[quote]New Hampshire have labeled the attempted lynching of a 8-year-old child a hate crime after facing criticism for a very sloppy investigation.

Family members like the child’s grandmother Lorrie Slattery told reporters the boy was playing with a group of teens in the Claremont neighborhood when it took a dark turn. The teens reportedly called him racial epithets while throwing rocks at his legs.

“The (teenagers) said, ‘Look at this,’ supposedly putting the rope around their necks,” Slattery said. “One boy said to (her grandson), ‘Let’s do this,’ and then pushed him off the picnic table and hung him.”[quote]

Charge 'em all as adults, attempted murder. Straightforward from there.

Definitely the no. 1 takeaway from this for rational people. "Don't let your kids play with the big kids or they might get lynched". Thanks for the quality post, bro.

No, but there is a huge difference between an 8-year old and a 14-year old. Letting young children play unsupervised with much older, bigger teenagers who are not family members is dangerous, not because they might get lynched, but because they could be physically or emotionally abused in other ways by the older children, or participate in activities unsuitable for their age.

Keep up the good work Santander 🙂

Would you classify this as something other than attempted murder?

I don't believe in charging 14 year olds as adults (normal) nor do I jump to assign collective responsibility to a teenager who may have simply been a non-actor in a mob action. Someone ought to be facing that as a juvenile obviously, but the vengeful outrage is hilariously wicked.

If, as is alleged, they tied a rope around a kid's neck and kicked him off a table to strangle him, then there should be severe consequences.

(FWIW I'm leery of hate crime charges in all but the most extreme cases, but I think attempted murder charges are more than appropriate for those involved).

I didn't know you had turned into one of the sensitive snowflakes who need to put people on ignore. Tongue

"Yeah, these Germans weren't Nazis until January 30th 1933" is a pretty nonsensical statement to make.
