4 Arrested in Columbia University Assaults

Garbage kids like these are the reason there used to be trapdoors over the East River. Might I suggest a "Back To The Future" field prosecution?

Why would these kids be charged with a hate crime? Doesn't everyone know yet that black people aren't capable of being racist since they are not empowered?

Wickedson...Can you read my mind too?

I bet these kids parents will sue the city for their own kids disobedience, i mean the schools should of done a better job of keeping their attention and prevent them from the falling through the cracks. Sue the city !!!!

"Gang assault" is simply an assault committed by three or more people. There doesn't have to be any organized "gang," in the Crips and Bloods sense, involved.

Hate crime charges?

Tar Baby is being sarcastic geniuses...

Also, a good Louisville Slugger would have done the job against them.

See these were probably just some teen punks, if they were gang members the assaults would be much bloodier and worse.

These are the kind of teen punks that are the result of bad parenting or lack of.

My question is indeed, where are the parents?

Steven

That's the problem. We need blood guilt laws. Parents should be fully responsible for the crimes of their children, no matter what the severity.

Your child does the crime, and you do the time.

Those kids parents are probably no where to be found as well or don't even know where their children are.

"Can a group of 16yo even be considered a gang? What harm can they really do? They're just kids."

Uhhhh....where have you been lately? The only people I ever see/experience mugging and attacking others on the streets of NY are teenagers.

Did you read about the attacks Tar Baby? Maybe you get off on having twelve stitches in the head and stitches in the mouth but most people don't enjoy it.

Tar Baby

The typical soldier in the American Revolution was 16 years old.

Can a group of 16yo even be considered a gang? What harm can they really do? They're just kids.

but back in the 80's we didn't have surveillance cameras everywhere. these were clear nightime vids.

is there crime on the riverside drive side of CU?

now all cops gotta do is ask for the videotape and case is solved.

You can just smell the desperation of ides and TSOL...

#6 gang violence is much worse than the 80s and early 90s. You have been reading too many true crime novels to think otherwise. It is a huge problem.

Props for at least one having a first name starting with De, Da, La, or Le.

Hate crime? I'm sure it was just coincidence that most of the people they ran into were Asian. Let's not turn this into a racial issue, please.

#4- C'mon now, gang violence is not as prevalent as it was in the 80's and 90's. Now it's mostly dumb teenagers, back then it was 30 year olds and shit. I blame the NYPD for sweeping up all the asian gangs in the early 90's. back then people were scared of asians. You never knew if they were frying dragons or ghost shadows or BTK. Now the asians have been clockwork oranged by the authorities and left defenseless.

DeShaun?

For every five or six the cops pick up, twenty more are still roaming the streets...

Gang assault? How about HATE CRIME.

I ♥ video camera justice.

They were just overly enthusiastic ACORN volunteers trying to register a few last minute voters in the Asian community. All a misunderstanding you see, they were simply reaching out. It's racist of you to believe otherwise.
