Cincinnati man who lost eye in unsolved random beating says crime 'out of control' after brutal viral assault​

After a viral public beatdown in downtown Cincinnati, another resident and victim of a heinous violent crime is speaking out about his experience with roving mobs in the city.

On Sept. 23, 2023, Chris Lewis, then 39, was walking home late at night from a Cincinnati Reds game when he was randomly jumped by three juveniles.

"They just immediately sucker-punched me in the eye," Lewis told Fox News Digital in an interview Monday. "And then, right as soon as that happened, I knew that I was in trouble."

Over a year-and-half period, Lewis underwent six surgeries to try to correct his vision. None of them fixed the issue, and he ultimately lost his eye. He now wears a prosthetic.

"So, after they hit me, I knew immediately my eye was kind of exposed," he said. "I sort of covered my face and sat down on the ground, and I was trying to explain to them that they had just caused a serious injury. And they were kicking me the whole time and sort of like ignoring sort of what I was trying to describe to them."

The teens robbed Lewis of his earbuds and phone and ran away into the night.

"It's significantly reduced my quality of life," he told Fox News Digital. "Like, I have trouble driving, confidence is kind of, you know, taking a hit. It's really, like, I view my life as the before and after of this event because it's so dramatically impacted just my quality of life, my relationships, just all aspects of it have kind of been hampered by that evening."

None of the juveniles involved in the attack have been arrested, and Lewis said the city's resources are stretched to the limit.

"We've been having a lot of issues with juveniles, and I think they're kind of like overexerted trying to keep them in line, and so they did not … spend a lot of resources investigating my crime," he said. "And their attitude was sort of like, ā€˜This is happening all the time.’ They can't really get it under control."

He said the July 26 brawl in Cincinnati brought back difficult memories, though, in his case, the attack was unprovoked. He is disappointed and frustrated with the city's inability to find solutions to violent crime issues, calling the efforts "ineffective" and adding that he resents the political polarization of the crime issue.

"I think that everyone deserves to feel safe and secure in their community, and so we should be trying to work together to identify and implement solutions," he said. "So, I got a little frustrated by some of the, like, ingrained, entrenched kind of arguments that were occurring just because I want to find solutions and just sort of prevent this from happening to anyone else.

Hopefully everyone can stay of the loony land Cincinnati. land of Left-wing anarchy and violence.

And no, they don't want you having a gun so you can protect yourself either.
 
Maybe the GOP should start a gun finance policy to help citizens afford fire arms if they live in one of the Blue city death traps where they either hate police or can't afford them

After all, the government pays for every other right, so why not gun welfare programs?

And if you are forced to pull a gun, be sure and shoot to kill or a Left-wing loon Soros judge will just let them back on the streets to do it all over again.

This will stop with the formation of a strong vigilante militia.

Almost makes ya want to roam the streets with a.machinepistol.or uzi
 
If you voted for Democrats and you live in a city, you voted for this.
Republican cities are just as bad or worse. Why do Republicans make these kinds of claims when Republican presidents have fucked up the entire country?
 
Whites are the problem in that city.
Funny. I’ll bet white parts of the hood are clean and housings have real value. I can’t say the same for black parts of the hood.

Says the guy who supports shit brain Biden who refused to defend the law he sworn to defend.

After a viral public beatdown in downtown Cincinnati, another resident and victim of a heinous violent crime is speaking out about his experience with roving mobs in the city.

Cleveland even far worse !!!

Entire MW cities are destroyed by subhumans
 
If you voted for Democrats and you live in a city, you voted for this.
Democrats dominate every major city in the US

And there is some method to the madness for this because cities require a great deal of infrastructure to be able to exist, i.e., lots of dependence on the government.

It is one of the reasons that Europe is so left wing, which is most people live in major cities. I think it is another reason the DNC is trying to implement policy to try and drive more people in to major cities in the US.

Interestingly enough, Thomas Jefferson wrote extensively about the problems major cities create within a nation, and cautioned against them.


Thomas Jefferson, it is well known to historians, had marked anticity sentiments. ā€œI am not a friend to placing growing men in populous cities,ā€ writes Jefferson to Dr. Caspar Wistar (21 June 1807), ā€œbecause they acquire there habits; partialities which do not contribute to the happiness of their after life.ā€ Years earlier (23 Sept. 1800), he says to Dr. Benjamin Rush: ā€œI view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts, but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere, and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue & freedom, would be my choice.ā€ To David Williams (14 Nov. 1803), he states that cities encourage too many citizens to try to live by their heads, and not their hands—that is, they discourage husbandry and self-sufficiency—and that is for Jefferson an impossible state of affairs for human happiness. They also bode ill for any who have a ā€œturn for dissipation.ā€ So great was his enmity of cities that in the 1800 letter to Rush he states that the yellow-fever epidemic that hit Philadelphia and wiped out a large number of its citizens might just be Providence’s way of discouraging ā€œthe growth of great cities in our nation.ā€

Cities for Jefferson marked a sort of natural decay—a slip away from the bucolic, agrarian ideal that Jefferson consistently championed, though he made certain concessions concerning the need of some manufacture later in life. In cities, that degree of freedom that gives citizens ā€œa wholesome control over their public affairsā€ is absent. What is missing, he tells John Adams (28 Oct 1813), is ownership and care of land, which conduces to ā€œlaw and order.ā€ Owning land, citizens come to know its true value—the yield of arable land is cornucopian—and will wish to defend it in times of intra- or international strife. The mobs in cities—and a mob is a mere instrument of those with rank and birth—wallow in ignorance, poverty, and vice, and thus are incapable of rational activity. ā€œThe mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body,ā€ writes Jefferson in Query XIX of his Notes on the State of Virginia in 1787. To James Madison in the same year (Dec. 20), he writes: ā€œI think we shall be [virtuous], as long as agriculture is our principal object, which will be the case, while there remain vacant lands in any part of America. When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become corrupt as in Europe, and go to eating one another as they do there.ā€

Jefferson’s anticity arguments are several, but one stands out. Cities offer an unnatural overcrowding of citizens, and where there is overcrowding and land is wanting, the spirit of commerce and attention to making money burke the desires for liberty and for living off the land. In Query XVII of his Notes on the State of Virginia, Jefferson assumes an atypical somber tone. ā€œFrom the conclusion of this war we shall be going down hill.ā€ The people and their rights will be forgotten. ā€œThey will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights.ā€

Are Jefferson’s views on the evils of urban living applicable today?

To answer that question, ethologist John Calhoun conducted research first on rats and then on mice from 1947 to 1972. What Calhoun did, in effect, was to create in several experiments what was in effect a rodent utopia. The animals were given a large living space and an abundancy of food and water, were free of predators, and kept in a climate-conditioned milieu, which was kept clean to discourage disease. In perhaps the most famous experiment, ā€œUniverse 25,ā€ in a paper published in 1973 and titled ā€œDeath Squared: The Explosive Growth and Demise of a Mouse Population,ā€ Calhoun constructed a large room, 2.7 meters square, with four separate, but interconnected pens. The mice had 256 apartments for living, each fitting 15 mice, 16 tunnels that led to nourishment, and many access ramps throughout their ā€œuniverse.ā€

Beginning with four pairs of mice, Calhoun saw first an adjustment phase of roughly 104 days. After adjustment, there was an ā€œexploit period,ā€ in which the population of mice doubled every 55 days till the population grew to 620. Though the living space could accommodate some 3,000 mice, it soon became cramped, because of overcrowding in certain places of the universe, where food was present, and because of the neglect of other spaces. Yet as eating had become social, the rate of birth soon plunged to some one-third of what it used to be. Of the newly born mice, many were showing signs of social ineptitude.

At around the 315th day, social ineptitude among many male mice became prominent. Without places to emigrate, the socially inept mice no longer protected their spaces or females, were outcast from all groups, and merely tended to wander in the center of the universe to eat, fight among themselves for no obvious reason, and mount other mice, gender being irrelevant. Thus, they exhibited hyper-violence and hyper-sexuality. Female mice, without the protection of males, quickly became aggressive, overly so, in response to lack of male protection, and males’ abandonment of their social functions. They began to cast out their young before fully weaned, to ignore their young, and even to attack or kill their young. Infant mortality rate in pockets of the universe became as high as 90 percent. The population doubling every 55 days slowed to doubling every 145 days.

By the 560th day, there was no discernible population increase and a ā€œdeath phaseā€ began by the 600th day. Violent, hypersexual displays and lack of social roles brought about a new generation of mice without interest in normal social rodent behaviors—courting, mating, protecting, fighting, and rearing young. Females now showed no interest in reproducing. The indifferent males Calhoun called ā€œbeautiful ones,ā€ as they would spend all their time in asocial activities, such as eating, sleeping, and grooming. They were sexually inactive and nonviolent, hence the lack of bodily scars. This phase Calhoun dubbed ā€œfirst death.ā€ The mice, it seems, were merely biding their time till their actual, ā€œsecond deathā€ā€”a bromidic existence.

By day 920, the population peaked at 2,200 mice. With that peak and a population of mostly uncaring, asocial mice, there began a speedy ā€œbehavioral sink,ā€ a rapid decline in population that would very quickly lead to extinction.

Calhoun sums: ā€œFor an animals so simple as a mouse, the most complex behaviours involve the interrelated set of courtship, maternal care, territorial defence and hierarchical intragroup and intergroup social organization. When behaviours related to these functions fail to mature, there is no development of social organization and no reproduction,ā€ hence quick extinction.

Those results, thought Calhoun, are equally applicable to humans. ā€œIf opportunities for role fulfilment fall far short of the demand by those capable of fulfilling roles, and having expectancies to do so, only violence and disruption of social organization can follow. Individuals born under these circumstances will be so out of touch with reality as to be incapable even of alienation. The most complex behaviours will become fragmented. Acquisition, creation and utilization of ideas appropriate for life in a post-industrial cultural-conceptual-technological society will have been blocked. Just as biological generativity in the mouse involves this species’ most complex behaviours, so does ideational generativity for man. Loss of these respective complex behaviours means death of the species.ā€

Calhoun did not see his studies boding inevitable extinction for humans with increases in population. The rodent behavior was merely a stark warning of a possible, if not probable, future.

Calhoun’s study is more ominous that Malthus’ observations of populational increase and availability of food. Whereas Malthus warned that populational growth outstripped the capacity for humans to provide food for themselves, hence a keen competition for available food and a massive dying off of humans, Calhoun’s studies suggest strongly that humans, like rodents, were hard-wired for social activities on account of the need to survive, and in a safe and healthy milieu in which there were no threats to survival, social roles would soon be abandoned, to the detriment of the animals. In sum, social apathy invariably leads to extinction.

Calhoun’s experiments also strongly suggest that social animals are biologically social—that failure to nurture social instincts early in life lead to their extinction. Cramped spaces might be much of the causal picture.

Was Jefferson in his anticity sentiments so far away from Calhoun? His comments in Query XVII point to indifference of rights in the sole pursuit of making money, once rights are secured. Yet Jefferson was consistently clear that political offices corrupt men and so citizens must always fight for their own rights through recurrent constitutional renewal with each generation, through carefully overseeing elected officials, and through fullest activity in political affairs. Guaranteed the rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, they also have the right to revolution, when government consistently abuses its power and trumps the rights of citizens. Moreover, Jefferson always at least theoretically championed demassified government to prevent the corruptive effects of urban living, conducive of abusive, centralized government.


It might be said we, without clear socially defined roles or duties, live today in a sort of Universe 25, perhaps just prior to Calhoun’s behavioral-sink phase. We are taught to pursue what we want to pursue, without any strong senses of social responsibilities and of other-concern. The elderly, many of whom are cast off in assisted-living facilities, are frustrated and neglected. The working class, though politically polarized on issues of national significance, is much indifferent to local politics—there is no time for it—and busying itself in Jefferson’s prophetic words ā€œin the sole faculty of making money.ā€ The youths of adult age, characterized by bromidic indifference, a sort of learned helplessness, might reasonable be fitted into what is the beginning of Calhoun’s death phase. Are we too leaning toward extinction?
