Mesa police arrested a juvenile male and three men who tried pressure two high school girls into having sex and then used a shotgun to threaten two men who came to the girls’ rescue.
The four men began pressing the girls into sex and drinking alcohol late Wednesday night in the 700 block of West Edgewood Avenue, but police said the nervous girls refused. When the girls asked to be taken home, the men demanded $10 for gas before taking them anywhere. The girls called friends to pick them up, and the four suspects confronted two men who arrived.
One of the suspects reached into the vehicle driven by the girls’ friends and tried to take a wallet out of his pocket, police said. The 21-year-old victim slapped the suspect’s hand away, but a second suspect brandished a shotgun and threatened the man. The suspect took the victim’s wallet and removed $3 and a debit card. As the confrontation continued, both of the girls’ friends were struck in the head by one or more of the suspects.
The girls then got into their friends’ vehicle, and all the victims left the scene as they called police.
Police responded with multiple air units to search for the suspects. The men emerged from a residence, and police found the shotgun, a pistol and the victim’s debit card. Police arrested Elijah Harper, 20, Jeffrey Thomas, 24, and Kishawn Allen, 19, on suspicion of robbery. The juvenile also was arrested on a warrant and robbery charges. The Tribune does not publish the names of juvenile suspects.

Why can't blacks just get jobs like the rest of society and stop stealing and robbing people?

I am sure none of them have a previous record and this was a big misunderstanding.
Just another example of DWB and racist cops. Drinking while black.

Juggs - because their president, that they overwhelmingly supported by a margin of 95%, doesn't give a rip about them. He snubbed them at the NAACP conference, he's done nothing to curb black unemployment. He's currently trying to buy the hispanic vote by shoving through amnesty. Obama knows he doesn't have to do anything to get the black vote.

Jen,
Yes, you are right. Can't say the same for Engaged Voter though. Even if Obama said he would repeal the 13th amendement, these fools would vote for him anyways. I am not racist, I just call it as I see it.

obama has MESSED up everything that America stands for. He throws all groups under the bus and they still are for him (UNBELIEVABLE) . We will be totally socialistic if he gets 4 more years. Can't believe anyone is for him,Joe is right, but no one will even believe the facts. WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

Now don't these fine young men look like pillars of our community. Maybe if they got shipped off to afganistan for several months, they might have a more wholesome attitude towards moral values and leadership. Bet my bottom dollar they came from "tax user" households, without a father, and immersed in the "entitlement mentality". Remember to hug a liberal today, this scum is their creation, and coming to a street corner near you.

"I am not racist, I just call it as I see it. "
But you only "call it" when the perpetrators are black or Hispanic.
Which was my point. ;)

It's quite revealing, the mindset of "some" people...
I called out the blatant prejudice in a comment and suddenly I am a liberal, pro-illegal, pro-Obama socialist (which couldn't be farther from the truth).
Juggernaut, your past comments seem sane and rational...did something happen?
