PHILADELPHIA — Five teenagers fatally beat a man on a subway platform after a friend dared them to hit someone, saying "next person we see we're going to hit," one of the defendants allegedly told police.

"We all didn't want to seem like no punk," Ameer Best, 17, told police in a written statement read at a preliminary hearing Wednesday for Best and four co-defendants.

Best and the other teens, Kinta Stanton, Arthur Alston, Rasheem Bell and Nashir Fisher, all 16, will be tried as adults on charges of third-degree murder and conspiracy for the March 26 beating, Municipal Court Judge James DeLeon ruled.

Therefore, since the perps are black, this is obviously NOT a hate crime

i was wondering how you know they are black... i was trying to find out and i must have missed that part... their speech led me to believe they were white... i don't know why, it just did... i guess it just didn't sound like black street lingo... maybe it's differentn in PA... thanks...

Philadelphia where responsible, honest citizens are not allowed to carry guns to defend themselves against wanton assault by pieces of s..t like Ameer and Rasheed, and their fellow pieces of s..t.

Let me say it for you categorically. They are subhuman savages. No problem.

We're supposed to ignore inconvenient stuff like this & instead focus on crimes of 50, 75, 100 years ago, and burn with guilt.

I know I'm making myself a social pariah & perhaps a bigot by openly saying so, but I don't feel the least bit guilty about what my forebears may or may not have done years ago... any longer. The way I see it, we're even.

If enough of us did just that perhaps every one of us will then be held to the same standards when it comes to treating each other decently.

I guess it's too much to expect white fury in response to racial brutalization by these “youths”.

I am beginning to wonder. Since this type of thing happens with regular occurrence. Have white people been browbeat so bad as to have no backbone anymore? Are the majority of white people willing to let themselves and their family be racial fodder & targets for fear of being called names?

You racists need to understand that this diversity is America’s greatest strength, perhaps even America’s only redeeming value. It has taken this nation from a backwards power that nobody was ever really proud of to its position now as a world leader in education, in entertainment, in size of our correctional institutions.

The cultural standards and behaviors that led these young hyphenated-Americans to beat a passerby to death on a whim are no less valid than your own. It’s the little differences like these make up the rich tapestry of a multicultural society.

If you can’t appreciate that tapestry, there must be something wrong with you. Like being close enough to see it.

No, the offical line will be: they are misunderstood youts. That they would never do such a thing. Of course the sane people know that these mutants should be punished to the fullest extent of the law and never see the light of day. Do I have hope that will happen? No, because the turn them loose-bruce system will systematically spit these mutants out on the streets again to start again their reign of terror on society. The other blame is to be pinned on the parents of these mutants, what kind of human beings are they to raise such mutants. God, help us all./Just Asking - seoul62.........

“charges of third-degree murder..”

They’ll be back on the street in 18 months. And fat welfare momma will scream that her good boys were abused in prison, file a $35 million lawsuit and win.

I’ve always thought that Goetz should have been released with no charges and given a medal on top of that.
