Teen 'Sport Killings' of Homeless On the Rise
[Edit]
[Edit]
As if it’s not bad enough being out in the cold, without a roof over their heads, there’s a growing threat to homeless individuals: the danger from teenagers who beat homeless people for amusement. Baffliing and unthinkable to most, a growing number of homeless murders have been occurring that are attributed to a phenomenon labelled ‘sport killings’. Groups of mostly teenage boys have been attacking homeless people in alarming numbers and even videotaping themselves doing it.  Across the nation, America's homeless are under attack - literally. They are hunted down during youthful rites of passage by roving packs of males armed with prejudice and tools of torture.
Criminologists call these wilding sprees "sport killing," -- largely middle-class teens, with no criminal records, assaulting the homeless with bats, golf clubs, paintball guns. The attackers are almost always boys, peer pressure and mob mentality sweep away caution, and parents don't suspect their children could be capable of such actions.
