"UPDATE - Teens face charges in mob beating
Sep 25, 2007 03:36 PM CDT
Investigators say that by the end of the day they will have secured petitions against 5 teens in connection with a mob assault of a 13-year-old victim on Saturday.
Suspects range in age from 13-16. All of the teens are charged with Assault by Mob, a class one misdemeanor. They each face no more than 12 months in jail and a fine of not more than $2,500.
Investigators believe the altercation between 5 black teens and one white teen was not race related. They also believe that an earlier altercation escalated into an assault caught on video tape. They further determine that the incident was not gang-related.
Assault by Mob is a serious offense and all teens charged will have to answer for their action in a court of law."
Funny if a judge would rule that each of the perps when convicted would be sentenced to the same ordeal.
I don't give a shit if the kid beaten was white or black, but I give a shit as to that it happens. Where are the parents? No where to be found.
