Authorities in Pennsylvania say they arrested a "wolf pack" of teenagers in connection with an assault on a 13-year-old boy who police say was kidnapped and hung from a fence post.

Nadin Khoury, of Upper Darby, Pa., was walking home from school on Jan. 11 when he was attacked by a group of teenagers who punched, kicked and dragged him through the snow before stuffing him in a tree and hanging him by his coat on a 7-foot-high fence, police said.

The boy, who was not seriously injured, was rescued when a passerby jumped out of her car and took the boy home.

Authorities arrested six teenagers, ages 13 to 17, in connection with the attack on Monday. Police arrested a seventh teen on Tuesday after he arrived at school.

Some of the alleged assailants videotaped the attack, which lasted about 15 minutes, on a cell phone camera. Police have charged the suspects with kidnapping, false imprisonment, reckless endangerment and other crimes.

Quote:
...someone who is executed with a rope around their neck is not “hung.” They are “hanged.”

That is the first thing that caught my eye as well.
And I'm not one known for using proper English. :)

What mental midget phrased this sentence? When one is HUNG, the general belief is that they are being executed with a rope around their neck...

No, when one is HUNG the general belief is that we are related.

I do believe that you meant to correct the mental midget by saying 'hanged'.

Oh come on, they were just “funnin’”/S
No one died, right?

I guess they didn't want us to be able to see if the attackers were schvatzas.

If he was straight, he got what he deserved.

I was ready to throw a wall of flame at that statement, then I realized its true meaning. Yes, I agree, if he's straight, he would be seen by the leftard media as somehow deserving of the attack.

The boy also said that he's been told by his middle school not to return to class, and said his family was forced to move after they were allegedly threatened.

so the whole family was threatened and moved?

When diversity attacks!

Our strength is in our diversity!

Pennsylvania? Isn’t that place full of AMISH folks???

Yikes, here we go again!

Khoury is a traditionally Christian (I don’t know if exclusively Christian) Arabic last name.

I can’t watch the video right now - a little one in the room - to tell if the boy is black or white, or green or orange. But it doesn’t matter. And it doesn’t matter what color the perpetrators are. Justice should be colorblind.

Looking at the video, the victim is black, and the assailants appear to be white (which is why it’s national news right now). I wonder what the rest of the story is.

Amen, my friend. Same here. My kids are not afraid of teachers, principals, or other adults.

They are afraid of me.

From City-Data, Darby is a small suburb of Philadelphia. Population 10,000, and on the decline (3.3% drop in last 10 years).

Their crime index is 1254, with the national average being 319. They had 3 murders, 11 rapes, 78 robberies, 306 assaults, 36 stolen cars, and 3 cases of arson in 2009....all in a town of 10,000. Sounds like a very rough place....but diversified :).

A few years ago six blacks beat up a white kid at Jena (Louisiana) High School. Unlike the PA kid the Jena kid was injured and had to obtain treatment at a hospital. The DA charged the six Jena hoodlums with attempted murder. Then comes Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to the rescue along with the national media and a “civil rights march”. Since the incident happened in the South, the DA had to be racially motivated to bring such a severe charge to such a minor offense.

Now that we have a similar incident in PA, where are Jesse and Al. When is the march scheduled. Where are the media and why aren't they defending the thugs?

Apparently the Mason-Dixon line is still alive and well

Regardless of the race of the "youth" involved...an attack is an attack. Yeah, the "pack" didn't force the victim to drink Clorox like the Knoxville animals did or chunk bricks at him like the folks did Reginald Denny after the King riots in 1992, but it is still an attack/assault.

Those punks pushing the lone kid around and then hanging him on the fence need to have their butts kicked. If I were the father of the victim, those kids' parents would be getting a visit from me.

Actually the boy is from Liberia. His mother said they left the dangerous environment there and came to America where they knew they would be safe.

I saw the attackers on the local news last night—they were Caucasian. What a bunch of cowards! It was reported they were in juvenile detention where they need to stay until they are 21.

A visit to their parents would mean you would talk to a grandmother probably. The odds are they don't know who their daddies are and momma’s whereabouts may not be known. She only comes home to have another baby.

Lyndon Baines Johnson's Great Society ended the need for a two parent family. Momma breeds and has more babies so that the “family” consisting of her, her mother, and a host of kids can enjoy a higher income. A momma capable of birthing kids is a cash cow. No parenting skills needed or expected—just a social worker to keep score on the number of kids living in the household.

Yep. The purpose of the Great Society was to alleviate poverty. Another liberal success story.

Hey all. I watched this video and it brought back memories. I went to a Christian school K-12 small town USA. I have scars on my face, and I used to be a little scrawny runt who got picked on by the older kids.
I’m a lot bigger than those kids now. This can happen anywhere. I wanted nothing more than to beat the living crap out of the punks who were terrorizing this kid. It can happen anywhere when parents and teachers look the other way.

Amish?

Try ‘em as adults...all of ‘em.
