[quote=Article]CONWAY, Ark. - The video is disturbing. A 16-year-old boy flashes two middle fingers to the camera. On one hand, he's wearing brass knuckles. Then, he winds up and delivers a devastating punch to a victim with his back turned.
When the victim is on the ground, the suspect delivers three more blows to the head.
...
In an arrest affidavit, police say the victim -- who is just 12 years old -- suffered a [B]"bruised right eye, cut on his neck and broken teeth."[/B]
[B]The victim told police he "did not know the person that hit him."[/B]
While prosecutors describe the victim's injuries as "serious," he is expected to recover.[/quote]

What the fuck, fucking psycho.
Let's play Spot the Psychopath!
Holy shit, that video is fucking brutal.
[QUOTE]Millsaps' mother said he deals with mental issues and previously spent a year and a half at the juvenile detention center for fighting.[/QUOTE]
Seems like it's not a one time thing either.
Throwing away your entire future because you wanted to viciously attack someone like an animal. :goodjob:
I recall reading somewhere that he thought his mouth was full of gravel when he came to -- what actually turned out to be the remnants of his shattered teeth.
I wonder what the hell is going on in this kid's life to have sent him down such a violent path?
Aaaannnd off to the loony bin with him. That's a psychopath right there.
he should be, he was clearly trying to kill the guy.
3 blows to the head with brass knuckles after the guy is already on the ground.
the comments section of this article is full of... [URL="http://i.imgur.com/7HQj7gP.png"]passionate[/URL] gentlemen I'll say that much

It appears as if the kid had an obsession with fighting / having a tough guy persona but was too cowardly or lazy to put in the effort required to be a "tough guy" and went the route of "Let's bust a kid in the head with brass knuckles when he's turned around."
it's just a prank
What the fuck? This is my town, I haven't heard a word about this.

The comments are something else

Well, yeah, but excepting mental illness, people aren't just born like that. Kid clearly has some serious issues, and I can't help but wonder what his life is like to have fucked him up this bad.
Good.
What a prick.

No really, who the fuck goes up to a random person minding their own and just fucking beats them with brass knuckles.
Who fucking does that.
in Scotland 16 you are seen as an adult, so I'd say its justified.
Who the fuck punches someone they've never met, from behind, with fucking brass knuckles and then continue to punch them on the ground..?

his mother did say he deals with mental issues
though psychopathy doesn't count as a mental illness from what i've read
[QUOTE=The golden;50709191]rehab.[/QUOTE]
I really would like to see the kind of rehab that can fix someone this fucked up, but I'm not sure it exists.
And there we have a violent criminal in the making. Like most such cases, his experience in prison will likely just give him a sense of normalcy. Once people like that overcome the initial dread of prison, they usually come to learn that it's not so bad being inside by the time they start their second sentence. Most sociopaths turned violent criminal just see it as part of their life, hurting others, perhaps getting caught, doing time, repeat.
I'm not saying he's the actual victim though. That would be the the kid with his teeth in splinters and god knows whoever else will cross his path in the future. But this 16 year old kid is probably not getting any more bearable for society in the future. And there's just no simple answer. Sure, what he needs is normalcy. There are ways to treat people like him that will be more likely to bear a positive result but realistically, there are also many reasons why that is not very likely to happen. It's weird to think that we're potentially watching a very bleak and tragic thing developing in the middle of society and it's even got it's own news report. But there is not a whole lot that can happen any time soon to avoid situations like that. People always call for simple, buzzword solutions like Therapy, Life Sentence or Fucking kill that Animal but none of that is helping. There are very good explanations for why things are turning out the way they do and the changes needed to make it go any other way are many tiny things scattered all throughout abstract concepts like 'The justice system', 'society' or 'The Government'. Man, that's depressing.

A 16 year old can't get life for punching a person, that's my point. Generally, I agree, life sentences are a valid solution
Choo choo the crazy train is leaving the station.

Some are just born evil.
What's the point in having juvenile punishments if you're just going to try people that break those laws as adults any way

Juveniles are not prosecuted for committing crimes, but rather delinquent acts. When the delinquent acts are very serious, they may be considered crimes and the juvenile may be tried in the adult system. In the adult system, the goal is to punish. In the juvenile system, on the other hand, the goal is to rehabilitate and serve the minor's best interest.
Having a history of delinquent behavior and being through the detention system already doesn't spell much good for him. What he did was clearly criminal intent, just because he's not legally adult doesn't mean he can pull a juvenile card to get off more leniently for something that serious.

anyone else having trouble loading the video?
I wonder how many of those 20 potential years he'll actually serve. It's easy to get off with much lighter sentences when you're so young, but I'm not so sure about this one.
A sociopath is more often than not a person who commits violence randomly, not a psychopath. And there are many other disorders this man could be suffering from. anyways i think he definitely deserves to be locked up, but when he comes out he will probably be the same again.

I wouldn't be too quick to say that- people say that a lot, but many times the problem is all with the child and the parents are desperately trying to fix them to no avail. Most parents would flip out if their kid started throwing his life away, and to be honest he is just a kid who doesn't have all his mental faculties yet. It's just shitty that he decided to pretty much throw away his life and do such a horrible thing so that he could be a "fighter".
Something tells me that if even one person had caught him in the act and beaten the shit out of him that he would lose that "tough guy" wannabe mentality immediately. Maybe being tried as an adult and given punishment will bring him to his senses.
