NORTH COLLEGE HILL, Ohio -- Police say that six 13- and 14-year-old boys charged with robbing and badly beating a man told officers they were bored.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that 45-year-old Pat Mahaney is back home after being hospitalized for four days with internal injuries and bleeding, cuts and bruises. Police in the northern Cincinnati suburb of North College Hill say he was found covered in blood last Saturday evening.

According to one of the commenters, one of the savage's father brought him to the area for gang initiation?! Our tax dollars at work here! These parasites don't own a pot to p*ss in but they kill each other and attack innocent bystanders over "their" turf.

No hate crime here. Move along.

Well, they did say they were bored.

Maybe we need ennui crimes legislation?

The greatest need of young black males is a decent male role model to act as a father to them. Without that, young males will tend to seek out examples of masculinity to emulate. Unfortunately for young black males, the most masculine examples to follow are gang bangers and rap artists and video games like Grand Theft Auto.

These kids beat hell out of this man , and probably would have killed him if the neighbors hadn’t yelled at them, but can you imagine the headlines if this man had pulled a gun abd blown a couple of these kids away.

Teen agers can kill you.

The screams come up when one is killed during a burglary or robbery and like when Trayvon tried to kill Zimmerman, but that fact is young kids are capable of murder.

Decaf.

I was living in NJ and working in Midtown when Bernie cleaned-out that subway car. Definitely a high point in that hellhole’s history, IMO.

I would bet that the common thread the majority (or all) of these youths shared was LACK OF A FATHER IN THE HOME.

Having a game system or watching violent movies is a poor predictor of criminality - however not having a father is a very good predictor.

You are absolutely right. My 16 year-old son has played games like Call of Duty for years and is so polite and nonviolent; he would never think of beating someone up. And yes, his father and I are married and he, my son and 13-year-old daughter all live together under the same roof.

Boys need a moral compass and an authority figure to guide them, which fathers generally are. Mothers play a different role.

LOL. That was a record!! Never seen anything like it. :)

Seriously, though, I’m on my laptop, but the regular computer’s keyboard gets sticky.

Just Eric Holder's people getting in a little practice before the pResident gives them the "go" sign.

Cleaned the keyboard before I posted - and then a key got stuck! My bad!

The good news is you successfully bumped the thread to the top.

16 to 1 if we ever reach “go time”...

And the 16 will have scoped hunting rifles, not sideways glocks.

If you are a social miscreant of a particular color, you have been emboldened by the knowledge that Obama and Holder have your back.

[jonno]

Dude, I think you just set some kind of record here.

Yep that is one for the books...

[Buckeye McFrog]

Been to Cleveland lately? I think they adopted Chicago values sometime during Dennis Kucinch’s term as Mayor.

It must be those crazy Irish acting up again.

[Darren McCarty]

Crazy Irish and the other white ethnics need to start acting up again and refuse to put up with this shit. Do what needs to be done. Go home. Don’t call the cops. Shut up and say nothing.
