That is just so make the beast with two backsed up.
Give those three morons the chamber.
Unfortunately, no death penalty in IL.
How could they ever be a productive member of society?
I am not condoning what happened.
But if he was not involved with what was going on perhaps standing on the sidelines watching it happen is not the best of ideas.
Surly he does not deserve to die for that but its not as if it could not have been prevented.
Where did you read he was standing on the sidelines?
QuoteAlbert was walking to a bus stop when he got caught up in the mob street fighting, authorities said.

short story; He was on the Honor roll. Two rival gangs got into a streetfight over a shooting earlier in the day. He was walking home and stopped to see what was going on. Both gangs turned on him and beat him to death instead of fighting each other.
Truly a make the beast with two backsed up story.

I've never been in a gang, have know very few gang members, dont really know the do's and do-not of gang activity. However- If I see a crowd of hudlems hanging around the street, the last thing I'd do is stand there and watch. You can bet your sweet ass that I would get the f out of there in a hurry.
bystander = potential witness
this is still a sad story.

Yeaaaahhhh.... speaking from personal experience, common sense is not always the strong suit among the demographic that will stand around to observe street crime.
And by "demographic," I mean bored teenagers. No one read anything racist into that, 'cuz stupid white kids stand around watching street crime, too.
And by "personal experience," I mean I was outside on the lawn at my high school playing hacky-sack with my stoner buddies when a drive-by shooting occurred on the corner of the school campus - and half of my graduating class ran
towards the gunfire to see what was happening.
The announcements over the PA during second period the next day were classic… the senior dean came on and said, “…and remember, kids, in the event of gunfire, please head away from the sound of the shots, not towards them.†You could almost hear Darwin's ghost laughing…
the Olympics will fix all this

No way would I be a witness to a gang fight.
They will whack you before the trial.
A side track from the thread, but one day I was walking up Fifth Ave in NYC. The block was barricaded and taped off. Police were wearing flack jackets and armed with rifles. The situation was armed robbers took hostages. Pedestrians still walked through the area.
Back on track. Being a (momentarily) stupid bystander is not a criminal act. Beating someone to death is.
oops.... no Olympics
the beatings/killings will continue
