“We’re pretty confident that we’ve got the makings of wrapping this thing up,” McCarthy said. “We’ve got six people in custody. We’ve got two more people identified, who we’re out looking for right now.”

McCarthy said the attack was not racially motivated, but was in retaliation for an earlier incident, in which 20 people attacked two teens.

“It appears to be retaliation for a previous assault. We’re confident that we’ve got the right people in custody. We think that we’ll be charging them very shortly.”

“This isn’t new, unfortunately. This is a dynamic that’s been going on for a while,” McCarthy said. “Almost common, let’s put it that way. We just had an incident with a homeless getting man knocked out on a train platform, right? We were able to make arrests on that very quickly, but it’s the same exact thing. They did it on purpose, they taped it on purpose and then they put it up on YouTube.”

Asked if that’s just an invitation taunting police to find the suspects, McCarthy said, “I don’t think they think in those terms, I don’t. I think they’re thinking, you know, ‘Let’s brag about this crazy stupid thing that we’re doing.’”

“Looking at these kids, you think they know what consequence means, quite frankly?” McCarthy added. “I don’t think they know what consequences are.”

McCarthy said charges will come shortly against the six suspects now being held, and the other two wanted people are expected to surrender.

I don't get the whole gang beating metality. It used to be people would fight one on one. There's no honor any more.

You haven't seen West Side Story have you? Or Braveheart for that matter.

We just had this happen in our neighborhood last weekend. And last month a few blocks away, another beating took place with 6 guys on one. No deaths that time, though.

Tony and Bernardo fought one-on-one. Sure, it was right after Bernardo offed Riff, but it wasn't a gang-up.

we all have our e-penises these days, so people don't fight in order to prove themselves, they fight in order to beat the crap out of whoever they are fighting. and when the whole proving yourself bullshit is out of the way, there's really no advantage that isn't fair game.
