Black Mob Attacks 15 y/o White Kid Over Basketball Shoes
A white kid was walking out of a recreation center and ended up being mugged over his shoes. It was caught on tape.
They were also screaming the name of a viral website labeled as a "shock site". I guess they wanted to go viral with this. Instead, they will be arrested and charged.
From CBS Local (Pittsburgh):
Local recreation centers are supposed to be safe places for kids and teens, but what happened outside the rec center in Brookline is now the subject of a police investigation.
Police say the incident happened in broad daylight along Brookline Boulevard. A 15-year-old boy was at the center to play some hoops.
That’s when a group of African-American teenage boys approached the white victim and began beating him, allegedly to steal his basketball shoes, and for website notoriety.
On the video the group of boys can be heard screaming the name of the website “World Star” as they round the corner. That’s when police say they attacked. Another teen captured the attack on his cell phone.
World Star is an urban outlet website that hosts music videos, artist information, and also posts viral videos.
It’s described as a “shock site.”

74% of small businesses will fire workers, cut hours under Obamacare
Despite the administration's controversial decision to delay forcing companies to join Obamacare for a year, three-quarters of small businesses are still making plans to duck the costly law by firing workers, reducing hours of full-time staff, or shift many to part-time, according to a sobering survey released by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce."Small businesses expect the requirement to negatively impact their employees. Twenty-seven percent say they will cut hours to reduce full time employees, 24 percent will reduce hiring, and 23 percent plan to replace full time employees with part-time workers to avoid triggering the mandate," said the Chamber business survey provided to Secrets.
Under Obamacare, just 30 hours — not the nationally recognized 40 hours — is considered full-time. Companies with 50 full-time workers or more are required to provide health care, or pay a fine.

The administration recently decided to wait a year before businesses had to comply, but many are trying to get ready anyway. The president did not delay the mandate that Americans must have health insurance or pay a fine, however.
The Chamber's second quarter small business survey found that just 30 percent are ready for the law and even understand what is required.
Dealing with Obamacare is the biggest worry of small businesses and comes as they continue to see a sluggish economy which has already put a brake on their hiring. Just 17 percent reported adding employees in the past two years. And only one-in-five small business owners believe that they will add employees in the next two years.
The Chamber added that "nearly one-in-four employers say the health care bill is their biggest obstacle to hiring more employees."
Other key findings from the Chamber survey:
— 77 percent continue to think the U.S. economy is on the wrong track. However, small businesses are more optimistic about their local economy and individual business.
— The majority (61 percent) of small businesses do not have plans to hire next year.
— Concerns about regulation have increased significantly from 35 percent last quarter to 42 percent now.
Small businesses are looking for leadership on issues that will remove barriers and encourage growth.
— 88 percent of all small businesses support addressing entitlement spending to resolve America's growing financial challenges and escalating debt.
— 83 percent support congressional efforts to reform the tax code — with the majority focusing on making it less complex.
— 81 percent of small businesses surveyed believe the immigration system is broken and needs to be reformed.
— In contrast to the president's recent speech pushing new energy regulations, 90 percent of small businesses support easing EPA regulations and opening up more federal lands for drilling.

Is Marley Lion Murder like Trayvon Martin Case? Two teens, different races, wildly different reactions.
Parallels are being drawn between the death of Trayvon Martin, left, to that of local teen, Marley Lion, right.
Around the Internet this week, folks are drawing parallels to the Charleston murder of 17-year-old Marley Lion, who is white, to the death of Trayvon Martin.
Lion died in June 2012 while in his parked car outside a Charleston bar. His attackers were three black men, and they have since been arrested and face murder charges. Read more about Marley Lion's death.
Martin's case drew international media attention. George Zimmerman, who shot Martin in a Sanford, Fla., confrontation, said the killing was self defense. A jury acquitted Zimmerman Saturday. The jury's action drew protests across the country and in Charleston.
While Lion's case was the subject of a large-scale Charleston manhunt, it did not draw more than regional media coverage.
Here Is the Original Story:
3 Charged in Marley Lion Murder
Police charge three men with murder in connection with teen's death.
Charleston Police have arrested three men and charged them with murder related to the homicide of 17-year-old Marley Lion.
Ryan Deleston, 30, was arrested Monday as he exited a CARTA bus on Market Street in downtown Charleston. He faces murder and attempted armed robbery charges as well as charges for using a firearm in the commission of a violent crime and charges for carrying a weapon with a filed-off serial number.
Bryan Latrell Rivers, 27, and Julius Terrell Brown, 31, are also charged with murder and weapons charges related to the homicide. They were arrested Monday when roughly 80 officers conducted a warrants sweep in the Ardmore section of West Ashley.
A fourth suspect, George Brown, is charged with accessory after the fact, Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen said.
Lion was shot as he sat in his vehicle in a Savannah Highway parking lot. He died after medical workers transported him to the hospital. The recent high school graduate was planning to attend Clemson University. Before he died, he told police he pulled into the parking lot to rest after drinking too much that evening.
Video surveillance captured the homicide, but police appeared to struggle in getting leads on the case. They pleaded with the public earlier this month for leads in a press conference. Police say ultimately tips led them to the suspects.
Officers received a tip that one of the suspects was interested in selling the firearm used in the homicide. With the assistance of ATF, officers were able to purchase that weapon on July 15, Mullen said.
Ballistic testing confirmed it was the gun used to kill Lion and that's when the arrest occurred. In the meantime, police constantly watched the suspects. All four suspects have been booked into the Charleston County jail.
Secret Service also assisted in improving the video quality of surveillance footage that is believed to have captured the shooting on tape.
Mullen emotionally thanked all of the law enforcement agencies and the community members who helped in the investigation.
"This was a senseless act of violence that has touched our department and our community," he said. "I am proud today of the men and women who helped bring these criminals to justice and I know that Marley would be proud of them to."
Charleston Mayor Joe Riley said these arrests carry a message to criminals: "In Charleston, we will catch you and you will go to jail."
Ninth Circuit solicitor Scarlett Wilson congratulated the Charleston department for handling the case in a patient, thoughtful way, even as the community sought swift justice.
"They didn't go in like a bunch of cowboys," she said. "They handled this like pros. It has been painstaking and nerve racking and challenging for them, but they saw fit to do this the right way — to make sure that we have a case we can proceed with."
Wilson also encouraged the community to stay engaged as the case as it heads into the courts. "The journey for justice is just beginning," she said. "We're going to need your help throughout the prosecution. We cannot do this alone."
