Police say that brothers from the St. Louis area tried to attack four children and three adults on a Walmart store parking lot in Columbia, Mo., because they were black, according to the Columbia Missourian newspaper.

The two brothers — James Robert Pezold, 25, and his brother, Michael Garrett Pezold, 20 — have been charged in an attack that police said included the brothers trying to run over three adults and four children on Oct. 29. One gave a Chesterfield address, the other gave an O’Fallon, Mo., address.

The Pezolds briefly had been staying at the Paquin Tower apartments in Columbia.

The victims were black; the Pezolds are white.

The Columbia police gave the Missourian the following account:

The Pezolds went to Walmart to steal canned air to inhale and get high with, according to a probable cause statement. One of the brothers verbally assaulted the family and used racial slurs. Then the brothers allegedly tried to run the four children and three adults down in a pick up truck.

Wow. They sound like some real winners. Getting high on canned air? Whatever happened to beer or pot?

I think this is less about hate and more about two completely idiotic, scrambled brains on drugs scumbags that needed to be eliminated from the gene pool lest they procreate.

maybe they were “motivated” after listening to Glenn Beck or Rushie talk about what a “racist” Obama is and the implication that “others” are trying to take over the country.

Lunacy-of course drugs were most likely an integral part…but c’mon…you really think that the victims’ race had NOTHING to do with it…the drugs may have fueled it…but something was probably already lurking in their little black souls (no pun intended)to push them to this…find it very hard to believe that race was entirely coincidental but I’ll guess we may never know.

Sounds like Dumb and Dumber re-appeared. It’s not racial, it’s plain stupid. They were screwed up to the max. They probably didn’t know the difference in black and white at that point. Everything is racial when it is between black and white. That’s what racial is. Why is it that two blacks can call each other names that will land a white man in jail and nothing happens. Racial slurs should be racial slurs no matter what color mouth they are coming out of.

I’m glad nothing happened to the little ones or the other three adults. I think the Pezolds need to be charged with 7 counts of assault.

I have to agree with the others, they sound like real winners! High on canned air…sounds cool dude! Idiots.

It’s funny that racists like this are usually little scumbags who are a very poor representation of the human race. Toothless, backwards iditots yelling, “White power!”. Now that’s ironic.

The worst thing is that it makes all of us canned air huffers look like a-holes.

Back in the day I was known to drink a little too much beer occasionally and even get a little high. But no matter how messed up I was I didn’t attack anybody and I sure didn’t embark on racial tirades. Probably because it wasn’t in my heart. I don’t blame the drugs for their behavior. I blame them.
