Boys Attack Cyclist Who Fights Back, Kills 1

[one-eyed fat man]

57. Unpleasant youths indeed. No evidence of intent to kill anyone.

As we may surmise from your postings you are, "...of a certain age." How much of an ass-whipping are you willing to take at the hands of "unpleasant youth" to avoid damaging their psyches or the hand wringing and wails of lament from the mommas they so dearly loved? Bruises? Cuts not requiring stitches? Broken bones? Would it be different if they stopped beating you after they had gotten your wallet and valuables? What if they beat you because you had too little cash?

That they targeted elderly, I would class them as callous, and indifferent at best and as vicious and predatory at worst. They likely didn't care what damage they caused. It is just as likely had the old man died they would have had a jolly time laughing over it. How much cash do they suspect some pensioner getting a little exercise would have on him? It's not like they were knocking over the Bank of England.

Johnson had a criminal record and was on probation at the time of the incident. He was even on electronic monitoring, officials said.

Seems like Johnson had already decided to embark on a "life of crime." As it turned out, it didn't last all that long.
