I don't give a shit if you are rich or poor, black, white or fucking purple. You know what you are doing is fucking wrong!Gang-rape at Dunbar Village
Defense attorneys are blaming the government's neglect of the environment these boys grew up in. The poverty and crime they live with and the media's glorification of violence. That might fly if they were just breaking in and robbing, but they raped and tortured this woman and her son for hours.
Perhaps it is society's pension for explaining away the actions of our youths. Our own Young Offenders Act here in Canada as much says if you are under 17 you can pretty much get away with anything. Drug dealers recruit 12 year olds because they know all they will get is a slap on the wrist. The criminal minds of our society have embraced the laws, they know how to get around them. Every day we hear of people getting acquitted for horrendous deeds because they were 'abused' as a child or grew up in a bad part of town.
Give me a fucking break!
You do not have to be a Rhodes scholar to know that raping and torturing is wrong. The bleeding heart liberals are not doing the world any favors by explaining this shit away. People have to get back to basics. If you do something wrong, you go to jail. I am sure in the back of these kids minds they were thinking they could get away with it. And why not? That is what the media and the legal system is telling them on a daily basis. That is what their own experience is telling them, the assholes who hurt them got away scott free.It's a catch 22. You have people that had to endure a lot of shit when they were younger, sexual and physical abuse and they turn into monsters when they are older. But if those abusers had been punished in the first place...?
So we have to start now, it will be tough but we have to before its too late. Before the criminals outnumber the rest of us. There has to be a clear message. You will be punished. Its easy to feel sorry for these kids and the raw deal life has given them, but where does it stop?
When do you stop making excuses?

That IS frustrating! Our legal system in the States isn't much better.
I don't even know where to begin to comment on this. After I read the story I was disgusted.(this is one of the reasons I tend to stay away from news media)
One of the problems is that even when punishment is handed out for a serious crime, the sentence is so damn lenient, that it does absolutely nothing to prevent the same crime from happening again and again. All one has to do is take a look at the sentences handed down to child molestors to know there is something very wrong with the justice system.
