Thugs apologize after beating wrong man

Longmont police are asking help in finding two men who were involved in a home invasion where the resident was assaulted with a baseball bat. To make things worse, the attackers then apologized to the victim saying they had the wrong house.

Longmont police Detective Bryan Franke reported today that the break-in took place around 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 18 in northeast Longmont.

He said the man heard a prowler enter his home and went to confront him. The burglar, who is white, hit the resident, who is also white, once with a baseball bat, then acted very surprised and apologized, saying he must be at the wrong house because he was looking for a black man.

The resident chased the attacker out the front door of the home where a struggle ensued. A black man got out of a car and held up what appeared to be a handgun, said they were at the wrong house and told the resident to let the other man go.

The victim fled into his home and called 911.
I guess they teach their gang-bangers manners in Longmont.

#3  Hell, I bet they were bail bondsmen and not burglars.
