Two teenagers caught on video beating a homeless man were identified late Saturday as they prepared to turn themselves in to police. Thomas Daugherty, 17, and Brian Hooks, 18, both of Plantation, are also suspected in the bludgeoning of two other homeless men in a three-hour spree in Fort Lauderdale last Thursday, said Fort Lauderdale police spokeswoman Detective Katherine Collins. One of the victims died. Police said they got more than 100 tips on the case from people who saw the video. Collins said Saturday night that the teens' attorneys were arranging their return to the area and their surrender to face charges of murder and aggravated battery.

It tells me these kids thought those men were less than human. Easy marks as they were on the edge of society. I hope they pay to the fullest.
I agree about Florida but Ol' Sparky hasn't been used in years.
Good! Glad they've been caught. They were just getting started, serial killers in training. They should never be allowed to live in the general population, in fact they probably shouldn't be allowed to live.
Teenaged hooligans beating homeless people for thrills.
Clockwork Orange comes to life.

Small and white, they'll be turned into unpaid boy-whores and passed around the population. That's what they have in store for them.
Nah, I don't see them getting the death penalty. Not even in Floriduh. For one, one of the youths is under 18. Furthermore, as violent as this act was, I doubt it was their intention to actually kill anybody. No premiditation.
At any rate, these young men will grow old in the Florida State Penitentiary and they deserve nothing less. Hope their parents are proud. What fine, upstanding kids they raised.
Should have used spell check! :)
Once, I and three friends, who were staying up all night at a campout at my house, walked a whole mile and a half to an all-night-restaurant, then walked back again before my parents found out! Boy, those were some wild times, I can assure you! We were crazy in those days!
They'll plead hurricane victim stress induced psychosis.
To which a lib would add, "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"
That is one aspect of the left's plan, to create a lawless society so that we will demand a strong central government to cure the problem. They first must take our guns so that we don't solve the problem without them.
Their pretense about caring is just one of their lies. What they promise and what they do are opposites.
