[img]http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/71473000/jpg/_71473191_homelessattackcomp.jpg[/img] [quote]Kane Price, 15, and Ashley Farrow, 18, used a wooden chair leg to beat Vladimirs Kazlausks, 54, who was sleeping rough in a Newport underpass. They were found guilty of grievous bodily harm by a jury last month. Price, was sent to a young offenders institute for seven-and-a-half years. Farrow was sentenced to six years. Continue reading the main story “ Start Quote You treated your victim as beneath contempt - both show a worrying complete lack of human empathy” Judge Robert Jay Prosecutor The teenagers would normally be entitled to anonymity because of their age, but Judge Robert Jay identified them because of the ferocity of their attack. He said: "You treated your victim as beneath contempt - both show a worrying complete lack of human empathy. "You both know what you did that evening - although you are continuing to deny it. "The victim was completely helpless and couldn't have found himself in a more exposed position. "You both regarded him as easy game but the law treats everyone as being equally deserving of respect and dignity." He added: "The victim was left for dead. You thought he might be dead and he certainly might've died." Price, who led the attack, had only just turned 15 when he beat Latvian-born Mr Kazlausks into a coma with a wooden chair leg in May, and Farrow was 17. Prosecutor Michael Jones said: "It was a brutal and gratuitous attack by two young boys on a vulnerable homeless man. "With repeated use of a wooden chair leg they tried to kill him and left him for dead. "They didn't value his life." Mr Kazlausks was left in a coma for a week with multiple face fractures, but survived. However he has lost the sight in one of his eyes.[/quote] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-25186965[/url] Brutal.

Why can't they ignore the homeless guy? Why [del]kill[/del] hurt them? I don't get it.

There are a couple homeless people in particular around my area I've thought I could do without but those were just happy thoughts. Obviously from the picture there's something wrong with those kids, possibly one's name being Ashley.

I just noticed that the left guy looks some someone from my school who thinks he's the toughest. But once someone else agrees to fight with him he just pussies out and runs away. Nobody takes him serious and nobody knows why he is saying stuff like that.

Also: [quote]"You both know what you did that evening - although you are continuing to deny it.[/quote] [quote]Price (left) and Farrow boasted about what they had done[/quote] Smart.

Why would you boast about beating a homeless sleeping man? Is it supposed to be some sort of acheivement?

I think it is good that they get punished for what they did, i wish that the Swedish government would update our laws to be more modern. If this would've happened in Sweden there's sadly a big chance that they'd get away with it easily. It's a shame that the poor bastard comatized and that he lost his eyesight on one of the eyes, he didn't deserve that.

He was beat into a coma by 7 guys, yet 5 of those went free and the 2 that didn't didn't even get jail time.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;43046020]Fyi, Ashley is a common boy's name in England.[/QUOTE] You do realize this happened in Wales, right. I think you're confusing "England" with "United Kingdom" like a lot of people do :v:

[QUOTE=Plaster;43045975]Why can't they ignore the homeless guy? Why [del]kill[/del] hurt them? I don't get it.[/QUOTE] If you try to find a reason why they did it that doesn't involve 'yeah this sounds cool', 'it's just a homeless guy so who cares', 'fuck the poor' or something along those lines, you'll just hurt yourself, so don't even bother trying. Some people are just nuts enough to think it's a good idea to beat up random homeless people because it's fun. Except in Mumbai, India, a fellow staved in the heads of 13 homeless people with huge stones, but was never caught. Just putting this out there.

sickening

I can't tell which one is the 15 year old and which one is the 18 year old in the picture

Someone needs to beat them to death with a stick. Look like mugs.

[QUOTE=Plaster;43045975]Why can't they ignore the homeless guy? Why [del]kill[/del] hurt them? I don't get it.[/QUOTE] Because they're evil bastards who thought they could get away with it.

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;43051131]did any of those guys re-offend?[/QUOTE] Not yet afaik, it happened pretty resently.

[QUOTE=Plaster;43045975]Why can't they ignore the homeless guy? Why [del]kill[/del] hurt them? I don't get it.[/QUOTE] it's easier to get away with. homeless people generally don't have family, or family that really checks up on them otherwise they would probably be living with that family. nobody really checks up on the homeless. disappearances are rarely reported or heavily investigated. basically the homeless population is treated as trash by society so they become targets for violence.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;43046020]Fyi, Ashley is a common boy's name in England.[/QUOTE] Ashley was originally a male name and stayed that way everywhere until recently Besides, what do you all think [i]Ash[/i] from Pokemon was probably short for
