Maybe they were planning to put it up on youtube.

A seperate article said that another kid, (white), riding a skateboard nearby filmed the beating.

You know how this works...they won't make an appearance until the attackers are punished by the courts. That's when they'll show up.

As far as Norfolk and the whole Hampton Roads area. You could bomb that area and I would be happy as can be.

With a population of 1.8 million, and over 300,000 of those being military and family I think bombing the entire area is a little extreme. There are some bad parts of town but the area is comparable to Kansas City. We have 1.9 million in our metro and our crime is very comparable, (I argue this with my wife who I moved to KC from VA Beach).

That's like seeing a kid get beat up on Quindaro and saying that we should bomb all of KC.

That doesn't jive with my experiences at all. I lived in Newport News for about a year in 1998 and it was ass. The same with the other side of the bay. Maybe some places are nice but I never saw them.

Both the population and the crime rates are very comparable between KC and Hampton Roads. The difference is that KC is extremely segregated so it is easy to live in a bubble and pretend that the crime doesn't exist. Hampton Roads is very segregated so you have million dollar houses on Ocean View 2 miles down the road from $50k houses and weekly rental properties.

White flight is more dificult when there are only 3 main highways and you are surrounded by a Bay to your North and the Atlantic to your East.

White flight? What us white folk put on our sheets and do Superman impressions?

And if that's what moving away from high crime, low property value areas is called sign me up. Why would someone live in a place that's run down, crime ridden and poorly managed on purpose?

Let all the military families know it was coming. Then that area could get it's just reward.

This is quite pedestrian by comparison of some racial threads. Seriously.

Yeah, but there are still a few people who have yet to make an appearance in this thread.

Should these kids be charged with attempted murder and face up to 100 years in prison without parole?

They should be punished, but I hardly think this was attempted murder. That is way too extreme.
