Update: The Court also heard the teenager was allegedly in possession of a motorcycle that belonged to a family member of the defendants when this incident allegedly occurred.

    Say what you want about these guys. You touch my daughter, break in my house you will get the beating your Dad missed out on giving you. Until it happens to you stfu. People can’t understand how they will act until it hits you in the face. I’ll leave you with this you have a 3 year old daughter some 15 – 50 year man touches her. What you going to do? The law is soft on this type of crime. The freak will be out in 1 year painting the house next to the house where the crime took place.

    When you snap you snap.

    We need to come together and demonstrate. We need to stop being held hostage by heathen children who dont care. Children have to learn respect!!!! Put the child’s parent(s) on trial!!!

  11. OhDear says:

    Regardless of what the kid did. Allegedly using a bladed weapon is no good way to teach a lesson. Even if that was the case it shouldnt take two adults to sort that out. Why even resort the violence?
