Victim attempted to stop men from beating turtle.

"They started hitting the back of my head and started punching me. I was able to fend off a little bit but I mean three of them, got the better of me," he said.

Blough told them he did not want to fight, one of the attackers said “I don’t give a f—and I don’t care if I go to jail,” according to the arrest report.

The suspects continued to beat Blough until neighbors came out and the suspects ran away.

Thank you Mr. Blough for your service to your country, for your kindness to a harmless turtle and for getting 3 thugs off the street for a little while.

Hopefully the turtle was an endangered species and will generate some additional serious charges, although felony battery charges should be a good start for prosecutors.

From the article: “All three men are charged with aggravated battery and animal cruelty. News 6 is not identifying the 16-year-old.”

The description of the attackers is misleading, it referred to several times as men which clearly they were not, what they were was riggers, no, chiggers, no, diggers, no...........but what they are does rhyme with those words. People like this have no place in our society and should be euthanised for the betterment of the world.

I had to smile at that post.
Political Correctness must be on the wane and fading from even FR.

A few years ago I was suspended for three weeks and threatened with Forum Capital Punishment for a much milder version of that post...

YES!
That about covers it!
For now.

Most likely the young thugs will become older and more dangerous.

People aren’t all the same. And that includes groups of people like African Americans or Caucasians. We are all different from the very beginning and this is the problem. Economics is not the answer to everything. Some people will not respond to a great upbringing with all the advantages. And some people will thrive with an upbringing that appears to have the world stacked against them.

Nurture vs. Nature weighs heavily in favor of Nature. Its hard for someone who can’t sit in a classroom, does not have the intelligence to write or pass a test, to fill out forms. So these people won’t get jobs. They won’t get insurance. They won’t own a car and many won’t get a drivers license. They have all the wants and desires for stuff, food, sex as everyone else. But they have little legal means to get it. They hang at their girlfriends, mothers, sisters place. And they are bored.

We have three large groups of these people. Many are black males. Some are white (really more are white in actual size but by percentage its far fewer). Some have some form of depression. Some just don’t have the mental capacity to live in society (or stay living in society), and the last group of people are addicts of one form or another. Its really that last one that you could say is Nurture. The other two are Natures problem.

You think you are being clever but you aren’t. You are being obnoxious and offensive. Conservatives don’t use that kind of language

No race doesn’t matter. You described someone who was raised to not value life that is not a racial issue that is a sign of spiritual bankruptcy

Conservatives don’t use that kind of degrading language. It is not funny or thoughtful it is just plain rude. It is the type of stuff liberals and commie do

Meh, they’re probably in a gang so they’ll be protected when they are behind bars.

Needs to bring back hard labor camps, because their gangs can’t protect them from the pain they will experience there.

Nature / Nurture ?
Innate, I do not know.

But I do believe, that much of the worst is continuously reinforced by Hollywood, tv, the internet, radio...
No actual reading comprehension required.

When that is the main source of information, it becomes their reality. Yes they live in a ‘separate reality’.
Where going to jail is a badge to be proudly worn.

All too soon it will be prison tats, signifying murder.

All celebrated on screen and in song.

A famous family story...
During the depression, my grandfather was hunting turtles.
As he caught one, he spotted another.
Thinking quick, he attached the turtle to a log, using his beloved pearl handled knife.

Grabbing the second turtle, he noticed, the first with his knife swimming away!!!

Not supposed to play with your food.

Which is why Rappers aren’t Conservatives.

Worthless wastes of oxygen and space. Do unto them what they did to the turtle and the veteran, then leave their pulped remains as road kill for the vultures. At least let them do one useful thing.
