absolute mindless savagery that deserves ruthless punishment.

tell me why they should be allowed to continue to breath.

Las Vegas Metro Police Officers working the case say they haven't seen anything like it. A beating outside a strip casino has them working around the clock to find those responsible.

It was just past 2:20 a.m. Saturday night a group of young people walks by and individual who is believed to be a maintenance worker on a golfcart.

One of the persons in the group stops at the cart and grabs the worker's walkie-talkie.

The worker says something to the group and grabs for his cell phone. But what happens next has Metro Capt. David O'Leary in awe.

"I think the video speaks for itself," O'Leary said. "I don't think anyone in this community would tolerate this behavior anywhere."

The worker is beaten by hand and with a belt. He tries to get away but the beating continued

"I can speak for the resort corridor as well as the neighborhoods," O'Leary said. "This type of crowd attack mentality is something that we don't ever see in Las Vegas."

The worker does manage to get up and walk back to his cart.

"Considering the level of the attack and the beating-- it is amazing anyone was able to get up and walk away from that certainly," O'Leary said.

Police are trying to figure out what sparked the beating.

"It may have been the release of a movie," O'Leary said.

Police are following every lead so they can bring these individuals to justice.

"I think anyone who looks at the videotape certainly can derive from their own conclusions about what punishment should be made out to fit the offense," O'Leary explained.

The worker walked away with a broken jaw and collar bone.

Police are calling this a robbery because someone in the group took the worker's cell phone.

They are interviewing the victim as well as witnesses who saw what happened. They hope at least one of the tips can lead them to those responsible.

The concern over this brutal attack has police asking for your help. Police are not releasing where the attack happened at the request of the property.

If the guy working on the cart was black and the "crowd" white, that'd be called a hate crime instead of a robbery.

ya think???

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, probably just some tourists looking for another thrill...

 

[Changleen]

Jeeze, they just beat him up. Are you seriously advocating the death penalty?

better yet, put them in a cage and left them fight each other to death.

with behavior such as that, what redemption do they demonstrate. they clearly have utter disdain for civilized behavior. can you honestly sit there and think/say that said behavior will get better with age?

if not the death penalty...then exile, as they are only going to continue to be bane/drain on the community they dwell in.

You're retarded.

 

[ridetoofast]

brilliant retort...

 

[.:Jeenyus:.]

You're retarded.

I am generally for harsh punishments, but death penalty over a few broken bones is waaaaaaay extreme. That said, cutting their nuts off is a viable solution, and you kill two birds with one stone.

Fabricate a fictional scenario and suggest a fictional outcome. Genius. Thank you for participating in this thread.

To me it looked like blacks and whites in the group. Usually when it's whites bashing blacks the whites have badges and you frothers call it "doing their job".
And hatetoomuch your hidden agenda is sadly too obvious. Wouldn't you be more at home at www.stormfront.org ?

Yup - went there once, never again.

amen sister..... I have never seen so much money, spent so poorly....

Oh god, heaven forbid I use the 'swap roles' scenario to make a point Lord knows that's never done...

 

[blt2ride]

I saw the video on the news...it was hard to watch. I think the death penalty would be a bit over-the-top for a case like this, but 15-20 years in prison may teach these useless cowards a lesson.

I can't believe that I'm going to say this, but Burlsy Surley has a valid point...if the victim was black and the attackers were white, it would be a totally different case...

Burlsy Surley has a valid point...if the victim was black and the attackers were white, it would be a totally different case...

and if the victim were white and the attackers black, Southerners would've lynched the first 4 innocent black men they came across. What's your point?

 

[BurlyShirley]

Oh bull****...when's the last time that has happened? Im not saying it isnt possible, but the tide has definitely turned in racial violence to the point that most white people I know fear blacks, I know the opposite cant be said.

 

[Atomic Dog]

That said, cutting their nuts off is a viable solution, and you kill two birds with one stone.

Wouldn't "Kill two stones with one bird" be more appropriate?

 

[ohio]

most white people I know fear blacks

Most white folks feared blacks in the 60s, thus the lynchings... driven by fear.

I know the opposite cant be said.

Maybe on a one on one basis, but they still have to live in constant fear of cops, store owners, taxi drivers, small asian women, etc.

I still don't see what any of this has to do with the thread, which was kind of my point.

yes an outright death sentence would be harsh.

i just want to see them left to and be on the receiving end of their own devices...so let them cage fight till their almost dead, that would be sufficient.

chang-sees the world through rosy glasses-leen

just how do YOU think they should be treated then since you always seem to have all the answers.

what insightful treatment would you give them that would subsequently make them a useful part of society?

How about they get charged with the actual crime they committed? ABH or similar. What does that carry, like 5 years or something? Sounds reasonable to me.

Well, actually I'd just enforce the 'don't sell more alcohol to drunk people' law a little more actively. That would probably prevent a good number of these types of incidents. Or just legalise Cannabis. People like to get off their heads. If they're drunk they often get violent, whereas stoned people tend to get happy, lazy and hungry. It's a winner for the catering industry too.

Vegas Attack Likely Part Of 2-Day Terror Spree
Group Possibly Linked To Six Incidents

POSTED: 8:25 am EDT April 19, 2006
UPDATED: 1:38 pm EDT April 19, 2006

Authorities in Las Vegas believe the brutal beating of a 22-year-old casino worker caught on surveillance tape may have been part of two days of terror inflicted by the same thugs throughout the Las Vegas metro area.

Investigators believe there is a strong likelihood that the group could be linked to as many as six crimes and attacks in the area.

"It now appears that we might have six of these incidents around Las Vegas and one of the other jurisdictions too," Las Vegas police Lt. Ted Snodgrass said.

Police believe the first incident happened after midnight at an unnamed location, according to a KLAS-TV report.

After the first beating, authorities said that the group moved on to the MGM parking lot.

Local 6 News video showed a group of about 15 men punching, whipping and kicking an MGM Grand worker for his cell phone.

An hour later, police believe the same group popped up at a Travelodge, where they beat a motel guest.

Then, the following night, surveillance video shows a group of men stealing drinks and snacks from a store in the northwest part of the city.

Police said the group then apparently traveled to a nearby park and roughed up and robbed a victim. At another park, a man was shot and beaten by what may have been the same group of men.

"I think at this time, based on a couple things, that those (incidents) are related and I'll go over why we think they're related; One, the time frame being over the weekend-the Friday, Saturday connection, or early Saturday, early Sunday morning," Snodgrass said. "Also the number of suspects. We just don't get this many suspects at one time. The other thing is the descriptions of them being younger, African American males that are involved in it."

Daryl Williams, 18, was arrested in connection with the latest attack and police expect to nab at least a dozen more suspects, according to the report.

yeah these guys are real pillars of society..

Or just legalise Cannabis. People like to get off their heads. If they're drunk they often get violent, whereas stoned people tend to get happy, lazy and hungry. It's a winner for the catering industry too.

has the world stopped spinning on its axis...we actually agree about something

Crime in Las Vegas? I'm shocked. Truly shocked.

 

[ridetoofast]

oh im sure you could be just as indifferent if you were that guy...
