  • Crime needs punishment

    I'm assuming that most of the people reading this have heard about the vicious beating of Lakeland, Florida 16-year-old, Victoria Lindsay by six girls (ages 14 through 17) with two males (one teen and one "adult" of 18) as guards outside the house in which the beating occurred and was video taped.
