In the early morning hours of September 12th, a horrific anti-White attack took place in York, Pennsylvania, near York College. What some media outlets have mislabeled as a “brawl” or “fight” was in fact an attempted lynch mob that left multiple female White college students brutalized, all captured on a disturbing video. An enormous group of people, predominantly Black, conducted a ‘Takeover:’ a blocking off of the street to obstruct normal traffic, mass loud and disorderly conduct, including drag racing down a residential street, and trespassing onto private property. The violence began after a small group of White college students asked members of the crowd to leave their private property. What followed was a vicious attack in which multiple young women were dragged from the porch and assaulted on the lawn and in the street. One victim described being pulled by her hair and kicked by multiple people at once. Thankfully, the victims were able to survive this brutal anti-White attack. The father of one of the victims has stated that the violence was not limited to just that household and that other people on the street were also affected - although video of these incidents has not yet surfaced. This incident raises serious questions about public safety and emergency response. Students say that they had called 911 multiple times prior to the brutal assault, but York City Police has claimed limited resources did not allow them to respond in a timely manner. A delayed response in a situation involving a large, disorderly gathering, one that resulted in multiple racially motivated hate crimes to occur, is unacceptable and warrants a full review of dispatch, staffing, and neighborhood coverage. Jackson Street, where the incident took place, is home to many students of the nearby York College, and is considered to be “off-campus housing.” Residents have reported that large, disorderly gatherings of this kind have become common and that problems arising around them, like an assault just two weeks prior to this one, are insufficiently addressed. Students and families are entitled to expect that private property and personal safety will be protected, that emergency calls will receive a timely response, and that those responsible for violent crimes will be identified and charged. We call on the York City Police Department, the York County District Attorney’s Office, and the York College of Pennsylvania to: Complete a thorough and transparent investigation, including review of all available video, 911 call recordings, and witness statements. Identify and charge every individual who participated in the brutal assaults, trespassing, and related offenses, and to examine whether the attack was motivated in whole or in part by racial animus and therefore eligible for treatment as a bias-motivated crime under applicable law. Review why repeated pre-assault calls did not produce an earlier police presence and establish a public-safety plan against any future large gatherings that obstruct the street, trespass on private property, or place students and other residents at risk. We will be following up on this incident and encourage members of the public with further details as to the racial nature of the incident to come to us. Anyone with information on specific criminal incidents should contact the York City Police Department through its tip line or Crimewatch portal. Tips may be submitted anonymously.
