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.

0bama's children, doing what is their nature.

Do enough drugs, tv/movies and this becomes the norm.

Will PETA demonstrate and demand max. penalties for these thugs for the animal cruelty, in addition to the obvious assault charges etc.??

Since we are talking about Obama’s sons it is likely that PETA will be AWOL on this one.

Yup. Add in the likelihood of no father present and a mother/grandmother who turns a blind eye because they're good kids and dindu nuffin. Little psychopaths torturing animals and thinking nothing of beating up other people are the result.

But I guess I should just check my privilege and not judge.

Many lessons to be learned here. One of them is quantity sometimes beats quality (3 against 1).

Not nature, but nurture. Otherwise there would be no explanation for a Thomas Sowell, a Judge Janice Rogers Brown, a Justice Thomas or a Sheriff Clarke.

Some individuals of any color or background can overcome a bad start and thrive; many can not.

On the surface, it might not seem worth it for a guy to get beaten up over a turtle. In this case, however, the nature of the acts flags these three as likely sociopaths who should warrant extra scrutiny when being checked out in the future.

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.

It’s a good thing Mr. Blough wasn’t armed. If he had of defended himself by shooting one of those little Democrats, he would now be charged with murder./Sarc

People are naturally bad. It is the default situation.

It takes nurture, culture, and faith to produce a Sowell, Sheriff Clarke, or Janice Rigers Brown.

It takes nurture, culture and faith to produce a Trump, Scalia, or Justice Thomas, as well.

Disgraceful. I have to say, the police did a very good job in rounding these three ‘people’ up so quickly. Of course, there are still some cities where many police officers know who the townfolk are or where they probably live at.
It took a lot of courage for that Vet to speak up for the turtle, one of God’s innocent creatures.
The oldest one was 24 years old, and still torturing turtles, something I would expect of a seven or eight year old boy!
Pathetic.

Does race really need to be brought into this? Filthy,worthless punks come in all shapes,sizes,genders and races in this country.

And no,I'm not a member of "Black Lives Matter".

Good question. Which leads to this philosophical question: Which side would PETA be on if a transgender illegal immigrant abuses an animal owned by a gay minority?

The same type of people who tear the wings off flies and torture cats and dogs.

In a way race does play a part in the matter. They’ve been raised to disrespect authority, all the while sanctioned by the media and liberal politics.

Since that is how it is, it’s only rational and normal for people to find fact based reasons to dislike or hate groups of people.

Very well said! And that’s a lesson one could take from the book ‘Lord of the Flies.’ You are shaped by your environment.

Put them in RAPE wing and they’ll learn to care fast.
