Stomped and punched in the head, body slammed. Any of those could have resulted in death.

They put it on social media and probably got a lot of high fives for it. No one should kid themselves. They're proud of what they did.

$2,500 bail and set loose, might as well give them their 'get out of jail' for life card now. Them and all their little pals who won't be punished either.
