Security Guards Dies After 12 Year Old Hits Her

2005_12_sgdeath.jpgA school safety agent died of a heart attack after escorting an unruly girl from a school dance in Brooklyn on Friday night. Reports say that Vivian Samuels had to deal with the 12 year old girl's flailing/ pummeling/ striking arms, and that she collapsed afterwards. Safety agents are civilian employees of the NYPD, and Samuels was affectionately known at IS 390 in Crown Heights. The girl has been charged with striking Samuels twice, and will appear in Family Court today; she also faces resisting arrest and harassment charges. The ME's office is still investgating the cause of death, and Samuels' two sons, who are ministers in Brooklyn, are praying for the little girl.

this is a good reason to reintroduce capital punishment back to the state of NY

Why are the brothers praying for the little girl? They should be praying for the security guard, and teaching the dumb girl how to behave.

Because the minister brothers (who are the security guards sons) are Protestants, so they don't believe in praying for the dead. So they're praying for the perp, for whom they think it can't do some good.
