What a ridiculous statement... children are charged as adults with regularity in heinous offenses. Thank goodness such offenses are not necessarily regular

umm.. the first decision will be weather they should be considered minors or adults..
I think they will be considered minors, at least I am kind of hoping they will be...
that will determine what process is taken thereafter. if they are minors, I think, more than likely social service and family courts will be involved. but I could be wrong.
they are a whole different bird than criminal courts.

even if there was a little malice aforethought...
the oldest is 14 years old according to the story.
who knows what these kid's parents were like, maybe they were far, far, far alt right white separatists with enough explosives and weaponry in their basements to wage a civil war. who knows.... but shouldn't we find out what kind of influence they were under before we just throw them away? maybe with a different home life and some counseling, or even placing them in a juvenile detention center for awhile, they are redeemable...
but, if you throw these kids in an adult prison, you might as well give up on them because they will probably come out far worse than they went in.

I'm reacting from the point of view that this rapper is an idiot and is only perpetuating racism and racial issues.
This is nothing more than liberals pushing their agenda that it's ok to harm or kill white people. I hope this rapper faces dire consequences for this video.
These celebrities are doing nothing to unite us. They are there to rip us farther apart.

8-year-old biracial boy was hung from rope by N.H. teenagers because of his race, family says
It was around 5 p.m. on a Monday in late August, and an 8-year-old boy, like so many others that summer evening, was playing in a back yard. The others he was with had a few years on him — some were as old as 14 — and he had no reason to suspect that the picnic table or tire swing nearby would become tools for what his family alleges was a racially motivated near-hanging. That night in Claremont, N.H., took a dark turn, the boy’s family claims, when the teens started taunting the boy with racial epithets and throwing sticks and rocks at his legs. Family accounts of the incident reported by the Valley News allege the teens stood on top of the picnic table and grabbed a rope attached to a tire swing.
Now that s disgusting and was an actual hanging not a depiction by an actor. Also notice the terminology used when describing these boys..
An 8-year-old biracial boy's family claims a group of white teens attempted to hang him
Claremont authorities have said they are investigating the attack but did not comment on specific details of the case because it involves juveniles. "These people need to be protected," Claremont Police Chief Mark Chase said of the teenagers accused of hanging the boy. "Mistakes they make as a young child should not have to follow them for the rest of their life."
yet when conservative sites or police themselves describe young black teenagers, it is either thugs, menacing, young adult...etc.
Does anyone else see the double standard here? Also if using a child as a prop in a hanging was so awful...where are the outcries when it actually happened to one..all I see and here from that side is tumbleweeds rolling by and crickets. You know the side that is in no way connected or has ideals like the kkk...etc. Apparently this wasn't newsworthy to them because the only ones who ever bring this type of story up are people from the left. Show one thread where the right leaning members have brought up issues like this.
What I find interesting is that the OP is assuming the story is A) correct as it stand from no first hand account B) that the boy was hung by white kids, and C) that the thought has never crossed anyone's post in here that this biracial kid and the statements made could easily apply to blacks hating on a biracial kid as happens a lot within the black community towards lighter skinned blacks or biracial blacks.
There isn't anything that says the teens were white, so why jump to this conclusion?

I'm surprised by your outlook and lesser faire attitude this time...
oh no wait. no I'm not. I'll wait for the next thread when a black kids says something dumb and you ask for the chair.
The boy’s grandmother, Lorrie Slattery, told Valley News, a New Hampshire newspaper, that he and others were playing in a yard in their neighborhood when the teenagers, who are white, started calling the boy racial epithets and throwing sticks and rocks at his legs.
