    Sad that this happened, and even more sad that it is not an unusual event. Here in Los Angeles there have been many incidents of teenage kids running around videotaping themselves attacking homeless people just for fun. Not talking about throwing eggs or waterballoons, either. Beating people with baseball bats and tire irons, dousing people with lighter fluid and setting them ablaze. It seems that this is a relatively new phenomenon and it seems to be happening with more frequency these days, but is that a figment of media attention (or media overreporting)? Cannot recall this happening when I was a kid.

    Maybe I have turned into one of those old guys who shake their fists at the youngsters.

    "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" I think was the slogan, but yeah, tough on the victims of crime alright, the victim gets squat.

    We need a vigilante on our streets, Ghost Rider style, clean up the mess that the gubment doesn't bother to attent to - because, shock horror,(QUOTE]

    Vigilante? We jus need to get Vinnie Jones`s number and explain to him in alot of depth what happened and sure as hell he would go have a word..Ah my favourite euphimism for flesh splattering.

    Now let's please leave race out of this...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    It has nothing to do with race, Neil and you know it. Do you remember the Paris thing, with all the "gangs of youths?" Or the "racist attackers" who beat up that one dude in front of a hotel?

    Don't pull the "hiss, racist!" card about you, you know it's a valid question. And last I heard, Islam wasn't a race.
