Two employees of a North Shore assisted living center were booked with cruelty to the infirmed after they "cheered on" one resident as he beat up another, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office reported Wednesday (Aug. 1).

Latricia Johnson, 20, of Ponchatoula, and Tykeshia Berry, 30, of Hammond, were also booked into the parish jail with being a principal party to an aggravated second-degree battery and criminal conspiracy. The two suspects neglected to obtain medical treatment for the 22-year-old victim of the beating, who sustained serious injuries to his face and leg, the Sheriff's Office reported in a news release.

I've known people with handicapped kids who would worry about what would happen when they could no longer care for their children. It's no secret how bad these places can be.

I'm not a legal beagle so I don't know what slew of charges these two could possible get.

FIRST RULE OF FIGHT CLUB...

(I’m not a fan of the kind of violence I figured was in it)

[TADSLOS]

Rest assured wagering was involved.

Scum.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

With names like Latricia and Tykeshia do we even need a pciture? Well what the heck …

[PAR35]

Latricia, and Tykeshia

Well, the names don't tell us anything, do they.

Katrina probably flushed them out of New Orleans and they ended up north of the lake.

[Hildy]

It’s a great movie.

[moovova]

It’s a weird movie.

Plenty of blackamoors in Tangahaphoa Parish just as deprave as any in NOLA.

I did not see it until years after it’s release but it was better than I expected. Weird, strange and well acted and put together.

[BBell]

It’s the kind of movie that if don’t know anything about it, like I didn’t, it’s a better movie than if you did.

They outlawed cock fighting. I think La. was the last state to do so.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

It is a vision of a real hell - to be elderly, disabled, dependent on facility staff, and then to have folks like that taking “care” of you.

Seem to recall hearing that Joseph Kennedy had his daughter Rosemary fixed before institutionalizing her?

[Terry Mross]

Animals.

I liked Fight Club. At its core, it’s about what happens when men get so alienated from a society which does nothing for them, that they decide to bring it all down.

[Deplorable American1776]

Without looking, I’m guessing Latricia and Tykeshia are black ...

[BBell]

black Irish I think

Latricia Johnson, 20, of Ponchatoula, and Tykeshia Berry, 30,

And we have yet another case of a certain type of name.....But, alas, I guess it's still racist to point out how a certain subset seems to be disproportionately represented in so many cases of violence.....
