DETROIT — A young man who participated in a mob attack on a Detroit-area motorist needed a father to "beat the hell" out of him as a kid to discourage him from committing such a crime, a judge said Thursday.

The stunning remarks by Wayne County Judge James Callahan came as he sentenced Latrez Cummings to six months in jail.

In response to the judge's question, Cummings, 19, said his father wasn't around when he was growing up.

Callahan said Cummings needed a dad, "someone to discipline you. Someone to beat the hell out of you when you made a mistake, as opposed to allowing you or encouraging you to do it to somebody else."

Cummings and four others have pleaded guilty to assaulting Steve Utash, who was in a coma for days after the April attack. The mob pounced on him in Detroit when he got out of his pickup truck to help a 10-year-old boy who had stepped in front of his vehicle.

The judge is white, the kid is black, so you know how this is going to go over.

[faithhopecharity]

Improper remark. But true nonetheless.

[FreedomPoster]

So the judge speaks the truth and will catch Hell?

[Ghost of SVR4]

You maybe right, however he is saying what is on everyone’s mind and that is how “we” defend this guy online. BTW, we might make mention that the race baiter’s in the country alone need the hell beat out of them. I’m already resolved to the fact one of “obama’s” folk or his followers “get in my face” I will lay them flat out on their backs. I am tired of being polite.

The judge’s remark was appropriate and needed to be heard by the feral population.

Maybe the kid will benefit from one while in jail.

A maxim from my generation.

Stern rhetoric accompanied with a short sentence. Typical liberal judge.

Ninety per cent of the African American community agrees with this judge but won’t publicly support him.

I agree with the judge’s comments but the sentence should have been much worse. This was clearly a hate crime. The man they beat was in a coma for days.

They just about killed an innocent man. They shouldn’t be allowed any freedom for several years.

[PATRIOT1876]

The judge is correct.
The guy in the truck would've been perfectly justified in running over these feral goons.

It's a shame that “entertainers” encourage kids to act like amoral clowns...complete with baggy clown pants and clown-like gesticulations.

[Theoria]

Yeah. Martha Stewart served 5 months. This 'man' almost killed this poor father and he will do 6.

Stern rhetoric accompanied with a short sentence. Typical liberal judge.

Agreed.

Hate crime is a federal crime and has a minimum Five years in a Federal pen.
Hard to prove though. It's basically a crime devoted to only Whites
and held up only for whites which is why the narrative for the Trayvon incident
went so viral as Zimmermen was portrayed as White, and why Holder investigated it.

That punk and others deserve more than a beating IMO. Now if I happen to have and accident
and run over any Black person I'll have my gun in hand and foot on the throttle
all the way to the police station to report the accident. This is how they want it,
they got it.

[boycott]

When you put a piece of #$^& in a suit, it's still a piece of #$%&. We get to pick up the tab for this thug's lawyer, court cost, jail, food, healthcare, etc.

[Cyman]

I applaud the judge and his wisdom.

[boycott]

Our so-called justice system now lacks justice. Our justice system is now a failed system.

[MaxMax]

Many of our legal problems are directly associated to the MAYORS of those
cities, and not one story "Ever holds them accountable".
