A DC Superior Court judge has sentenced a 15-year-old girl to three years in supervised detention over the beating death of a 64-year-old man last year. The teen pleaded guilty alongside two others on Oct. 10 to a downgraded charge from second-degree murder to assault with a dangerous weapon and told the court that she and her friends beat the victim to death because they "were bored."

The convicted teen was one of five girls between the ages of 12 and 15 charged with the brutal killing of Reggie Brown, who died of blunt force trauma on Oct. 17, 2023. Court documents show that the group of teens chased Brown down the 6200 block of Georgia Avenue, then allegedly beat and kicked him to death. Medical examiners ruled his death a homicide. His family said he suffered from multiple disabilities and was frail from battling cancer. One of the teens filmed a video of the attack, which prosecutors showed the court. Police said he died at the scene.

The 15-year-old was summoned by prosecutors to testify as a key witness in the trial of the two remaining girls, who are accused of second-degree murder. She testified that she and her friends were looking for something to do after leaving a DC skate park. That's when she suggested they "find someone to beat up," the girl testified, as per Fox News.

Prosecutor Gabrielle LoGaglio asked the teen, "Why did you suggest that?"

"Because we were bored," the girl responded. The convicted teen told the court that her group came across an unknown man who was allegedly already attacking Brown and asked if they could join him in the beating. In an attempt to escape, Brown ran through an alley before the group of teens caught up to him. The girls proceeded to repeatedly beat and kick the elderly victim while he lay on the ground, according to testimony.

She testified that her teen sister recorded the group taunting Brown while they savagely beat him. It was when the group walked away from the scene that they realized they killed him.

"Do you remember what you were thinking when you walked back to the alley?" LoGaglio asked. The girl responded, "He's dead."

The remaining defendants face a maximum sentence of jail until they reach the age of 21 if convicted. The suspects have not been publicly identified because they are juveniles.

1) Fuck DC as a whole.
2) these teens were black. If they were white, the MSM would have made a huge deal about this story.
a) if these teens were white, they would have had the book thrown at them. Not their charges downgraded.
 
Just sentence these teens to death and be done with it. By age 15 you know the difference between right and wrong, you can't act like they're some young misguided kids that accidentally went down the wrong path. These girls are clearly already too far gone if their idea of fun is beating up a poor old man and filming it to laugh at later.

There is no saving them, no amount of therapy will ever rehabilitate them, all they're going to do is waste our tax dollars and take up oxygen. And if they get out of jail, they will surely go on to hurt others.

RIP to the poor old man that died in such a cruel way.

1. It's DC so there's no need to speculate on race.
2. If the teens were white, their pictures would have been in the article.

Sometimes the liberal perspective on the court system, especially with regard to minors, appeals to me a bit. Why punish those with undeveloped brains too harshly? Why put them into "the system" permanently? Why ruin their life? Why not try to rehabilitate them? Why be so hard-hearted and unforgiving?

Then I see downright awful stories like this with these savagistic little whorelets getting 3 years supervised detention, and think that Malaysia has it right. The idea of this poor helpless and harmless disabled guy getting kicked to death in his last moments makes me sad in ways that I can't put into words. Is that truly all his life was worth? Unforgivable.

Our justice system is a joke. An unjustice or injustice system.

If this is true, there is a lot of context we are missing. What's the real story here? Everyone involved is black so we can't assume innocence. Every dead black guy has his family say he was a good boy and he dindu nuffin and he was on his way to church and going to community college and tryna be turnin his life around.

I don't believe this story without more information. Journos are in a bind because everyone in this story is black so its impossible to report honestly and with full context.
