The US needs stronger hammer regulations.

Especially the black assault hammers.

I hope the Democrats who committed the crime didn’t have their civil rights violated.

There is absolutely no reason that a person needs a hammer like this outside of the battlefield.

Not sure, news said the victim knew the kids who did it. The kids may have just got angry or maybe the knockout game? Sounds stupid to try it on someone you know and that can identify you to the police. Then again kids today put their own crimes on facebook.

“Random” hammer attacks have been going on for some time. Hammers are used on white males. White females get a single knife thrust on a crowded sidewalk. Knifings mirror those employed by Mohammedans on Jews in Jerusalem (Old City). Victim receives a quick, solitary stab wound while walking through a crowded passageway. “Just another face in the crowd” drops his knife and walks on. Nobody sees a thing.

Their punishment should be that the victim gets to roll a die and that’s the number of hammer strikes he gets to return to the 5 perps.

And since there were 5 “yutes” involved I think we can say this fits an increasingly common pattern.
