Boston timmies take it to a new level

Here is a local story about an attack on an illegal immigrant in the Boston area. Most of the article is focused on this as a racist attack on an illegal immigrant. What distresses me (but somehow doesn't surprise me) is how little shock/dismay/outrage there is over the fact that these attackers were 11-14 years old. These are the timmies we deal with on games all the time. No one seems really concerned that they casually committed this crime (and may have committed a similar one).

What does it say about us? 1. If our children are our future, then our future may be totally 'effed. and 2. We as a society have fallen far when heinous crimes committed by 'kids' are so commonplace. As a parent of a 13 and 11 year old, I am afeared for the world they will live in.

"we have met the enemy and he is us"

LYNN - Damian Merida was the seventh of 11 children born in a thatched-roof house with a dirt floor in Guatemala. He was just a boy when he left, following his brothers to the United States because their village had little food, no medicine, no work, and no future.
