St. Louis Bosnians outraged about a deadly hammer attack in the city’s
Bevo Mill neighborhood spilled into the streets Sunday night to voice
frustrations over violence touching their community.
“We’re just angry because we’re trying to protect our community,”
said Mirza Nukic, 29, of St. Louis. “We’re just trying to be peaceful.”
Nukic was among at least 50 people, mostly, if not all Bosnians, who
briefly blocked Gravois Avenue at Itaska Street on Sunday night to protest
the killing. The intersection was near where Zemir Begic, a Bosnian man who
moved to St. Louis this year, was attacked by at least three teens with
hammers early Sunday.
Police said Begic was in his vehicle about 1:15 a.m. in the 4200 block
of Itaska when several juveniles approached and began damaging his car.
Police said Begic got out to confront the juveniles, who began yelling at
him and hitting him with hammers.
Begic, 32, who lived in the 4200 block of Miami Street, suffered
injuries to his head, abdomen, face and mouth. He died at St. Louis
University Hospital.
But don’t worry, the fact he was murdered in broad daylight by black and
hispanic teens doesn’t mean it was racially motivated or anything.
St. Louis police Chief Sam Dotson spoke with residents at the street
protest Sunday night. He said he was sorry about what happened and sought to
reassure people the killing did not appear motivated by race or ethnicity.
“There is no indication that the gentleman last night was targeted
because he was Bosnian,” Dotson said. “There’s no indication that they
knew each other.”
Meanwhile, racial agitator Barack Obama will be huddling with so-called “
civil rights leaders” at the White House today. We suspect Begic’s murder
will be a topic of discussion. |
