Well I can see what will happen now...Al Sharpton will run down there and with his followers demand the release of the Raleigh 6 and charge the Police of being racist and claim the boys are the real victims(and sue the Mall for millions).
WTF? Raleigh North Carolina? But....but....that's the city Barney And Andy always talked about on The Andy Griffith Show. I'm sure it must be a very pleasant place, filled to the brim with Southern Hospitality. Anyway, enough about Bizzaro World - this doesn't surprise me in the least. Every Southern city is like this. I'm amazed this doesn't happen more often in Atlanta, Columbia, etc.
Things like this is why the courts need to do away with this Child Abuse crap, and let their parents go back to putting a belt to their asses again just like back in the 60's and 70's. That way when they grow up, they all won't turn out like that. One of the main reasons thet all run around doing things like that because they've never had that ass whipped before.
Mary just called her sister in Raleigh to see if she was okay. Her sister hadn't even heard about this.
I'm quite sure the cops were only after the "ring leaders". Raleigh doesn't have enough police to arrest and process 300 people at a time. No sense arresting people if you can't prove they were fighting - they could say they were trying to get away from the fight and panicked. All the cops can do is arrest the "worst of the worst" (or maybe the "slowest of the slow" in this case.) A similiar thing happened at a High School here a few months ago in Augusta. About 100 kids were involved (gang related), and the SWAT Team came because it was getting out of control. The cops ended up rounding up the ones who started it. I'm glad my daughter will be out of High School someday.
