“ pummeled, beaten, stomped on and stabbed by at least five people before the mob robbed him of his sneakers.”
Gee what kind of people would do that for a silly pair of shoes?
This one has me stumped.
If only there was some type of a pattern or constant variable to this sort of animalistic behavior.
“Bonfire” comes from bone fire. A burning of bones.🔥

I taught for years in an urban school district. One of my students was on the cross-country team. Good kid. He’d run a couple of miles each day, right after school. Well, one day he picked the wrong direction to run. A gang jumped him, roughed him up, and took his sneakers. And remember, those were his running shoes. Used and smelly.
Were the criminals ever apprehended? Of course not.
The guy was beaten up, but both of them got away without much damage.

“Gee what kind of people would do that for a silly pair of shoes?” Same kind of people who would just as soon do it for any other reason or no reason at at all. The kind of people who need to end up on Riker’s Island or maybe Gitmo.
The attackers were Hispanics.....
