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.

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

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.

[Leaning Right]

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

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

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

[Gay State Conservative]

I'm about as far from being an “animal rights advocate” as you'll find but who in God's name beats a turtle?????

[avenir]

Aaaaaaaand......its Obama's sons!

[lee martell]

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.

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

Perps & their supporters: “That turtle be racist!”

[Perseverando]

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.”

[Dawgreg]

Sub-human vermin.......no good to society......long jail terms and maybe someone will throw them to the floor and beat the hell out of them.

[Nifster]

I hope they go to prison not jail

[EinNYC]

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.

Esteban: Your father was out riding when his horse was frightened by a turtle ...

Don Diego: Uno Tortuga ...?

Esteban: I just want you to know, my friend, that the turtle who caused this has been executed.
