Title 18? If it could be proved the assailants knew the kid was ghey and attacked him thusly, maybe. Otherwise, no Federal coverage.
It's what they used to call a 'ghetto' case: 'ghetto' victim, 'ghetto' defendant, 'ghetto' crime.
The only thing to look forward to is guess which kid trips a probie violation first.
Those “Apology Letters” to the dead child’s family are likely to be either forged, dictated or plagiarized.
I doubt if either wannabeTHUG can spell or formulate a coherent sentence.
