If There's Ever A Reason To Be Pro Death Penalty....

(CNN) -- Four teens are facing murder charges after a fifth teen was beaten to death at a Georgia house party that got out of control, authorities said Sunday.

Horace Damon Coleman, 19, Emanuel Benjamin Boykins, 18, Quantez Devonta Mallory, 18, and Tracen Franklin, 19, face one felony murder count each, according to Lt. Bruce Ferguson with the Douglas County Sheriff's office.

They are accused of killing Bobby Maurice Tillman, 18, at a house party in metro Atlanta late Saturday or early Sunday morning.

Before the attack, one of the teens reportedly told his friends he was going to hit the next person he saw, said Ferguson.

Sheriff Phil Miller told CNN affiliate WSB the assault on Tillman was unprovoked. He was a "little guy, 18 years old, 5-foot-6, weighed 125 pounds," Miller said about the victim.

"And they beat him up and stomped him and killed him," he added.

Police arrived on scene early Sunday morning. They were called by the mother of the girl who had hosted the party, Ferguson said. Police took 57 witnesses in for questioning.

Ed Stephens, who lives near where the party took place, watched the brutal attack from his bedroom window, reported WSB.

"I just thought he was hurt. I never thought that his life was ending," said Stephens.

I see. Just put those lights out. But when a teen partakes in the brutal killing of another in Italy, then we need to bash the Italian authorities for being too harsh on that poor darling. Very consistent.

Here is the unfortunate kid who happened by.

SOme updates from a blog of sorts.

UPDATE#1: According to 11 Alive News, Horace Damon Coleman, 19, Emanuel Benjamin Boykins, 18, and Quantez Devonta Mallory, 18, were booked into the Douglas County Jail early Sunday morning. A fourth suspect, Tracen Lamar Franklin, was being booked in the Douglas County jail Sunday afternoon. The young men are black. Yeah, I can hear their parents now -- my son was a good person and would never hurt anyone. Let's see how this is litigated in court. According to media reports, 57 people, mostly teens were taken in for questioning. The party was reportedly thrown by girls with their parents permission.

UPDATE2#: The parents of the girls who held the party will not face charges. They reportedly allowed the girls to have a party, inviting only 10 people. How they got 60 - 80 is beyond me. No drugs or alcohol was involved and the parents reportedly asked the kids to leave their home. A fight broke out between two girls outside the home. It seems Bobby Maurice Tillman was in the wrong place at the time when he was beaten and stomped to death by four thugs.

UPDATE#3: According to the WSB-TV newscast, the attack on Tillman was unprovoked. One suspect was reportedly quoted as saying the next male to pass will be attacked. Tillman happened upon the scene and was attacked viciously by these thugs. They all deserve the death penalty. Zero tolerance for such a vicious attack. I would venture to say, this isn't the first time these young men have done something untoward to another person. If they are convicted in a court of law, they don't deserve to live and breath freely. It is safe to say, more often than not, the crimes being committed in Atlanta are by young black men. Something is seriously wrong with some of our young people.

UPDATE#4: Here's a prime example why people cannot take the NAACP serious. A local chapter will stage a protest in the parking lot of the police department over the sheriff's decision to apprehend many of the teens who were outside the home to find out who the suspects were. Isn't the job of the police to protect and to investigate crimes? So, it seems the NAACP would have been A-okay with the thugs going free. Once again, the organization has proven it cannot be as objective as it should be.

UPDATE#5: Bobby Maurice Tillman died of head and chest injuries, according to the coroner's office. In other words, he died of blunt force trauma. These four thugs should be handed down the death penalty.

You see how he works.

You do realize there's a difference in brutally killing someone and slander, right?

Yes, she's been convicted of the former and is looking to be tried for the latter. If Italy would have handled her Paul's way, she wouldn't have any more trials to stand - not for slander and not for anything else. Her lights would be out.

There again, there weren't witnesses to what happened and many still question her guilt.

No one is questioning the guilt of these teens here.

She's been convicted in a court of law whether there are people that question her guilt or not. Having been convicted in a civilized country, she can fight this conviction w/o ever running up against an execution date after which all bets are off - whether many still question her guilt or not.

a country which has cops on street corners holding machine guns is hardly a civilized nation.... With that being said, it's even hard to judge if it was a fair trial as she would have gotten back home or even in the UK for that matter where her roomate was from. Italy does things a lot differently than we do here. There again though, her guilt is questioned by many....

In a pure open and shut case, end the life. be done with it.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

end the life. be done with it.

Why?

[Obama 2012 1,714]

Why?

because ultimately there's no hope for kids like this. Placing them in a prison facility for the rest of their life is putting them in a community of gang bangers these days, in which they'll continue to be punks and do the same ####### they're doing now, until MAYBE on the slight chance they might have an epiphiany and see that they've been being a jerk off all their life at the age of 45.... By then though, we've wasted too much damn money on them in a government detention housing unit, and they won't get out for another 5-15 years if ever in which when they get out they'll have nothing....

Sometimes justice and the humane thing to do (for all parties involved) is the death penalty.

That's true for just about every convict. There will always be many who question the guilt of someone convicted of a crime.

Seems to me that more emphasis should be put on rehabilitation, difficult as that may be, rather than prison being some hell-hole with an ever-growing population where people throw away the key.

Why?

Good question as the reality is no one really cares as crime is a personal or localized problem and as long the bad guys don't come after me we can lock up the offenders for a few years and forget the whole sorry incident.
