Today someone sent me a message. I can only assume that I received the message because they knew I would do something, by posting onto my website, so that is what I am going to do. The message read like this and I apoligize for the vulgarity but I am pasting it in as it was sent to me, "UD, OCTOBER 2005- A black man was beaten by some white males and was stripped of his clothing. His clothing was set ablaze in the middle of Chapel Street. Another white male, was passing by the scene when he saw 10 men shouting obscene and vulgar racial slurs. He also saw the burning clothing and put out the fire and confronted the shouting men. He was then burned by a cigarette and also beaten until blood was pouring out of his nose. His roommate was somehow able to drag him to safety."
I do not know when this happened, all I was told was what you see. I am trying to find out more and will update as I do.
It appears the UDaily has posted this crime on their website this afternoon, October 13, 2005. You can read their story here.
Once again I am asking everyone to please speak out against the violence that is overwhelming the streets of Newark, Delaware in and around the University of Delaware campus.
Thank you,
Christy
