David Fisher QC, prosecuting, said the boys carried out a "completely unnecessary,
pointless and random attack."

When wouldn't this attack be unnecessary and pointless?
Oh yea, if he tried to defend himself.

[metmom]

Another witness heard one say "Did you get him?" and others replying '"Yeah, I think so."

It was intentional. They don't regret it.

scum (my apologies to scum everywhere)

He would have been 50 at the birth of his son.

A young man who was about 23 worked for me. His father was in his mid 70s.

It happens.

[alarm rider]

Well then it’s time strong men and women of England stand and say, “No More”. At some point someone will, better to choose now then to accept then.

[Brilliant]

My guess is that the Brits will throw the book at these kids. They’ll at least get probation and a black mark on their records.

[The Duke]

I must be racist as well, because as I read the article I found myself simply assuming they were Muslim.

[fanfan]

That being the case, I'm curious why Mr. Norton and Master Norton didn't leave the court when stuff started being thrown.

I dunno.

I imagine that being in a fenced area with a bunch of yahoos outside, I might be tempted to stay in the cage.

[Dad yer funny]

btw ,.. great text on your Home Page , aruanan

[fanfan]

They didn’t seem regretful, if the reports are true.

[mkjessup]

David Fisher, Prosecuting Attorney said "I expect they deeply regret the death of Ernest Norton and there is no doubt they did not intend that he should die."

Oh bullsh*t. Those feral animals masquerading as actual human beings don't regret a g*ddamned thing except being caught.

Groucho Marx had the right answer for this kind of scum, "line 'em up against the wall, and 'pop goes the weasel'"

But they'll be out roaming the streets for fresh prey inside of 5 years, mark my words.

[fanfan]

A black mark?

*shudder*

[brytlea]

I see no reason when *kids* do heinous crimes like this that their identity should be protected. Let the world know what sort of evil beings they are.

[fanfan]

As opposed to an honor killing, which is totally legal now.

Where?

Not in England. Not here.

[fanfan]

Agreed.

[popdonnelly]

This isn’t the first time some stupid kids have murdered an adult. Another good reason to carry.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Dude’s 67 and has a teenage son?

Some of us don't find our soul mate until late in life.

[csvset]

The world has gone mad.

Heck, in Norfolk, Virginia, a mob killed one and beat two. Not only did they rob them , they stripped them of their clothes.

The mob consisted of males and females. Initial reports estimated about sixteen people took part in the attack.

The other two ran for their lives, naked and bleeding, to a neighborhood pizza parlor.

It’s time.
