Sick, sick, sick. The accused perp named Walker's mother, Ruby, is a real jewel from the looks of her. And his Father said this:
"He acknowledged that he hadn't spent as much time with his son as he should have after parting ways with the boy's mother. But he said his son is shy and timid, and they went to places like the Fun Depot arcade together.
"It's been awhile since I really spent a lot of time with him," the father said. In the meantime, his son has been getting into trouble with the law."
Yea, he went to the arcade with his son probably 10 years ago. I am sick to death of people who take no responsibility for their children. Not that the lack of a father in this boy's life is an excuse for what the teenager has apparently done, but where there is smoke, there is fire, and I don't think any of us is surprised by what these kids home life was like. From the victims standpoint, you have a mother who was raising her son, and trying to live in a violence prone area; doing the best she could. I would just bet you that the reason that they were targeted is the fact that they were Haitian, and the son was not willing to hang with the thugs. If this isn't a hate crime, I don't know what is. I have no sympathy for the thugs that did this....none. They are lower than dogs. In fact, dogs are far superior to this scum.
