I don't know about that.

It's been my experience, that so called
"half-drunk "corner boys"" aren't usually
the type to take violent offense, at the
vandalizing of a church....But it could be
a good trend in the making...

Not that i'd want to see someone beiing
intentionally killed for it...but i certainly
think a littler "street justice" in the form of
a good ass whuppin...ain't out of line...this one
apparently went too far.

I feel sorry for those who went too far.
I hope it was not by intent.
They will have to face the consequences of doing so.

Lemme guess:

In a few days, Google will identify this thread, and some brain-donor related to Donald Middleton will join Free Republic for the sole purpose of telling each and every one of us how wrong we are. We'll be told that we didn't know Donald, and if we were related to him, we wouldn't say such hurtful things.

I'll go on the record as saying that the mob was wrong, and should be punished. Nevertheless, the world is a better place without Donald Middleton.

A completely scriptural reaction?

Well maybe she was 86, and it is all relative.

"uh, lady... the guy was 46. ok, that ain't elderly yet, but it sure as hell ain't young, at any rate."

Matter of point of view, I suppose. If you're 90, 46 is still young. I've been known to call females "young lady" when they are 49. I'm 50. That is known as diplomacy. Many other possibilities.

Take it to the bank.

I remember a passage in Nicholas Pileggi's "WiseGuys" (the book that became the movie "Goodfellas") about a street punk who tried to mug an old lady in a certain Italian-american neighborhood back in the sixties'. He somehow managed to fall off a nearby rooftop...

Did this incident take place near the Bergen Hunt and Fish Club? Or its local equivalent?

All participants in this saga were a bit darker than the guidos you speak of, if you catch my drift. No mafia, just street corner justice.

Rap sheet going back to '84, but he was still a "good boy." Pathetic.
