    These guys are disgusting, I hope the elder is ok and can still manage to enjoy his christmas. Who hits an 84 year old in the face? It’s a pity someone wasn’t there to turn the tables on them.

    C’mon guys!! When you attack you will be attacked. It’s going to come back to you or your families!! Stop this madness!! I hope you don’t have children. This is not the example you want to set! And imagine your parents embarrassment! Mr. ‘L’ Sir, Get better soon and I know one day you’ll forgive our wayward children …

  5. Truth is killin' me... says:

    Beating a senior two days before Christmas in his own home. Straight to hell the both of you. Luckily the senior is alive and on the mend. Shame on them…. disgusting!

  6. I don’t care who the young fools are or what the reason behind the attack, they deserve to be tied down and beaten for hours so they would never forget this day.

    I can only think of my own grandfather who is gone 90 and if ever someone would think of the day,I warn you to be caught by the authorities before I get to you and i say it without apology, our seniors are the bedrock to our foundation and to mistreat them is inexcusable.

    Ya well these guys are doing wrong going, court getting off and sh**. What do you expect. STuff like this will always happen until these people start doing time for doing dumb ish…

  8. Just an Onion says:

    they should suffer at the hands of all till they repent and respect. So that mans beat them to within an inch of their useless lives. the courts would only baby slap them on the wrist.

  9. No longer a member says:

    Start being like other countries. majority of the inmates have family. Provide a breakfast and the other meals should be provided by their family in jail. No shoes or sneakers, let them walk barefooted. Ball and chain and have them clean parks and roadways…. Lable their offences so that the public can read what they have done. I am certain their are other measures that can be legislated that will save money and also disgrace them so that it can be a deterent to commit crimes.

  10. Keepin' it Real...4Real! says:

    OMG!!!!…Thank God Mr. Victim didn’t have one of those,attackin’, maimin’, lockjawin’, illegal things layin’ by his feet…could you jus’ imagine what could have happened to those two good little boys offering their services to a senior in this festive season. Keep up the good Governance.

    More desperation because of the state of the island.Crime flourished under the former govt,and it is going to get worse as there is no longer a safety net,due to our DEBT.Thanks PLP!
