Man beaten by ‘bored’ teens dies 1 year later
Authorities say the Cincinnati-area man who was badly beaten by six teens almost a year ago in a Cincinnati suburb has died.
Pat Mahaney, 46, died yesterday in the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, said Julie Wilson, spokeswoman for the Hamilton County prosecutor’s office.
The six teens, all 13 or 14, injured Mahaney in August and told police they did it because they were bored and looking for something to do.
Wilson said Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters has asked the coroner for an autopsy.
Three of the youths have pleaded guilty to felonious assault.
Wilson would not elaborate on whether the office will seek additional charges against the teens. She said the office will describe its “next steps, if any,” after the coroner issues a report.
Not a hate crime? No one had heard of this one? Hmmmm....

Had it of been 4 white punks beating a black man you would have - everyday for months...
DeleteIt is amazing the stories they pick and choose to bring to the attention of the public.
If the autopsy shows his injuries contributed to his death, the teens should be charged accordingly.

I assume the folks who brought us the dirt on Trayvon will eventually do a number on these kids too.
Max,
DeleteI'm pretty sure you have a point you wish to make sarcastically, but I can't see what it is. I'm referring to your closing sentence.

The link I posted was to a story of some black kids who did something positive and courageous. In the Trayvon case, we had a counter push to the pictures of him in a football uniform to let us know that he was pretty much a dirt bag who deserved to die at Zimmermans hands.
DeleteMax,
DeleteSome people may have held to that repugnant view. I didn't, and I hope the same could be said for most people.
