is designed to prepare
first line supervisors for ethical and appropriate decision
making in a changing world.” The attack took place on the same
day as the now infamous McKinney, Texas pool party police
incident that received worldwide news coverage.

The Florence investigation to find the perpetrators is ongoing.
