Good morning Rich,
I had hesitated making this known because I always hope these are isolated incidents.  But it seems such a pattern now and we all must be aware and speak up when possible. 
Last week, 3:00pm, I was driving up Milita toward my house.  As I pulled up I heard screaming and a commotion around corner on Loma Vista. I turned the corner and observed 5 black females, assaulting 2 much smaller Filipino girls.  When they saw me they stopped and walked right toward me.  I admit I was afraid but I pulled down to the 2 girls and asked if they wanted to get in my car.   They did and were crying and shaking and asked to go back to the school.  They were 7th graders at Vjo Middle and the 5 other girls were from the high school. The older girls had jumped them and were trying to take their purses and cell phones.  When I dropped them off I called VPD and described what happened. As I went up Nebraska back to my home I came face to face with the 5 girls again,  They tried to hide their faces but were walking back toward school, not at all concerned.  I went around the block to watch for the police and as I came up Illinois, I met them again!  I called VPD again, described new location, and I was told officers were on their way. 
I had to be at work so I did leave, not sure what happened after that. 
I am shocked that this would take place in broad daylight, in our neighborhood, with witnesses and without any fear of consequences.  Maybe I should have done more but I must say I was very shaken.
Just wanted to share...any suggestions what else I might have done.
