News of interest

More of the dark underbelly of society in the news today, unfortunately. Yes, Rambix focuses on crime reporting and nasty things like killer priests, but plans are in the works to balance the bad by reporting something good the Red Star does. As soon as that happens.

Here's a story that is so sad that there really isn't any pleasure in the fact that the assailants were caught: "Two charged in baseball bat beating". If you see a picture of the victim, a skinny young kid, it breaks your heart. In Texas these gangsters might be on death row. In Minnesota, they will probably be on the streets before they turn 30. Reading this might make you sick:

Michael Duong was having a seizure, shaking on the ground, the victim of many baseball-bat blows to his head. But at least two suspects who mistook the 13-year-old for a Bloods gang member didn't stop there, according to charges filed Tuesday.

They say that after Julio C. Robles, 17, beat the boy, Jose M. Ramirez, also 17, then kicked him at least twice, yelling, "South Side," referring to the suspects' allegiance to the South Side Sureno 13 street gang.
Only a liberal could love these animals. There's nothing more to say.

And here's more on the killer priest (The Red Star still hasn't reported all the facts): "Transcript of police interview with Rev. Ryan Erickson on Nov. 11"
