Three boys arrested in the beating death of a homeless man told investigators they attacked the 55-year-old as he slept simply because they were "bored," police said Monday.
"Basically, they said they did this because they were bored and they didn't have anything to do,'' said Sgt. Bruce Brock of the homicide squad. "It ended up that their fun was harassing this homeless guy, and things just escalated. It's every parent's worst nightmare to find out your child is involved in something like this."
Police arrested the three teens Friday after they admitted beating Dalrus Joseph Brown, who was found dead July 17 where he often slept near an abandoned factory in West Oakland. Brock said Brown apparently was sleeping when the three teens came upon him. He never made it to his feet to fight back or flee, investigators said.
The teens -- two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old whose names were not released because of their age -- told investigators they awoke before sunrise on the day Brown was killed and spent the early morning hours wandering the streets of West Oakland, Brock said.

Execute them and move on. They're done.
But this is San Francisco, where young, curious, confused teens are urged to follow their whims to experience all life has to offer...? Don't go holding this expression up to some loosly-defined, moral, religious standard!
beat me to it!
See, if midnight basketball and other liberal programs were available, this wouldn't have happened.
They're broken.
Actually it's Oakland, where young, curious, confused teens sell crack and kill people.
Eventually Americans are going to get off their duffs and demand that sub-humans who tire of television cartoons and games and begin "killing" time need to be removed permanently from society and carted up to boot hill!
I imagine the nightmare was worse for Dalrus Joseph Brown, as he was being stomped... to death....
These poor kids, they were just bored. It's society's fault for not providing more things for them to do, to keep them occupied. If there had been more things like AfterMidnight/Pre-dawn Basketball, they'd have been otherwise occupied, and not gone looking for mischief.
Once, when I was 15 or 16, I was bored. I read a book.
So, does that mean that once they turn 18, they go free? Welcome to California.
Yes, but at least you know how to read.
Fry them in the chair because the jury is "bored" and wants to see something exciting...sick lil b@stards deserve to fry...None of that pansy lethal injection crap...
