Did they think they would not be caught or where they saying that they don't mind going to jail for a very long time in order to murder someone who really hadn't done them any harm at all. I just don't get it.

It doesn't really say in the article but as the attackers all pleaded not guilty I think they thought they wouldn't get caught as if they were happy to spend a time in prison wouldn't they have just pleaded guilty?

It's called black yoof killing each other. Be thankful that they keep it in-house and let them get on with it.

Careful Whiffey, you'll have the PC mob spitting out their Organic peace muesli!

What is the boy in the photo carrying?

[paraffin]

Looks like the "victim" is holding a very large bladed lethal weapon in the photograph. Perhaps he was an apprentice butcher?

People who live in glass houses etc etc etc............

It worries me that there are young people in our society who can be so callous. The behaviour of the people concerned is almost psychopathic, with no feeling or regard for their victim whatsoever. What is our country coming to?

[eltelioni]

There are many "black yoofs" who are law-abiding and do not want to be caught up in this violence. To suggest that it is ok for them "to keep it in-house" is puerile.

[eltelioni]

Don't get me wrong, these ******** should be executed. I would also be pleased to administer a very painful lethal injection to this git:

eltelioni:

The tragedy is that the lad who was paralysed has that to cope with for the rest of his life while his attacker will be footloose and fancy free again by the time he's 20.

Mmmmmhhhhhh..There's something highly ironic about that?

[eltelioni]

paraffin - hence my offer. This really sickens me. Perhaps there will be some like-minded citizens waiting for him when he comes out.

Senseless

I really don't understand why the law does not allow the guilty to be named just because they are under age. They are old enough to commit this horrendous act but not old enough to be named.
