Imagine the media coverage if this had been a group of White people beating up a Black couple. It would have been labeled a hate crime, the whole group would have been accused of being racist, and we would be experiencing outraged round the clock commentary from the Left as we saw for George Floyd.

What happened?
On the night of July 25, 2025, in downtown Cincinnati near Elm and Fourth Streets, a violent mob assault unfolded during the Cincinnati Music Festival, captured in a viral video. The footage above shows a white man in a white t-shirt being shoved to the ground by two assailants, then repeatedly punched, kicked, and stomped on the head by a group of predominantly black individuals, including men and women. The attack lasted about 50 seconds, leaving the man disoriented and bleeding from his head, nose, and mouth. A white woman attempted to intervene but was grabbed from behind and punched in the face by a man, causing her to fall unconscious as her head struck the pavement, resulting in bleeding. Bystanders cheered and recorded rather than helping, drawing criticism from the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police. The incident stemmed from a verbal altercation, but motives remain unclear, with some speculating racial animus though not confirmed.
Medically, both victims were rendered unconscious during the assault. The man suffered visible facial injuries and struggled to stand, while the woman bled from the mouth after her fall. As of July 28, 2025, no detailed updates on their recovery have been released, but they were treated at local hospitals; reports indicate they are stable but recovering from head trauma.

Legally, Cincinnati police launched an investigation immediately, classifying it as aggravated assault. Chief Terri Theetge called the behavior “cruel and unacceptable,” vowing to identify all involved. Following public pressure, including from Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon and VP JD Vance—who demanded the “thugs” be imprisoned—police identified four suspects by July 28 afternoon. No arrests have been made yet, but authorities are pursuing charges, potentially including hate crimes, with calls for full prosecution.
