They should be tried as adults.
Some black males also participated heavily. In fact, from the first stories circulating, it was black males who actually started beating the young white women, and the black girls ganged on. There were thirty-one attackers in all, all black, shouting things at the white girls about hating white people, "I'll beat your white ass", "All whites need a beat-down", "I'll kill your white ass, you mother-fing white bitch," and so on.
It was Larry Elder, a black journalist and SoCal radio talk show host that brought this story to the forefront. The big papers in SoCal hadn't even run the story as of at least ten days after it happened and at that time the DA was saying he saw no reason to prosecute it as a hate crime.
Bunch of racist cowards. They only pull this crap when they're in groups.
Thanks for the additional information.
Larry Elder does a great service with his column.
