Philly Police Release Surveillance Video Of Blind Man Beating

Philadelphia police released a street-camera video Wednesday of a blind man taking a brutal beating in broad daylight.

The blind man, who was in the Germantown area, appeared to be pushed from behind and falls off the curb and into the street.

While on the ground, the blind man takes two punches, and then gets kicked nearly a dozen times by the attacker. He offered no defense. Police noted that there were bystanders in the video that did nothing to intervene. There were no calls to 911 until after the attack, and that call did not even specify that he had been attacked.

"A challenged person that can’t see is attacked in midday, and no one comes to his aid? That's insanity," one resident told MyFoxPhilly.com.

Seems like 'Obama tactics' are everywhere now..., actually, the attacker could have been his son.

and i thought only the IRS was low enough to beat up and steal money from a blind guy. things must really be rough in da hood if homies be resorting to gubmint tactics.

Another reason to pack a gun. This is typical in a black community. It's the mindset of the people. Low life and government welfare. Sorry to have to tell it like it is.

Not True!
I've seen Cong Fu movies where blind folded people fight off attackers by becoming one with nature.

Looks to me that the poorest woman in that neighborhood is the tooth fairy.

Nowhere in the article does it say the race of the attacker or the victim. Good job jumping to conclusions 1247

I'm still looking at the thought in my head of a blind man trying to protect himself from this with a gun....

He will get prison. Now, if it was four cops and a German Shepard, its just another day on the job.
