For several nights last month, a group of thugs with black hooded sweat shirts pulled tight over their heads, including at least one in "angry" clown makeup, terrorized visitors to Pierce County's Fort Steilacoom Park, police say...Rely on the state for protection and this insanity is allowed to go on unchecked. So much for the safest course being to not resist and give the attackers what they want.
"The violence was gratuitous," said Lakewood police Lt. Dave Guttu. "They [victims] had already given up their stuff and were assaulted anyway."
In a rational world, the turf would have been taken back by the good people that very night.
