See my post 118. I said _almost_ the same, but left the important word out.
I'm willing to reckon that - back in olden days - when the "mob" acted in such a manner, it was usually with good reason and just cause.
And such events tended to scare the dregs of society badly enough, that only the most vile would still act upon their drives and impulses. For that reason, "mob action" served its purposes. We may be reaching a point where the system is so contorted through political correctness, so "afraid to do justice", that mob action may become the only way to GET justice. Sad to say....
I predict the 16-year-old involved will be out of prison in less that 15 years, if he even spends that long there....

I used that word because I'm totally lacking in confidence that the government will make the punishment fit the crime. Blacks make up about 25% of the populations but commit about 66% of the crimes, so for some reason this prompts proecutors judges and above all juries to go easy on them (remember OJ). 99% of the people posting on thei thread think that these scumbags deserve the death penalty, but will they get it? The same 99% suspect that they'll be out on parole sooner or later to pcik up theri criminal careers where they left off. That's why I mentioned the mob rule word.
