MOBILE, Alabama ––
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."
Police will only say "multiple people" are involved.
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."

I would be suing Al Sharpton with a quickness. Sounds like the violence he was advocating....

Frankly, the
(probably near) future is going to be scary. 
Admittedly, Baton Rouge is probably not one of the best places to be, considering. My wife's been wanting to move further out from the city, and I've resisted due to having to commute. Her side is looking better every day.

I worked in downtown Mobile for several years, and parked several blocks away from my office building. Everyplace has its problems, but I've always thought Mobile was one of those place that was more dangerous than what most folks give it credit for.

MOBILE, Alabama ––
Mobile Police made their first arrest in the mob beating of Matthew Owens. 44-year-old Terry Rawls surrendered Wednesday on assault charges.
"This here is an ongoing dispute with neighbors, that's what this is," explained Corporal Chris Levy with the Mobile Police Department.
Police say the tension between Owens and Rawls had been escalating for three years. In fact, that wasn't the first time police were called to Delmar Drive. Police say Rawls has attacked Owens before, but charges were never filed because they say Owens instigated it.
"Unfortunately that's what this is, and these things can lead to violence and that's what happened," said Levy.
Matthew Owens suffered severe head injuries and was taken to USA Medical Center after witnesses say a mob of 20 or so people attacked him with paint cans, pipes, and chairs across the street from his sister's house. But police only expect to arrest three more people. They claim most of the mob were just bystanders.
"What we know is that Mr. Owens was fussing at some kids about playing basketball in the street," said Levy. "These kids then went back and told their parents about the exchange they had with Mr. Owens, who were having a get together down the street, came down to where Mr. Owens is, and there was a series of racial slurs exchanged, and there was a fight."
Witnesses claim one of those attackers screamed, "That's justice for Trayvon" as she drove away. That comment has created has created an uproar nationwide, but police say Florida's Trayvon Martin case has nothing to do with this.
"I can tell you without a doubt 100 percent that the Trayvon Martin case was not the motivating factor, said Levy. "That 100 percent, it is an ongoing incident between people that have been fighting for a few years now."

We lived a few miles from Pritchard when we moved there and rented a house, and it was interesting.
Cheap rent and good neighbors are all that made us stay as long as we did.
I recently went back and couldn't believe how much it has changed.

i used to run downtown,pritchard and happy hills areas. i don't ever recall getting a nights sleep on a shift or a shift where we didn't have multiple assualts. happy hills was so bad the police wouldn't respond with us unless it was an active shooting. they would park on the edge of the complex and wait for us to come out. i doubt it's much better now.
