That last bit is a pretty stupid statement. Violence sure solved Hitler, and a little correctly applied force might have saved a lot of grief here.

Members of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity saw what was happening and tried to help Kernich and his friends.

Good on ya, Delts!

I thought the Amish didn’t drive cars.

Don't go disrespectin' the Amish!

Trivia note: No photos of the suspects so far on any of the news articles.

Disrespectin’ a dude is a capital offense...

[arjay]

This should be charged as a hate crime, but it won’t be.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Must be a hate crime.You gotta really hate someone to kick their head in for no real reason.

Thank you Obama for your sickness being played out on college campuses. /sarc

Prayers to this students family and the brave people that tried to help him.

What kind of criminals "curbstomp" a student for yelling at them? According to this website, they look like this;

Prayers for Kernich and his family. Prayers for justice to be done.

My psychic powers enabled me to see, in my mind’s eye, exactly what these two yoots looked like, even before I scrolled down to No. 5.

[skeeter]

the students yelled to the driver "watch what you're doing".

Well then, of course they were beaten. These students were tragically unaware of decades of oppression suffered by the kind of 'youths' who administered the beating.

Losing a loved one is never easy, particularly if it is a result of a senseless tragedy viscious attack by savage thugs.

There. Fixed it.

[Mac from Cleveland]

We need stricter gun laws to prevent this type of thing!

oh, wait......

May we learn something from this incident, for our own sake and in Chris memory."

What are we to learn? There's evilness out there? Those in Kent don't know this? Provoked or unprovoked should not have been included in the statement. If I were this man's parent, I would be livid w/that statement. Incredible grief for his parents/family.

[SECURE AMERICA]

is a tragic reminder that violence, whether provoked or unprovoked-regardless of the reason, is never the answer.

Really? Should we have sent Hilter flowers instead of American soldiers who perpatrated extreme violence on the nazi?
Would you rather be called an Englsihman instead of an American? It was extreme violence that made you an American..
You are blaming the action-a kick to the head(violence)instead of blaming the scumbags that used the violence in a totaly immoral illeagl improper manner.
I blame the scumbags..

[vortigern]

I haven't been able to find any mention of this being a called a possible "HATE CRIME"... I wonder had the suspects been white and the victim had been black if it would have been reported any differently?

Au contraire.

To those not burdened with the plague of political correctness, it is becoming patently obvious that violence IS the answer when faced with increasingly emboldened, ignorant, third world savages.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

This is likely a 2nd degree murder (IANAL) but I tell ya, this is an example of a 2nd degree murder which IMO should be prosecuted and sentenced as vigorously as a 1st degree murder.

Consider: This is pure animalistic violent behavior, with no apparent self-imposed limitations, and if society is to be protected against such, this deserves a very lengthy prison sentence. If the perps here can go overboard to this extent over something so apparently trivial, then at what point are they to be considered safe to allow to run loose? And I mean, “run loose”. This is animalistic behavior, not human behavior.

As opposed to first degree murder, which, though it is certainly heinous and deliberate, is probably directed only at a single person whom the perp believes has wronged him/her to an intolerable degree. That it is premeditated speaks to a sense of logic, a sense of right and wrong, twisted though they may be.

My opinion.
