[niyad]

23. the rest of you can talk about hammers vs guns. there is a point in the article that nobody

else is mentioning:



A tip to Crimeline has led to the arrests of two men in a brutal beating that occurred a week ago in the Midway community east of Sanford.

Julius Ricardo Bender, 18, and Yahaziel Isaac Israel, 19, face charges of attempted first-degree murder, burglary with assault or battery and armed burglary.

A witness told deputies he heard someone screaming for help and saw two men pull the victim from his vehicle. He said he watched as one man held the victim and the other beat him in the head with a hammer.

After they dragged the victim into the woods, the men drove away in his sport utility vehicle, which was later found abandoned about a half-mile away on Garbo Jack Lane.



there was an eye-witness to this horrendous event and that person did not call the police immediately. (no, I would not expect that person to try to intervene, but why in the HELL were the police not called immediately? a week later an anonymous tip is called in. A WEEK LATER????? what the HELL is the matter with people?
