Last week’s mob assault on a man who stopped to assist a young boy who’d stepped in front of his pickup truck was so horrifying – even by Detroit standards – that it made national international headlines.
From Fox News Insider ~
A brutal beating on the streets of Detroit has left a 54-year-old father of three fighting for his life. The shocking incident happened last week when Steve Utash, a tree trimmer from Roseville, Mich., struck a 10-year-old boy with his pickup truck.
The scene was captured from a distance on surveillance video, and it appears that a group of youngsters were playing a game of chicken with passing cars, darting into the street and sticking their legs out. When Utash struck one of the children accidentally, he stopped and got out to check on the boy.
A group of older teens, however, attacked Utash, beating him nearly to death. Two teens, ages 16 and 17, have been arrested, but authorities are still looking for more of the attackers.
The 10-year-old boy suffered a broken foot […]
Utash remains hospitalized in a medically-induced coma.
Way to go Detroit.
This city isn’t just fiscally broke – it’s morally bankrupt.
And the former didn’t cause the later. We can’t put this crime down to poverty. Even during the Great Depression, Detroit didn’t turn feral. No, it’s not a lack of money. It’s a lack of humanity.
(And frankly, the rest of western “civilization” isn’t far behind.)
Before the barbarian ascendency the Motor City was a much kinder, gentler place ~

Retired nurse called hero for stopping attack on pickup driver in Detroit ~
Detroit police credited retired nurse Deborah Hughes with saving Utash, who was beaten by a crowd that quickly gathered after his pickup struck a 10-year-old boy on Detroit’s east side last week […]
Sgt. Michael Woody said that when Hughes got onto the ground to shield Utash during the attack, his assailants backed off.
“She’s a hero for it,” Woody said. “She saved that man’s life.”
