This is a disturbing read (news story)
This is some real fucked up sick shit..:mad:
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. â?? Two teenagers were accused of gang raping a woman and forcing her 12-year-old son to join in the attack, then beating him and pouring cleaning solution into his eyes.
Authorities allege Avion Lawson, 14, and Nathan Walker, 16, were among a group of about 10 masked suspects who forced their way into the woman's apartment in a crime-ridden housing project the night of June 18.
The two were being held without bail Friday on suspicion of armed sexual battery by multiple perpetrators, sexual performance by a child, armed home invasion and aggravated battery. Both were arrested this week, but formal charges had not been filed.
"Any rape case is horrible but this takes it to another level, something you can't think of even in your worst dreams," police spokesman Ted White said.
According to the police report, a man knocked on the woman's door at about 9 p.m. and told her he had a flat tire. The mother and son, whom police have not identified, went outside and were ambushed by a group of gun-wielding suspects.
The victims told police they were forced back into their home and beaten and sexually assaulted. According to authorities, the men raped, sodomized and beat the woman, then forced her son to participate in the assault at gunpoint, making him have sex with his mother in front of them.
The boy was then beaten and had numerous household cleaning liquids poured into his eyes, according to the police report.
The suspects also stole a few hundred dollars worth of cash and jewelry, White said.
White said more arrests were pending, but he would not say if authorities had identified additional suspects. The teens in custody were not cooperating, but Lawson confessed to taking part in the attack, White said. Walker has denied involvement, White said.
DNA evidence in a condom found in the victims' home linked Lawson to the crime, police said. Investigators also say they found a palm print belonging to Walker at the scene.
The victims did not suffer life-threatening injuries and have been released from the hospital, White said.
"They're going through the county victim services for counseling," he said.
Lawson lived in Dunbar Village, the hardscrabble project where the attack occurred. Walker was apparently visiting a friend there, White said.
Authorities believe the suspects all knew each other from the neighborhood, but they don't think they knew the victims directly.
Prosecutors have 21 days from the time a suspect is arrested to formally file charges. Lawson was arrested Tuesday. Walker was arrested Thursday.
A call to Lawson's public defender was not immediately returned. It was not known if Walker has an attorney.

Scary and awful. Those poor victims. I think I'll move this to Current Events, where it'll be available to people who want to read the latest atrocities and other news but where it won't be presented as big, must-read news on our front page. May also tweak your title just a tad there, Smok3y.

Fla. Mother and Son Are Attacked
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
By BRIAN SKOLOFF and JENNIFER KAY, Associated Press Writers
E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. â?? Mother and son huddled together, battered and beaten, in the bathroom _ sobbing, wondering why no one came to help. Surely the neighbors had heard their screams. The walls are thin, the screen doors flimsy in this violence-plagued housing project on the edge of downtown.
For three hours, the pair say, they endured sheer terror as the 35-year-old Haitian immigrant was raped and sodomized by up to 10 masked teenagers and her 12-year-old son was beaten in another room.
Then, mother and son were reunited to endure the unspeakable: At gunpoint, the woman was forced to perform oral sex on the boy, she later told a TV station.
Afterward, they were doused with household cleansers, perhaps in a haphazard attempt to scrub the crime scene, or maybe simply to torture the victims even more. The solutions burned the boy's eyes.
The thugs then fled, taking with them a couple of hundred dollars' worth of cash, jewelry and cell phones.
In the interview with WPTV, the mother described how she and her son sobbed in the bathroom, too shocked to move. Then, in the dark of night, they walked a mile to the hospital because they had no phone to call for help.
Two teenagers _ a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old _ have been arrested. Eight others are being sought.

Welcome to Dunbar Village, a place residents call hell.
___
"So a lady was raped. Big deal," resident Paticiea Matlock said with disgust. "There's too much other crime happening here."
Built in 1940 to house poor blacks in then-segregated West Palm Beach, Dunbar Village's 226 units sit just blocks from million-dollar condos on the Intracoastal Waterway. Billionaires lounge on beachfront property just a few miles away on Palm Beach.
The public housing project's one- and two-story barracks-style buildings are spread across 17 grassy, tree-lined acres surrounded by an 8-foot iron fence. The average rent is about $150 a month.
Almost 60 percent of the households in the area that includes Dunbar Village were below the poverty level in 2000, according to Census figures. Only 19 percent of the area's residents had high school degrees. About 9 percent of the adults were unemployed, nearly triple the state average.
Teenagers with gold-plated teeth wander the streets. Drug dealers hang out on nearby sidewalks. Trash bin lids are open. Flies hover over dirty diapers. Clothes dry on sagging lines.
Since the June 18 attack, police have increased patrols in the area, blocked off one entrance and will soon install surveillance cameras.
"It took this to make that happen?" Matlock, a 32-year-old single mother of three, snarled.
As in other blighted neighborhoods across the country where criminals seem to have free rein, residents here live in fear. Snitches get stitches, they say. Or worse.
"I try to be in my house no later than 7, and I don't come out," said Citoya Greenwood, 33, who lives in Dunbar with her 4-year-old daughter. "I don't even answer my door anymore." On the Fourth of July, "we didn't know if we was hearing gunshots or fireworks."
___
Avion Lawson, 14, and Nathan Walker, 16, will be charged as adults in the assault and gang rape, prosecutors said. They are jailed without bail.
Lawson's DNA was found in a condom at the crime scene, and he admitted involvement, authorities say. Police say Walker's palm print was discovered inside the home. He denies being there. His attorney says he will plead not guilty. Lawson's public defender did not return telephone messages.
Walker and Lawson did not live at Dunbar but visited often. Lawson stayed with his grandmother there. Walker came to hang out and play basketball. Dunbar has become the place to be for wayward black teens, residents and neighborhood kids say.
Walker and Lawson both grew up mostly fatherless, bouncing between homes. Walker's family sometimes lived in old cars or abandoned houses, said his mother, Ruby Nell Walker.
"We've never really had a real home," said Naporcha Walker, Nathan's 15-year-old sister.
He dropped out of school after spending three years in seventh grade. The family lives on food stamps and recently had to pawn their television and radio, Ruby Walker said.
"I just feel like he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. ... My son is not a rapist," she said.
Ruby Walker said she herself was raped twice, at ages 7 and 12. She said that just days before the Dunbar attack, someone tried to rape her again, and "my son came to me crying and said he wouldn't ever do that to anyone."
She has had her own problems with the law _ at least nine arrests on charges such as disorderly conduct, aggravated assault and battery, according to state records.
Avion Lawson was a headstrong kid, never listening to his mother, said his cousin, Cassandra Ellis.
"I knew he was bad, but I never pictured him to be that type of bad," Ellis said. She said one traumatic experience may have scarred him _ watching his older sister fatally stab a boyfriend.
"It was an accident. She killed her boyfriend. They was fighting, there was a knife," Ellis said. "He was there when it happened."
___
City officials are quick to note that neither Lawson nor Walker lived at Dunbar, and say they are doing their best to make the place safe.
As quickly as overhead lights can be replaced, they are shot out, so officials are now considering bulletproof lighting.
"Isn't that quite a commentary on what the situation is there?" said City Commissioner Molly Douglas, whose district includes part of Dunbar. "Dunbar Village is a hell hole. They shouldn't have to live in fear."
More officers are hitting the streets, but "I just bow my head sometimes and think we just couldn't possibly have enough officers ever to take care of all of this," Douglas said.
Laurel Robinson, head of the city's housing authority, said that up until about four years ago, the federal government provided the city with $160,000 a year for security in public housing projects, but Congress did away with the money.
"Every family housing project in the country has suffered because of it," she said.
____
The rape victim and her son have not returned to their apartment since the attack.
The woman fled Port-au-Prince, Haiti, with her son seven years ago in search of a better life. With no money, they landed in Dunbar. The two almost instantly became targets for crime, standing out as Haitians among the mostly American-born blacks in the housing project. Her car and the boy's bicycle were stolen. Their house was ransacked.
On the night of the attack, she was lured outside by a teenager who knocked on the door and said her car had a flat. Nine more teens, their faces shrouded with T-shirts, barged in, she told authorities. They brandished guns and demanded money, then went beyond the imaginable.
"I was so scared," the woman told WPTV. "Some of them had sex with me twice, some of them had sex with me three times. They're beating me up. They make me do those things over and over. The man with the big gun, he put the gun inside of me."
She said that when she was forced to perform oral sex on her own son, she told the boy: "I know you love me, and I love you, too."
Investigators say it is not clear exactly why the thugs picked her house.
The boy's sight has returned. Both mother and son are seeking counseling.
"I have to try and talk to him every day. He's so angry," the woman said. "He said we never should have moved to Dunbar Village."

Wastes of life like those guys guys who did this are the reason I'm against fully abolishing the death penalty. There should be a whole different category of execution for worthless people like that: Death by savage and prolonged beating. Or maybe we should revive the old ways of doing things, did someone say crucifixion.
We humans are capable of the most horrible things.
"Human beings are at once the ugliest and most beautiful creatures on earth."
Not sure where I heard that but it seems like a pretty apt statement.

Yes, I can.
I used to glorify that life. Not like these criminals but I did my share of stupid shit.
I'm telling you.. they ride around, counting money, smoking blunts, fucking bitches and other shit like that..
they idolize everything "gangster" and the worse the crime the more "gangster"
i'm not talking shit here.... it's the fuckin music.
and it has NOTHING to do with race..
since grade school they listen to the most "gangsta shit" they can find and basically brainwash themselves into thinking that it's the only choice they have and eventually drop-out to sell drugs and some take a liking to theivery...
you can find the source of it all in the gangsta rap scene..
what's worse is that it becomes so common that most inner city children think it's normal.......
gangsta rap "music"

This is a disturbing read (news story)
now im not that big on rap...i like a lot of it but its one of my least favorite types of music...but all i have to say is spoken word....you are a tool. you sound like a fucking right winged bill oreilly(sp?)

This is a disturbing read (news story)
really?? that's okay, some would be flattered to be considered conservative... i consider myself liberal...
and if having a strong opinion against something makes me a tool?
so be it......i guess in ways you are a tool also, you just don't show it but deep down inside, right there at your computer.......you know what you believe in, and it's different from me.... so, thanks for sharing tool.
be yourself jaGerbom....it's only thing you have

This is a disturbing read (news story)
Okay so I reviewed my reply over again to see if maybe I had said anything "wrong" that would mistake me as a "right wing-conservative like bill o'riley" and no..... even my friend here agrees with me, and he's black.
infact, i have plenty of ex-"gangstas" of ALL races that agree with me.
gangsta rap music is destroying urban inner city youth.
i don't see conservative or liberals defending or opposing this issue.... it's nation-wide...
even hip hoppers agree....
and you need to check yourself homeslice because you do not even know me. you do not know what I'm about and REALLY don't know what I've done.
im FAAAAR from "right-wing"
i'm just expressing my opinions that i've had time to think about and it's pretty clear to me now.
again, i am FAAAR from the only one. everyone down here knows it......
gangsta rap music is destroying urban inner city youth.
i'm not saying it's the only thing influencing the violence but it is one of the strongest sources.
they caught a third "innocent and naive" teenager... 3 of 10... and what's funny is the that the young ones are dropping like flies... but the older ones are still hiding....
what sense does that make? let all the youngns go to jail instead of the older ones? it doesn't make any sense but it's the "street-code" LMAO
back to our "innocent" 15 year old getting arrested for raping, beating a son and mother....
he was smiling at the camera and "grilling" it
showing his teeth(which are meant to have gold on them) for those who don't know the gangster vernacular..
so he's grilling the fuckin camera because his mommy taught him how??? or what? why don't you enlighten us with your theories on why this 15 year old boy is "grilling" the media after being arrested for such a horrible crime?....
because he saw it on barney right?
