Well, it's been 24 hours since the news broke.
I'm still of the mind that these 4 need to be taken out and shot.
This crime is beyond the pale.

okay, let's put this in perspective...
remember the two kids that were beaten in the church in NY awhile back... one ended up dying the other was hospitalized..
www.syracuse.com...
the longest sentence was 25 years.. and someone actually died in that one...
I don't think these kids are gonna get any life sentences out of this..
I will be very disappointed if they don't see some jail time for it though.

Yeah but lumenimagodei doesn't believe any of this happened.
I actually know of a scumbag who did something similar, he was a bully, a big lad and very tough, slapped a young lad who then tried to stand up for himself by hitting the bully back.
This bastard then beat the young lad, dragged him around the apartment bleeding and beaten with his own belt.
The cowards who were in that apartment did nothing because they were all scared of the bully.
Bully later kicked some poor guys teeth into his lungs, victim is now disabled and bully is doing the same now free from jail.
Incidentally this story is UK and all white on white, nothing gang related, just a nasty human being. This nasty piece of work has a brother, a year younger, both brought up the same, both parents working and looked after the kids....
One is an evil piece of #, the other isn't.
Sometimes, scum happens.
My point is, you cannot turn your back on it, there is no silver bullet, jail does not cure certain crimes.
Malum in se (plural mala in se) is a Latin phrase meaning wrong or evil in itself. The phrase is used to refer to conduct assessed as sinful or inherently wrong by nature, independent of regulations governing the conduct. It is distinguished from malum prohibitum, which is wrong only because it is prohibited.
For example, most human beings believe that murder, rape, and theft are wrong, regardless of whether a law governs such conduct or where the conduct occurs, and is thus recognizably malum in se. In contrast, malum prohibitum crimes are criminal not because they are inherently bad, but because the act is prohibited by the law of the state. For example, law in the United States require drivers to drive on the right side of the road. This is not because driving on the left side of a road is considered immoral, but because consistent rules promote safety and order on the roads.
This concept was used to develop the various common law offences

As disgusting and as horrific as this crime was, the reactions by some of the posters in this thread are disturbing.
- it's Obama's fault
- it's Al Sharpton's fault
- it's BLM's fault
- it's black culture's fault
- it's CNN's fault
Then you've got a bunch of yahoos yammering uselessly about race wars with ridiculous "they don't want none of me" comments and the ever popular "if this had been a black person the whole world would be on fire!!" and "this happens to white people every day!" bulls#.
We're a country of 330 million people. Some of those people are horrible human beings who do terrible things to other people. And let's get real here folks, there have always been depraved monsters in the world who will do savage, brutal, sadistic s# and laugh while doing it.
Who was to blame when Matthew Shepard was tied to a fence post and tortured for being gay? "Straight culture?"
Who was to blame for white high school football player, John R.K. Howard and two of his friends sexually assaulting a mentally disabled black teammate with a coat hanger while calling him a "n-----" and "chicken-eater" and singing songs about the Klan?
How many of you want to see those kids drawn and quartered? Apparently prison was too good for them because Howard was given a plea deal for 2-3 years of probation and 300 hours of community service two weeks ago.
Who was to blame for that? Fox News? The Tea Party? Alt-Right groups? Donald Trump? White culture? Some of you who don't miss an opportunity to stir up racial animosity? Where were the race pimping reactionaries for that story? I found one thread on ATS with a whole 8 flags and 2 pages of comments. Nobody saying anything even remotely like the garbage they've been posting in
Get a grip. Don't join in the hysteria.

Suspects in Facebook ‘Torture’ Video Defended by News Commentators
Who the # would defend these people? Have you EVER seen mainstream news anchors defend the actions of Dylan Roof or anyone perpetrating hate crimes against blacks?
This is unprecedented... completely insane hypocrisy.

Say what you will about the silly SJWs featured in YouTube videos that make such popular threads on ATS but they ain't got nothing on some of the reactionary posters in this thread when it comes to self-righteous indignation and repulsive prattle.
The people responsible for this horrific crime are the ones in custody. They will be prosecuted and they will be punished — and you can bet it won't be a couple years of probation and 300 hours of community service.
Violent crime is the lowest it has been in generations nationwide. Even in Chicago, which we all know has seen a drastic uptick in homicides in the last few years, has a rate that is lower than it was in the late 80's - early 90's.
