As some of you know I work in the news media and I run across all sorts of stories that sicken me. However, we had a story happen this week in a town not to far away that has really affected me.

An 81 year old man, in town for his daughters wedding, was beaten to death by a 13 year old and two 16 year old boys. The reason? They wanted to impress some girls by beating up the next person they met. I'm just at a loss...

Very sad.  :pray

There are a group of four teens in my area awaiting trial for beating a homeless person to death. The reason; they thought it would be exciting to beat someone up.  :headscratch:

A few years ago we had a string of those in Milwaukee... look up mob beatings in Milwaukee for some truly sad stories.

Were the girls impressed?
If they were, those boys and girls should not be allowed to breed.

Thankfully we don't see stuff like that here in Fargo ND.

Maybe we got some hard core Judge's, maybe most folks are just too busy trying to stay warm, or maybe, just maybe parents do a better job of raising children up here.

I could be wrong, but it seems that kind of mindless abuse goes hand in hand with drug abuse. And I don't mean smoking a joint on Fri night.

We need to bring the troops home, seal the border, and WIN the drug war.

There's some kids in my town that think jumping this little guy over and over again is fun just because they get annoyed by him. The kid's mentally challenged and as annoying as he can be, he hasn't done anything to deserve getting jumped...
