The worst part is that he has no teeth left but he's now receiving past due notices from the dentist.

White Man Beaten By Mob In Detroit After Hitting Boy With Truck: Was It A Hate Crime?

DETROIT (WWJ) - As a 54-year-old Roseville man clings to life in the hospital following a brutal mob beating on Detroit’s east side, many are starting to wonder if the whole thing was racially motivated.

As first reported by WWJ Newsradio 950, an 11-year-old boy suffered a broken leg on Wednesday when he was hit by a pickup truck after walking into the street near Morang and Balfour. The driver, Steven Utash, immediately got out of his truck after hitting the boy and was viciously attacked by 10 to 12 men. The beating was so brutal, Utash was rendered unconscious.


Utash’s son Joseph told WWJ’s Gary Lundy Thursday night that his father remains in a medically induced coma, nearly unrecognizable due to his injuries. He also said his wallet was stolen from his truck.

“If it went on any longer, my dad wouldn’t be in the hospital right now, he would be in the morgue. The way he looked, I am surprised that he is alive,” he said. “He has bruising over his face, his eyes are swollen, I believe it’s his left eye that is completely swollen shut. He also has a big, huge knot on his forehead like he got hit with an object, not a fist.”

Joseph Utash said he was working with his father in Detroit just hours before the attack. Both of the men are tree-trimmers, working in the city for years now.

“I came home from work and it was on the news, my dad’s pickup truck, and I was just like ‘Oh my god.’ Then I heard that he hit a kid and I was like freaking out that my dad hit a kid. And then I heard that bystanders just beat him up and I just, I called my mom immediately,” he said. ”From what I’m hearing is he tried to fight back, but trying to fight back against 11 people fighting you, that’s 22 fists coming at you at once, you can’t really do much.”

Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody said Steven Utash was not at fault for the accident.

“Our preliminary investigation shows the child stepped in front of his vehicle,” Woody said. “He did exactly the right thing. He stopped his vehicle, he got out and he tried to render aid to a small child. He did exactly what he was supposed to do… It was a small child and it was an accident; is what it was.”

State Rep. Alberta Tinsley Talabi (D-Detroit), told WWJ Legal Analyst Charlie Langton the incident appears to have racial overtones, adding, “it’s wrong.”

Joseph Utash said although it was tough to stomach, he watched video of the incident.

“It shows the kid, he was standing on the curb with his dad and as my dad’s truck was coming down the street, the kid stepped right in front of my dad’s truck. My dad had absolutely not one chance in the world to try to swerve out-of-the-way or stop,” he said. “He got out of the car to check on the kid and before he even got up to the kid, he got assaulted by 11, 12 people. They jumped all over him and beat him up. While they were jumping him, somebody else jumped in the truck and stole his belongings. They took his wallet, his cellphone, everything out of his truck.”

Sgt. Woody said the gas station at the corner where the accident happened is a popular neighborhood gathering place, so it was no surprise that there were 20 or 30 people at the scene of the attack.

“It didn’t take very long for people to converge on the area when they saw the accident take place,” Woody said. “When the child was struck, he was in a lot of pain, there was screaming and crying. He was terrified, I’m sure, and I think that’s what drew the attention of the people in the immediate area.”

One woman stepped in to help Steven Utash. Nurse Debra Hughes intervened and stopped the attack: “He was already down, bleeding from the mouth and the nose – so there wasn’t nothing else they could do to him but kill him,” she said.

“Then EMS came and I kept him calm, I kept his hands down and everything so he could be comfortable,” said Hughes. “He had the biggest gash on his head I ever seen – he was bleeding from the mouth and he was unconscious when I first got there … being a registered nurse, I thought I could go out and help him.”

Joseph Utash said he believes his father was intentionally targeted or even worse, that skin color might have played a role. Based on witness accounts, the attackers were African American.

“I’ve talked to one Detroit police officer and I think that, personally in my own heart, I think it was all a setup from the gate,” he said, ”meaning that my dad’s been driving up and down Morang for 15, 16 years working for the same company and they know he has a job, they know he has money and they robbed him. You know, he had a bag with all his stuff in it. He showed me that he had all this money in his wallet that morning, telling me he just took the money out of the bank so he could pay his dentist.

“As far as a hate crime, it might be,” he said. “You know, it’s like you go in Detroit and you’re white, you don’t belong. Seriously. I’ve been pulled over by police before and they’re like ‘Get back across 8 Mile,’ like I’m not supposed to be over there, like I’m not allowed to go in Detroit.”

Police declined to say if investigators thought the attack was racially charged.

The boy, David Harris, is expected to recover from his injuries, according to his uncle, Desmond Key. No arrests have been made in the beating, but the boy’s father was taken into custody, on an unrelated warrant.

“At this point, based on [the pickup driver's] condition, there’s some pretty serious charges that we’re looking at,” Sgt. Woody said.

Police are hoping the public can help investigators find those responsible for the beating.

Anyone who witnessed the attack, can identify the assailants, or who has any information about this case is urged to call Detroit police at 313-596-1616.  Tips can be made anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.

 

This happen in Louisiana when a black man hit a black girl a few years back.  COMPLETE FUCKING WASTE OF THREAD SPACE!

In your opinion, what is the root cause(s) of the difference in delinquency between white and black youth?

C'mon, dude. You're familiar with the culture. It doesn't take a sociologist.

[oldtimer1]

If a black guy hit a white kid and was beaten up by a mob of whites it would be the first story on nation wide news for months. Papers would carry 3 or 5 different articles about it. There would be marches and possible rioting.

 Just like when Martin in Florida was killed. From the time he was killed to the conclusion of the trial hundreds of young black men were murdered by other black men and there was no nation wide news coverage.

[jon cole]

Shit, there's a grading system?

yes it's the "idh" in french = indice of human devellopment.
Actually cap verde is 137 on 187.

if cap verde is 137 i can't imagine how are the last country...

Number of n*ggas held accountable in this story: zero.

We should start crop dusting Detroit with some kind of sterilization chemicals. That ought to solve the problem.

Brother, that's complicated.  There are a myriad of factors coalescing.

If you wouldnt mind posting 4-5 in bulletpoint fashion, that would be cool. I can tell you've done your research and are fairly knowledgeable, so I'd be interested to hear what you have to say

Funny thing, I saw your post and have been thinking about the best way to respond. I can do as you request. Let me try to organize a concise response.

Of course.... I would say that centuries of systematic discrimination in America led to decreased opportunity for most blacks, compared to other races.  Less opportunity means less money which tends to lead to more crime.

I don't think there's anything inherent to any race that would predispose them to crime...but I do think that any child born into poverty is far more likely to remain poor, commit crimes, and have more children born into poverty--perpetuating the cycle.

Of course, it is possible for ANYONE to overcome difficult circumstances...but it'll be that much more difficult to achieve success.  And I think, proportionally, more blacks are born into difficult situations than are whites.  Hence the disproportionate crime rates between races

Yes because blacks in other countries of the world, that are governed by blacks, are so rich and affluent.

[muscleman-2013]

And he posted it because it's never called a hate crime when this shit happens; the press steers clear and you'll never hear a word from Obama.  If a white mob did this it would be all over the news and Sharpton and Jackson would be holding press conferences. 

Ka Ching!

Good idea.

Let's make certain the chemicals destroy the white trash as well.

[muscleman-2013]

Nah I'm a white male, everybody loves me....I just wonder why "Roger Bacon" doesn't just get straight to the point and make a thread titled "I hate blacks" instead of posting thinly-veiled racism

You seem like a real tosser.  And you don't seem bright enough to have a discussion with.

[Archer77]

Good idea.

The chemical for white trash already exists, its called meth.

[wild willie]

here again.......I ask......whatever happen to one on one?


how tough and brave are you when it is several people fighting one guy?


cowards......period...pa ragraph.......hopefully these cowards will be apprehended and locked up forever.......throw the fucking key away!!!

[V Man]

The thing is, when white on black racism was strong in America years ago.....it was wrong because the reasons for it were based on ignorance. More and more though, blacks are giving whites good reason to be racist.

[pumped1961]

FINALLY someone gets it.  Glad i got my point across

im white out of work wheres my job? get real man we owe the blacks nothing!

No white or asian person could possibly be poor or oppressed?

Only African Americans, Hispanics, and Muslims are justified in beating and raping innocent people.

Let's lock them up in a big cell with our politicians

Spielberg is the typical bitter Hebrew, hating on white man at every opportunity for ruining his game. It really is that simple.

You see, Hebrews put themselves as gods chosen in their own religion. It worked for a long time. But religion was in time conclusively demolished by white scientist and the secular culture they started in Europe. Thanks to this, religion is now permanently rooted as but a wisecrack absurdity that it really is.

And it can't be stopped. This secular culture is now gaining ground world wide, in Israel, Africa, Asia, Middle East these factions are all losing their religious influences over people.

So you see, white man ruined their game forever, and the game of all trash buffooneries that is religious extremists. No religious faction will ever be able to wield power like that again. Hebrews hope to ever rule as "gods chosen" was wiped out.

Power hungry intellectual Hebrews are especially bitter for this.

[Rami]

Ever heard of the catholic church? Perhaps you should look into the power they now currently wield. Imbecile...

They wield jack shit.
