I agree.

Should won't buy you a cup of coffee.

A healthy adult male who uses a firearm against unarmed infants (I used this word intentionally) is in for a lot of trouble. If there's a racial disparity ...

I don't know what the issue was with the victim in this case. Maybe he was disabled. I'm pretty sure I could still give an unarmed 12-year-old second thoughts about attacking me.

You're going to have a much easier time explaining, if you even have to explain, why you used a fist, pepper spray, or a cane against children.

The facts of this case are even worse than the story that I linked to earlier. Other passengers used their cell phones to make videos of the attack, did not help the victim, and later uploaded the videos to web sites.

There's a video here, but I can barely tell what is going on:

In Washington, D.C., Friday a passenger in a subway station was attacked by a boy estimated to be around 12 years old, then by an older girl, then by other minors.

Several adult witnesses played "see no evil, hear no evil, get on the next train."

No motive is known.

When I was in grade school, maybe sometime between 1965 and 1968, there was a group of feral children around age 10 that inhabited the alleys between 44th Place and 45th Street, Wallace Street, and Normal Avenue on the South Side of Chicago. They seemed to be the spawn of some incestuous extended family. They chased me a couple of times while I was riding my bike. They put a stick through the front spokes of another boy's bike and made him do a header.

We used to call them the evil munchkins.

I guess not much has changed.
