I don't get this. Seems nature brings out 'nurture' of the defenseless in most of us. Why would this poor woman be attacked?

Chester Police: All 6 Female Suspects In Videotaped Beating In Custody

September 28, 2012 6:30 PM

By Tim Jimenez, Diana Rocco, Todd Quinones

CHESTER, Pa. (CBS) — Authorities in Chester say all six suspects have been arrested in connection with the videotaped beating of a mentally challenged woman. (See Related Story)


The suspects have been identified as Takia Edwards, Anye Dennis, Rahmirayah Henderson, Jasmir Womack and sisters Jamia Davis and Jonyea Bell.


It was an attack “for fun,” according to police. Authorities say a group of girls, ages 16 and 17, punched and kicked the 48-year-old mentally challenged woman as she was sitting in front of her home.


The victim then tried to get back inside, but police say the girls followed her, continuing the attack that lasted about a minute and a half.


During the attack, the teens could be heard laughing and screaming obscenities while the victim screamed for them to stop.


Police say the incident happened earlier this week and was recorded on one of the suspects’ cell phones, then posted on Facebook.


The victim did not come forward to police, but she has now received medical attention. Police say her physical injuries were not serious.


“It’s just unbearable and we won’t tolerate this,” Chester Mayor John Linder said...

Also high school girls. These are the majority of young people, regardless of headlines.

It kind of puts George Zimmerman into perspective, doesn't it?

[Trigg]

Why??? Because they're animals who spare no thought for other people.

Animals is the exact word I was going to use. Sounds like they'll try to use this "pack mentality" as a temporary insanity defense.

I see some variation of this story all the time....

The question they're asking themselves isn't "Why?"

It's; "Why not?"

And if they ask you "Why not?" what do you tell them?

You beat the shit out of them and ask them how they liked it.

I drive by Chester, and have used the hospital there on occasion. It's a very nasty area.

And that makes it ok?? Just because an area is "nasty" does not give the residents carte blanche to do as they wish..

I know you're not saying that Abbey. It's a nasty area because the ANIMALS have won and no one will put the deseased and defective animals down!!!! We need a lot more swift and immediate jsutice in my opinion..

I'd seen that the mother of the two girls mentioned in the article appeared to be Muslim. This though seems more on the level of street gangs. The fact though that your article says one of the girls threatened to 'firebomb' a patrol car does give pause.

[Mr. P]

Police say they are getting no cooperation from the girls, whom they describe as arrogant and defiant, even threatening to fire bomb a police officer's car.

Give em a year in jail to work on their attitude.

[Dilloduck]

It's their culture but the excuse is that they are poor. Don't insult their race or there will be riots.

[tailfins]

Give em a year in jail to work on their attitude.

Are you going liberal on us? A year in jail for threatening to firebomb a cop car? That should be an additional felony. Each violent felony should get 4-8 years each if convicted.

[gabosaurus]

You beat the shit out of them and ask them how they liked it.

Yes, let's invoke Sharia Law on them. Then we make them wear burqas to school for a month.
