^ this is a story about a guy in his first year of a 30 - 50 year sentence for beating a toddler to death. The prisoner -age 35, 6'2" and 265 pounds- died of what appear to be blood clots in the lungs. In the comments related to the story it is speculated that a person beaten hard can develop clots in the lungs, ergo his death. Is this possible? This guy being beaten unto death?

The Detroit City Council today unanimously passed an ordinance requiring digital surveillance equipment at gas stations, upgrades that could have provided a clearer image of the suspects involved in the beating of a motorist who hit a Detroit boy last week.

The city ordinance sets minimum standards for the specifications and placement of video equipment at Detroit self-serve gas stations. The standards will have to be met for gas stations to renew their annual licenses.

The 17 year old was mistakenly released but then picked up again and is being held on a $500K bond. They are so going to fuck this kid (after they buy him dinner, of course). I can't see him doing less than 20 years if convicted, but that'll still get him out at an age which will allow plenty opportunity for more crimes and stupidity.

In other news, the case of the Army vet won't be prosecuted because he not only instigated the whole thing but he followed his assailants for a mile to ensure a further beating. I thought his story was flaky from the get go.

I did too. People just don't go after people associated with the military anymore. In the (almost) 25 years since I've been out, the only problem I ever had was getting pointed out and called a bunch of names by a bunch of crazies protesting the war while wearing my field jacket on WSU's campus during Gulf War I....
You don't get the shit beat out of you just for being a vet.

That being said, this guy is a douche and needs an extended blanket party

Just a day before her 47th birthday, this mother thought she was going to die.

After visiting with family Tuesday night in Detroit she got on the road and headed to her children's house with her cousin trailing behind her. Along the way her cousin lost track of her.

The next thing the victim remembers is being in the middle of the street on Detroit's east side without her shoes, purse or car.

"I just kept saying, 'What happened? What happened,'" she said.

Police say two men snatched her from her car, beat her up and drove off with her boyfriend's 1997 gold, two-door Cadillac Eldorado.

She doesn't remember much about the attack but she has the injuries to prove it was viscous. She spent two days in the hospital.

"I have fractured nose. I had to wear a collar. I have two bruises on my face, bruises on my arm. I have bruises all the way up my left side, very, very numb," she said.

As police search for the carjackers, this woman plans to celebrate her birthday this weekend with family and friends. She is grateful for the gift of life.

"The car can be replaced. The purse can be replaced. All of that, but my life can't," she said.

During Monday’s hearing court deputies admonished onlookers for talking. One man was removed from the courtroom.

Saffold made a obscene gesture to a photographer. A group who described themselves as relatives of the defendants laughed when Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Lisa Lindsey read aloud Saffold’s description of how the mob kicked and punched Utash.

One witness, Anton Sykes, argued with visiting 36th District Court Judge Thomas Jackson and refused to give a statement about what happened at the beating scene. As he argued with the judge, several onlookers laughed and said “yeah!” and “you tell him!”

“It’s just like everybody’s mad here in Detroit,”

The teen struggled and was able to break free. She says she used her sharp nails to poke the suspect in the eye. The teen eventually made it to school where she told her teachers about the close encounter. Her family has since filed a police report but so far, no arrests. They hope sharing the story will make other girls more alert.

Police: Man assaulted after saying bad things in his sleep

Bozeman, Mont. — Police in Montana say a woman kicked and struck her boyfriend with a shotgun because he said bad things about her in his sleep.

Police tell the Bozeman Daily Chronicle that 24-year-old Sara Ann Bade of Willow Creek was arrested at her home at about 2 a.m. Monday.

She appeared in Gallatin County Justice Court that morning on a felony charge of assault with a weapon.

The boyfriend tells police the two were sleeping when he awoke to Bade kicking him and telling him he was talking in his sleep and saying bad things about her. He said she also shot out his front tire and smashed his windshield when he tried to leave. He wasn’t seriously injured.

Bade says the two had been fighting and her boyfriend struck her and wouldn’t leave when she asked him.

The beating of a gay man was caught on tape at Detroit’s Motor City Pride, a gay and lesbian friendly event, held over the weekend.

The video shows 20-year-old Christin Howard, a gay man, fighting off attackers Sunday along Detroit’s Riverwalk as the gay pride festival happened in nearby Hart Plaza.

Howard says five to eight men attacked him. At one point, all the young men joined in on the attack as Christin was on the ground, helpless.

Howard says the attack was unprovoked and that he was getting a picture taken with a friend when the young men started circling, commenting on his long hair, calling him homophobic slurs and threatening violence.
