There's just no end to the racist bull**** you'll spew, given the
chance. Where is the reliable source that backs up the claim in this bit
of youtube nonsense?
Your source claims the "mainstream" media aren't reporting the incident,
but the New Haven Register, an old-line establishment newspaper is, and
did so days ago. In fact, the Register reported the incident the day
after it took place. Here's a followup piece from a couple of days ago:
New Haven police say witness accounts of alleged scooter theft, assault
all differ
NEW HAVEN Police are still attempting to piece together the events that
left Brooks Macquarrie seriously injured after his scooter was allegedly
stolen Friday afternoon.
The call came in on Friday as a motor vehicle accident on Goffe Street.
Sgt. Max Joyner, district manager of Beaver Hills, said he was down the
street and got to the scene about 30 seconds after the call came in.
There were no visible skid marks, Joyner said.
Sgt. Robert Lawlor Jr., head of the Robbery/Burglary Unit, said that
police so far have three witnesses, but all their accounts of the
incident are different.
“It doesn’t seem like anyone actually observed the initial incident,” he
said.
Some witnesses reported that between five and six male teenagers rushed
Macquarrie and pushed him off the scooter, then proceeded to assault
him, according to police.
The only possible accident debris was a small piece of plastic that is a
few inches long and a screw, he said.
Macquarrie is a technician at New Haven Powersports, located on Whalley
Avenue. He has also raced in Motocross races the majority of his life,
according to employees at New Haven Powersports.
He was released from the hospital on Saturday.
Doctors who evaluated Macquarrie said his injuries are inconsistent with
a quick beat down, according to Lawlor. Macquarrie had 31 stitches and
eight staples in his scalp, two fractured ribs and a fractured right
eye-socket following the incident. He was sent to Yale-New Haven
Hospital for treatment.
The last thing he remembers is being parked on his scooter at a red
light before noticing the group of teenagers crossing the street,
according to a previous Register report. One teen on a bicycle came
close before, but his next memory was waking up in the hospital.
“They didn’t take my wallet or my gold chain, just the scooter,”
Macquarrie said in a previous report.
There was also a report that a green car and a dark-colored Acura sped
away from the scene, Lawlor said.
Officers David Rivera and Jose Miranda spotted the candy-apple red
scooter on Dixwell Avenue near the plaza shortly after 9:30 p.m. Friday.
The two young men riding the scooter abandoned it after they fled into
the rear yard of 31 Orchard Place, according to police.
The scooter is being tested for forensic evidence.
Calls placed to Macquarrie’s residence weren’t immediately returned.

Nice try, asshole.

So, in your mind it didn't happen, huh? Guy gets hit by a car and a
couple of bystanders steal the scooter?
It happened. We know the guy... What is in question is if Treyvon's name
was invoked as an excuse during the carjacking... (or bikejacking as it
were).
I wasn't saying the scooter wasn't stolen, moron.
