A 33-year-old father who took his kids to the Denver Skatepark this week was beaten by more than two dozen teens and young men. The father, who is recovering, received a head injury, fractured back vertebrae and a broken elbow, he said. The Post is identifying the man only by his first name — Dave — because he's a victim and Denver police confirmed that his assailants have not been arrested.

The attack happened about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at the park, 2205 19th St., on the edge of downtown Denver near Coors Field.

Dave, a machinist who lives in Arvada, said he took his children — two boys, both 13, and a daughter, 11 — to the park for a night of fun. They got there about 7:45 and skated for a while. After about 30 minutes Dave watched as a group chased an individual across the park. As a pursuer ran by, Dave asked: "What's going on?"

The man turned to Dave, cursed at him, and told him to leave. The words had just passed from the man's mouth when Dave was slammed with a skateboard from behind, he said. "I guess just me asking was enough for them to clock me," Dave said.

Immediately, others joined in and started beating Dave with skateboards. A friend of Dave's who was there tried to help him, and he also was attacked. The friend's injuries were not as serious.

I think it's a good thing I don't own a gun. If I did, there'd be a lot of dead people.

Skater thugs in Denver?

The football team better watch their backs.

Kids really have no respect. Thug life for everyone. This planet is ****ed.

Something has to change. People have to raise their vibration from these lower animalistic states.

When your civilization doesn't act civilized, what do you think the end result will be for that civilization?

It's not like this is a decay of society sort of thing. It's always been this way.

Bullshit; grace, civility, and respect are not things we are born with, you either learn them from family or from the community. The number of thugs that we haven't taught to be respectful in some fashion has grown exponentially over the last decade.

when the parents failed, the community used to get involved, church, teachers at school, cops, neighbors. Now days though, we've instead taught the rest of society to mind their own business and with it, too many parents have taught their kids they "deserve the world" on a platter instead of earning it.

It is exactly like a decay of society sort of thing.

what would we be saying if a cop was trying to control the situation and the kids with skate boards got tazed before they could beat anyone on the back of the head with their skateboards?
