That article really upset me when I read it earlier today. I hate that so many people see the homeless as somehow less than human. This sort of thing should (and probably is) be prosecuted as a hate crime because that's exactly what it is.
These kids are sick mother****ers that think they can get away with this sort of thing because the homeless can be pretty defenseless. My only hope is that they get put in an adult prison so they can learn what it feels like to be pissed on by society like the people that they attacked.
And that's my rant for now.

While I agree with you, AMD. The problem is, in many peoples eyes, especially law enforcement, homeless people are the best targets. A lot of killers kill the homeless and hookers. Why? No families, no one missing them, no one pressuring the cops to find their killer. They're easy targets because there's no one out there to support them after that.
That said. I can't think of a much worse place to be homeless than Milwaukee. Jesus. Must be terrible in the winter.
As far as the moral degradation of society, I think we're simplifying things too much. The human mind has been perverse since we've been around. As mentioned earlier: the Romans feeding prisoners to the lions, or any of the countless atrocities committed in multiple God's names.
You can say sure, society is moving along and getting worse and worse. But what about the filth spewed just 50 years ago. Rock and roll causes incest? I mean come on! That's ridiculous. This same artist was the Super Bowl act this year.
While parents being around, etc means a lot. I think people that blame video games, music, or movies on the state of society need to get a real check. I've never met anyone who came out of a violent movie and then went to buy a gun. It just doesn't work like that, as a society we are evolving. You can decide if you like it or not. I'm all for it.
