COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - All eight suspects are in custody after a brutal attack in Five Points early Monday morning which left the teenage victim in critical condition, according to Columbia police.

Columbia Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Timmons said most of the eight suspects are juveniles, and did not release the names of any of the suspects. Timmons said no charges have been filed so far, though possible charges could include assault and battery and strong-arm robbery.

We have more than our share in Memphis and they are spreading to the burbs.

“Timmons said no charges have been filed so far, though possible charges could include assault and battery and strong-arm robbery.”

That’s it? How about attempted murder?

[skeeter]

Spreading to the burbs would be a mistake.

I would begin carrying, police be damned.

And so would many many others.

‘bammers could stop this with one speech.

Seriously, this subculture has an “empowerment in the age of 0bama” mentality now, and that is what is leading to the racial attacks.

‘bammers, if he wanted to, could speak directly to these “youth” and tell them to knock it off... IF he wanted to.

Feral youth? What about the feral “adults?” Some of them are in Congress.

[I cannot think of a name]

How odd, just yesterday there was a post about people living in rural areas being less stressed then those living in urbane areas.

Wherever to they get such ideas?

[MissEdie]

That’s because of housing vouchers and Section 8 housing a lot of homeowners aren’t aware of (just another method of spreading the wealth and tearing down good, solid neighborhoods).

[DrNo]

Why aren’t you carrying now?

[Dawgreg]

Feral, dangerous animals are put down on site. Is this what we’re going to have to resort to in this country? I say this with an ounce of sarcasm but this is happening more and more. Savage mentality takes over and that bothers me. I pray for this young man’s recovery and I pray that justice will be served and the punishment severe!

There’s going to be a Bernie Goetz incident eventually, and anyone with any brains will stand up and cheer and say that we need more citizens dealing directly with the ferals. It’s a good thing.

[VeniVidiVici]

The Columbia media are doing their damndest to keep from calling this a hate crime.

Just curious...you aren't carrying now because...?

[skeeter]

Cost/benefit ratio. When the need is there I’ll know.

[Dawgreg]

I hate to say it but I think these “feral yutes” are being encouraged by some in this society. BO ain’t gonna say anything.

[DrNo]

Start your training now.

[JimRed]

Just curious...you aren't carrying now because...?

Skeeter may well be a "law abiding citizen" who can't carry due to some quirk in the law.

[rogue yam]

So the comments at the source indicate that the savages who committed this outrageous and cowardly crime were black.

I wonder when our post-racial President and his Attorney General will address what appears to by an increasing frequency of violent mob actions perpetrated by black Americans.

That’s because of housing vouchers and Section 8 housing
Right on, right on, right on. It's the exact same process and the exact same result as busing.
They forced integration on the city schools and destroyed them.
Now the Section 8 scumbags are destroying every suburban school, home and neighborhood they infest.

“...possible charges could include assault and battery and strong-arm robbery.”

If that isn’t a hate crime, nothing is.
