Blog 4 Mob Violence


      1. According to the Free Dictionary, mob violence is defined as: “A disturbance of the peace by several persons, assembled and acting with a common intent in executing a lawful or unlawful enterprise in a violent and turbulent manner.”
Two examples of mob violence are riots and bully groups. I believe that group violence exists because it’s out of hatred for a specific group of individuals.
2. In October 2011, a mob attack in Georgia set the bar for school violence at football games. A group of 30 to 50 black people, including players, attacked an opposing coach after a game; striking him in the face with their helmets. He required extensive surgery to his face.

Superintendent Carole Jean Carey was by Daniel's side when the Hancock County Football team attacked him and his players with their football helmets. She said it happened after Warren County beat Hancock Central 21-2. She said their team was walking back to the lockers, but the door was locked. She said that's when they were attacked. Daniel stepped in, "He yelled stop, what are you doing and the player was fixing to hit our players again, but just swung around and slammed his helmet into our coach's face." Carey added that the team had a plan to go to the locker room after the game and get right onto the bus, because the rivalry between Warren and Hancock is always intense. We asked her if that plan had anything to do with Warren County's former coach, Marleau Blunt, now being on Hancock's football coaching staff and she said no.
In this case, the victim would be the coach David Daniel and the offenders would be the Hancock County football team.

Propaganda such as the link below was used against slaves to have the same rights as whites.                                                                                                                                        http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/BLAKE10.JPG/200px-BLAKE10.JPG
