Those kids don't look so tough and full of themselves anymore. A few days in jail, and now a trip to the county lock-up, and them being kept away from each other, has obviously been a wake-up call.

Their punishment, and their education - no matter how this ends up ajudicated - starts now. From strip and body cavity searches, to protective custody lockdowns (23 hours in and 1 hour out), until this becomes yesterdays news - and this is a story that will continue to pop up here and there - to getting to go through all those court proceedings where prosecuters will demand "life" as a media play, leading to a harsher sentence deals, but will be very real to young teenagers, dang..... they deserve all of this to be sure, but it ain't fun and you can tell the kids already feel a bit of the reality. They will either learn, or they really are sociopaths.

I am familiar with this system. The redeemable kids who got caught up in the pack mentality will learn a terribly harsh (but deserved) lesson. The other ones get to play the revolving door prison thing for probably the rest of their lives. There was one of the boys, and one of the girls, who seem to fit this description.

I saw a portion of the video on Oreilly and could not believe my eyes. I could never stomach the gang mentality or beating up on the helpless. It makes me so mad I can barely take it. I almost wish I could take one of those boys and make them feel what that girl felt as I am sure we all would. I have no doubt that they are feeling that behind those jail house walls. If it is anything like the shoe in phoenix then they are in a large room with 150 or more of there closest buddies and some of them are really scary. Those being kept in juvie dont have it any better as I am sure Scott can attest to. As a Father I would flip if someone did that to my kids but if my kids did it to someone else it would be much worse for them.

Flop The Nuts

Definition of irony - they were trying to shield their faces during the trial. Conversely, they were threatening to post the beatdown video on youtube.

Show your faces, little hoodlums.

Ugly -

I am pretty sure the kids are segregated in a lock-down type situation. They have a little bit too much notariety to get tossed in the dorms yet. Too dangerous.
