Hammer-wielding thugs attack two men just blocks apart in Harlem: cops

[TheRifleman]

Two men were attacked blocks apart in Harlem early yesterday by a hammer-wielding gang of thugs, police sources said.

The first victim of the seemingly random violence, Timmie Sampson, 31, was hit in the head with a hammer outside 1370 Fifth Ave., at East 115th Street, at about 12:45 a.m.
Sources said he was set upon by a gang of five or six black males wearing white T-shirts, and that at least one of the goons struck him over the head with a hammer.
Sampson’s girlfriend was with him at the time and took off her shirt to help stem the bleeding, sources said. She then put him in a cab, and he was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, in stable condition, a neighborhood source said.

Good thing he didn't have a weapon to protect himself...if he had shot these black youths he would be labeled a racist...they only wanted to ask him for a construction job because as a black kid in America that is the only job allowed by law because of slavery. They were just innocent 'kids'
