Teens find crime doesn't pay - stun-gun homeless
Cleveland - Four teenagers were charged with attacking homeless people with a stun-gun as they slept and videotaping the assaults.

Police said the teenagers carried out attacks on at least six homeless people sleeping on park benches or in doorways.

"I've never seen anything like it in 18 years, except on TV," said Sergeant Ray Burner. "Did you ever see the movie "Jackass?' Well, that's essentially what we're talking about."

Joshuah Langenheim, 19, was charged on Saturday with assault. Three other teenagers, all juveniles, were released into their parents custody and will face delinquency assault charges.

2. See . . . if homeless people had guns, they could defend themselves
against these little shits. <sarcasm> Isn't that what the NRA would say?

3. And...
I wish those homeless people did have guns (though I respect their choice not to own a gun), as they could have taught these punks a lesson.

The law does not equally protect homeless people in most venues, much like the law does not protect gay people in certain venues, hence armed self-protecion is a good thing, not a bad thing to be mocked.

4. Dead teenagers don't shoot paintballs . . .
Teach 'em a little bit of a lesson. They'll be dead, but it's good for them.

These fools are in a shitload of trouble. Not only are all local pols up in arms about this, Kucinich is set to chime in on the charges. They are going to nail these punks to the wall.
