HORRIFIC: Photos Released Of Cincinnati Mob Victim, 3 People Arrested So Far

We have an update on the horrific beating of two white people by a mob of black thugs in Cincinnati over the weekend.

It has been revealed that the woman victim, named Holly, is Russian and flew back home the day after the attack.

Sen. Bernie Moreno got her permission to release photos of her injuries.

Take a look (WARNING: GRAPHIC):

It deserves political leadership that matches the greatness of its citizens.@AftabPureval issues a late/weak statement, Police Chief blames social media (not the lack of almost 200 officers), Prosecutor @ConniePillich lets off… pic.twitter.com/6BzfO48m4G

@AftabPureval issues a late/weak statement, Police Chief blames social media (not the lack of almost 200 officers), Prosecutor @ConniePillich

lets off lowlifes with $400 bail,

@RepGregLandsman silent & posting about Ukraine, City Council member blames the victim.

This is Holly. She wanted to have a nice evening out with friends. Instead, she got this. Holly gave me permission to release the photos so that others will never suffer what she did.

We need and deserve change.

Here’s a closer look at the horrific injuries Holly suffered:

Absolutely horrible.

The only good thing is that she did not suffer even worse injuries from having her head slammed into concrete.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the viral video of the brutal attack:

What’s even worse than the attack and injuries Holly and the other victim had to endure is how they are being treated by local and state leaders.

Vivek Ramaswamy is the only politician to have reached out to Holly.

Here’s what he had to say about her:

I spoke to Holly earlier today (the woman tragically assaulted in Cincinnati this weekend). She’s a single working mom who went to a friend’s birthday party. It’s unconscionable that there were no police present in that area of Cincinnati on a Friday night, or even an ambulance… pic.twitter.com/yTiJOL3Eh0

I spoke to Holly earlier today (the woman tragically assaulted in Cincinnati this weekend). She’s a single working mom who went to a friend’s birthday party. It’s unconscionable that there were no police present in that area of Cincinnati on a Friday night, or even an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Hard-working Americans shouldn’t have to worry for their safety when they have a good time in our cities. Holly said not a single local or state official had yet reached out as of earlier this afternoon, other than one police detective. Leftists like to lecture about ‘systemic injustice’ while thugs turn our turn cities into war zones. I’m done with their excuses. As governor, I’ll make sure they’re behind bars, not running wild. Our cops will have the green light to restore order—no apologies. Holly appreciates the kind words and prayers from patriots across the country, and hopes that the publicity around her story ensures that local & state leaders clean up our failing cities. We hope to visit Holly soon as she recovers.

Not only are many politicians ignoring the attack, but many have gone as far as to blame the victims.

That includes Cincinnati Councilwoman Victoria Parks, who said that Holly and the man “begged for that beat down.”

Cincinnati Councilwoman Victoria Parks must resign immediately! Defending violent criminals who viciously beat innocent people is disgusting.

Her words “They begged for that beat down!” are outrageous.

Prosecutors must charge the attackers with a hate crime. We must… pic.twitter.com/sNv8ecPyNG

Disgusting.

She should be removed immediately.

So far, three of the animals who participated in the attack have been arrested, and police are actively seeking two more.

Here are there mugshots:

Fox 19 has more details on the suspects and the charges they are facing:

The three suspects arrested and charged for their alleged involvement in a downtown Cincinnati beating made their first court appearance Wednesday morning.

Each suspect is facing different bonds in Hamilton County Municipal Court, but two of them face the same charges:

• Montianez Merriweather, 34: $500,000
  • One count each of felonious assault, assault and aggravated rioting.
  • Arrested on a warrant.
• DeKyra Vernon, 24: $200,000
  • One count each of felonious assault, assault and aggravated rioting.
  • Arrested on a warrant.
• Jermaine Matthews, 39: $100,000
  • One count each of aggravated rioting and assault.
  • Voluntarily turned himself in.

During their arraignments, Merriweather and Matthews were named by prosecutors as two suspects accused of coordinating the brawl that took place on Elm and Fourth streets July 27.

“Ultimately, we do have on video Mr. Merriweather walking up to co-defendant. He whispers something to him then walks back behind the victim,” a Cincinnati police detective testified.

The detective described their movements as “an ambush” or a “set up in a certain way.”

“They chase him and get him on the ground where they begin to punch and kick him on the ground. There’s a disengage. Merriweather goes after another gentleman behind another car and then he walks to the side and goes to the sidewalk while there’s a third assault occurring in the middle of the roadway,” explained the detective.

“As to Merriweather’s involvement in this, we believe he coordinated this with Mr. Matthews. He walked up to him on the video, whispered something to him and then strategically placed himself behind the victim as the assault began.”
