- lpmiller, on 03/13/2008, -7/+327Some people are so wrong in the head you can't even begin to beat the stupid out of them. I don't care how drunk or high they were, this is inborn evil.
- nahsrocketeer75, on 03/13/2008, -9/+208In general, I agree with the notion that juvenile suspects should not be named in the press and should not be tried/punished as adults. Here, I would make an exception. Hope they go away for a long, long time.
- akash8m, on 03/13/2008, -25/+197Sorry wrong comment posted above. It was for a different article.
- Civil44, on 03/13/2008, -2/+150Been hearing about alot of UK beating deaths by youths recently.
- FyreGoddess, on 03/13/2008, -12/+136There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
- LKeithLutz, on 03/13/2008, -16/+129I haven't found myself favoring the death penalty for youths before, but after this there is no question in my mind that in this modern world, old world mechanisms might be all that can be universally understood. When you surrender your civility and humanity, you deserve no better treatment than a feral animal: pitiable but ultimately it cannot reenter society.
- richmessenger, on 03/13/2008, -2/+111What the ***** is wrong with kids today?? I'm not saying everyone has to love everyone, but come on! We can't just not kill people? It's such a simple concept.
- pathy, on 03/13/2008, -8/+109I despise the UK now.
I was born there, raised there, and I consider myself above almost all, British - but not the way these ***** thugs are.
Britain has become infested more and more now with chav and yob culture, and it is utterly destroying what was left of one of the greatest countries to have ever existed. Gone are the days that the British are looked to for intellectual wit and class, no sir, today we're populated by loud, beer swilling, fighting, uneducated , fat, lazy slobs that watch football and use their team names as an excuse to argue, which is the height of their discussions.
It sickens me when things like this happen, I experienced these ***** growing up and it's just getting worse, and worse. - sagat, on 03/13/2008, -1/+76British Chav culture is out of control.
- matt2m, on 03/13/2008, -5/+80"The court heard Miss Lancaster's facial injuries were so severe, paramedics did not know what sex she was."
How the *****
Something not thought about is yes you beat someone up. You get battery charges but their should be a criminal charge for brain damage because yes you will live but in what state? a vegetable for the rest of you life? a wheel chair? retardation? That's worse than death that's hell on earth I rather die. That guy has to live with this for the rest of his life and I was him I would would feel horrible that my girl died because she came to my side I would be wishing she ran away not that its his fault. - inactive, on 03/13/2008, -2/+63"Someone really has to figure out a way to fix this or the death toll will just keep rising."
That's easy: RAISE YOUR ***** KIDS. - matthewjhughes, on 03/13/2008, -15/+76I hope those ***** suffer. I hope they get raped so much in prison that they have to use a tampon for anal leakage. Bastards.
- tehbored, on 03/13/2008, -5/+64Wow, all these drunken beatings in the UK are becoming a pretty severe problem. This doesn't seem to happen as frequently in other countries. Someone really has to figure out a way to fix this or the death toll will just keep rising.
- pianomahnn, on 03/13/2008, -13/+64I'm thinking 5 dudes who were chillin' smoking bowls wouldn't have done this.
Yea for alcohol!!!!! - TotalHalibut, on 03/13/2008, -4/+49England is plagued with yob culture and alcohol problems, which is the reason I don't want to go back and live there. You literally have gangs of youths roaming the streets at night who will attack you for no reason just because they can. There are places that you just don't go unless you're in a group.
- chicoer2001, on 03/13/2008, -6/+50Life in prison seems good for them. Maybe they get the ***** kicked out of them.
- mcse2k3, on 03/13/2008, -10/+54Stamped to death?
On a more serious note, that was f'ing ridiculous to kill someone over their appearance. Pure ignorance! They should be punished in the same way. Eye for an eye...... - romistrub, on 03/13/2008, -2/+46You make a good point, but lordy... you need to take an English class.
- blackinthmiddle, on 03/13/2008, -7/+47Being drunk can't excuse why 5 guys felt the need to beat on a girl. I can't believe at least one of them, even drunk got some sense and tried to stop things. I can't think of any explanation they'd give that would be satisfactory. If I were the judge, I wouldn't even want to hear their side of things. Just go to jail forever.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -7/+47Go back to myspace.
- crapple, on 03/13/2008, -5/+43You don't kill a rabid dog to deter other rabid dogs, you kill a rabid dog to remove it from society.
- KSUdesigner, on 03/13/2008, -0/+37Being high does not necessarily mean you smoked marijuana. You can get high from cocaine, heroin, lsd, etc.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -7/+43welcome to the UK
- staxofmax, on 03/13/2008, -9/+40Word of advice; if you enjoy having friends or having gainful employment, the next time you get the urge to make a joke like this, bury it deep down inside where no one will ever find it. You may not be able to change the fact that you are a complete piece of *****, but it's in your best interest that nobody knows about it. No offense.
- Impeller, on 03/13/2008, -1/+32What the ***** is wrong with the U.K. I hear about this kind of stories every day, 15 year old's punching and kicking "adults" to death.
- drlha, on 03/13/2008, -1/+31Dugg because pointing out A Clockwork Orange shows that this sort of thing is not a new phenomenon in the UK.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -1/+30"Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man."
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -25/+53Unfortunately, the "experts" in the UK will spend countless hours explaining how it was society's fault, or it was the way they were raised, or the way they were dressed, or the fact that the kids were drunk. Sad. They should be executed. There is way too much human debris like this in the world today.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -5/+33Kill em. There is no coming back from an act like that.
- staxofmax, on 03/13/2008, -19/+47Right, because the death penalty we have here in the US has been such an effective deterrent to crime....
In all seriousness, the problem is no justice system is 100% infallible. Even if a justice system is 99% accurate, is it worth executing one innocent person for every ninety-nine guilty people killed, just to satisfy a society's need for revenge? Granted, this crime is absolutely horrific. But allowing our baser instincts to dictate our actions does not make the world any better. - hotpuck6, on 03/13/2008, -0/+28Clockwork Orange....prophecy?
- TheReject, on 03/13/2008, -21/+48This article is clearly fake. Everyone knows that there is no murder since they banned guns.
- ventralnet, on 03/13/2008, -12/+38They should be disposed of (executed). There is no coming back from such a savage act.
- scottnash, on 03/13/2008, -1/+26Deterrent? Well, death would surely deter this group from ever doing it again
- NeverOffside, on 03/13/2008, -0/+25While you statement is true of some parts of the UK, it was also true 30 years ago when I was a lad growing up in the north of England. Only then we didn't have to web or 24hr news channels to hear about it constantly.
- zengonzo, on 03/13/2008, -0/+24Some people just don't give a ***** about their kids, or are ***** themselves. There's a cycle to it somewhat.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -2/+26GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
- Hermiod, on 03/13/2008, -1/+24Not amazing at all. British names tend to have these sorts of roots.
- DiggzDE, on 03/13/2008, -7/+30Ooh. Moon exploration. How'd you know that was EXACTLY what I was looking to watch.
- silentarcher, on 03/13/2008, -5/+27Life in prison is worse than the death penalty. Imagine what will happen when those boys meet Bubba, the 300 pound goth inmate waiting to make them his bitches.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -8/+29Obviously hate is the answer to all these problems.
/sarcasm - GramarNatzi, on 03/13/2008, -0/+20Our youth culture seems to breed sociopaths.
- inkyblue2, on 03/13/2008, -0/+20yes, the villains in this story are definitely the goth kids, not the drunken murdering *****.
- JedicodeWarrior, on 03/13/2008, -4/+22" A 15-year-old boy kicked and stamped to death a woman because she was dressed as a Goth ..."
Take the punk out and let him suffer as much as the woman did. You just can't fix stupid! - EggSaladKing, on 03/13/2008, -2/+20And people say America's youth culture is bad...
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -5/+21We need to hate someone, and these kids are a nice target.
- jdfalk, on 03/13/2008, -9/+25Man if only those gangs of youths knew that every few adults had a gun or a taser and if they tried that ***** they would get what was coming to them....... ohh wait.
- pigsbladder, on 03/13/2008, -0/+16I knew this story was from the uk as soon as I read the title. Being different in the UK doesn't bode well with the chavs.
- aiten, on 03/13/2008, -2/+18I couldn't agree more. It's stupid, and it needs to be fixed, now.
