This was a despicable act and the only positive thing is the 8 year old boy didn't die. Those white teens need to not only be arrested but put in a place of confinement where they can't hurt anyone else. This was an attempt to murder, no one hangs anyone with a rope unless that was the intent. Those teens need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law ! Those rope marks on that boys neck certainly make it very clear what was done and what the intent was !

Fourteen year old and an eight year old, it is not just racism. They are using racism or anything else to justify being a bully. Educating them is rarely a solution to that type of action, punishment is what is deserved.

PO1 Henry Jackson - Obviously you have a reading comprehension problem. But getting more to the point, do you believe that all of the LGBT youth and young adults that have been hung, crucified, or kicked to death were black? A few were black, but they were not bullied or abused because the were black, it was because they were LGBT.

Now if you had understood what I wrote, you would have understood that it does not matter if the one child was racist or not, it still could have occurred. AND bullies came in all shapes and colors, bullies are not just white.

PO1 Henry Jackson - I have...not strung up but beaten and killed. There were numerous white folks that helped that cause in the 50's such as the freedom riders that were killed in Philadelphia MS and buried in their car in a earthen dam. Numerous others that were strung up because they were sympathizers. It has happened but that part of history isn't talked about. It happened.

It's difficult at best to figure out what happened when the police won't release any details. Maybe it is proper no details are released until these children are charged and tried. We need to let the system do it's job and give them enough time.

OK what these teens did is wrong and they need to be tried as adults. But some how this is Donald Trumps fault. So is all the killing in Chicago Obamas fault? I mean he was from Chicago and was a community organizer. That sounds stupid, right? Same with blaming Trump for this act. But you guys can keep throwing mud a the Trump wall, something will stick at some point. As for this you boy, god bless you son, I hope you recover and that justice finds these two teens who I hope will see the error of their ways.
