I tried searching for this on FR, then searching for non-wire stories, but had trouble. Probably one of the worst crimes I have heard of.

I've never heard of it either - which means the attackers were members of a "protected dem victim group"... If it had been white men doing this to a black woman and son - it would be on every news channel - and in every newspaper. (Just my guess - I could be wrong)

"The victims had fled poverty in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, years earlier. With no money, they landed in the Dunbar Village housing project, where they almost instantly became targets for crime, standing out among the mostly American-born black residents."

Welcome to America...

Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Stephen Hatfield escorts Avian Lawson into the courtroom to testify in West Palm Beach, Fla., Aug. 25, 2009. The teen defendant admitted Tuesday that when he was a 14-year-old middle schooler he participated in a gang rape of a mother and helped beat the woman's 12-year-old son in a horrific assault in which the two victims were forced to perform sex acts on each other.

We've really become too soft. We don't want to hurt any innocent people. We want to be fair. We want to be kind. We want to be compassionate.

That's why a great many Americans live in fearful conditions, with the inmates running the asylum.

If we were tougher, we would make a few mistakes, but the vast majority of Americans would end up living in safe and sane environments. The Left likes to speaks of the Greatest Good for the Greatest Number. Somehow that means that having 95% of the population cowering in fear of the feral population is now the Greatest Good.

An interesting aspect of this story is this is actually a hate crime: African American (Black) verses Haitian.

The woman and her son are Haitian immigrants, the Africa American youths are your typical illiterate, gang bangers, hip hop neighborhood homies.

The police think as many as ten youth were involved in this crime

Their time is over. They would have been better off just comitting suicide. This is a very disgusting story.

Not one of them showed mercy to the 35-year-old mother. They repeatedly violated her - vaginally, anally and orally - as she begged them to stop. She testified that each attacker who broke into her home sodomized her with an assault rifle. “Every time one is finished, the other one take his place, have sex with me in my behind,” she said in her Creole accent. “They keep calling me bitch. All of them were laughing. Some of them have sex with me three times. I was almost passed out. I couldn’t breathe. I tell them, please. When they’re having sex with me, they were holding my head, pulling my hair.”

Meanwhile, some of the assailants were across the hall beating her 12-year-old as he cried and begged for his life. Once they were through having their twisted version of fun with his mother, they forced her to have oral sex with him.

Their crimes were unspeakable. The punishment should fit them.

Robert Gershman, who represented Nathan Walker, asked the jurors to ignore morality, ignore the “hysteria” and ignore emotion. “No matter how morally reprehensible you believe the situation was, that plays no role. Who would stay, who would not report, who in their right mind would be there ... should not be in your decision. The immorality of it cannot sweep you away to a guilty verdict times 14.”

The jury chose not to ignore the evidence. Not to ignore the victim. Not to ignore the testimony of Lawson, whose version of events coincided with the victim’s. Both juries - Poindexter and Walker each had one - chose not to ignore the truth.

Still, the victim testified that 10 men assaulted her. Lawson identified six: Poindexter, Walker, Jakaris Taylor, Melvin Young, Augustus Fontaine and himself. Taylor goes on trial next month. Why haven’t West Palm Beach police arrested Young and Fontaine? Law enforcement officials say only that it’s an ongoing investigation. It had better be. For those who were there on June 18, 2007, with Poindexter, Walker and Lawson, the truth still awaits. And all of those who were there should face it.

The victims had fled poverty in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, years earlier. With no money, they landed in the Dunbar Village housing project

Harriet Rogers, the mother of Dunbar Village rape suspect Tommy Poindexter, said she doesn't believe her son had anything to do with the June 18 assault. Her fiancé, Joseph Trowell, is in the background

She (his mother) said Poindexter is the youngest of her four children. He has a girlfriend, takes out the trash and plays with his nieces. He watches TV, plays video games and was planning to join the Job Corps to become a guidance counselor.

Rogers (Poindexter's mother) said she is a recovering crack cocaine addict who spent much of his childhood focused on getting high.

Poindexter appears to be a member of the increasingly violent and popular Buck Wild Gang, a group based in Riviera Beach responsible for several robberies and shootings. On the MySpace social networking Web site, pages affiliated with Buck Wild members showing guns, stacks of money and mug shots refer to Poindexter as a gang associate.

...and later doused the victims with cleaning solutions, nail polish remover and vinegar to clean the crime scene.

Didn't work in Knoxville either, guys...

Death by lethal injection would be too kind for these horrible animals. These are the kind of disgusting pukes that deserve vigilante justice. Their last breaths on this Earth cannot come soon enough.

Lord, it is hard to wish for mercy upon their souls.

I hope they get health care after having been so abused by society that they acted out in such an antisocial manner.

This is the result of five decades of compromising with the criminal enterprise known as the democrat party, their Supreme Court appointments who legislate from the bench, their ACLU that works to overturn whatever they cannot otherwise subvert.

These kids are their fifth column, the government brainwashed, government impoverished, plantation residents that they've been cruelly manipulating for that same fifty years in order to spread fear and extort payoffs they use to hire their own. The people who did this are your tax dollars at work and now your tax dollars will keep them up even more so. After “good behavior” they'll serve what, 72 months of a 72 year sentence?

Regards

Fla. woman: Teens laughed as they raped, beat her

Police Officer Moore testified he found the woman "in a fetal position laying on the bed ... and her son was in a fetal position laying on a chair next to her."

After being doused with cleaning solutions, nail polish remover and vinegar, Williams said, the victims huddled together in the bathtub naked for several hours, too scared to move.

Then, in pain and bleeding, they walked a mile to the hospital.
