MOUNT VERNON, Ohio – A central Ohio teenager accused of putting a noose around a Hispanic boy's neck and dragging him in a parking lot has been sentenced to 10 days in jail.

The 18-year-old was sentenced Wednesday in juvenile court in Mount Vernon, a city of 15,000 residents an hour's drive northeast of Columbus. He dropped his original plea of not guilty and pleaded no contest to ethnic intimidation.

A charge of aggravated menacing was dropped.

Seventeen-year-old Robert Cantu says in May 2008 he was dragged from a sidewalk to a parking lot with the noose wrapped around his neck by a group of teenagers shouting racial slurs. He says the teens threatened to hang him before a bystander intervened.

His family says it plans to sue the city, dubbed the state's Most Livable Community in 1994.


Thank goodness for helpful bystanders. Not so much the super light slap on the wrist punishment.

Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole

10 days? Oh yeah, that'll teach him not to assault and threaten to kill random people.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

I like 'state's most livable community in 1994'. Maybe it blows chunks now, but if someone invents a time machine you can go back to 1994 and it'll be quite a pleasant experience.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Why sue the city?

Shouldn't they be suing the kid who did it?

I do believe that the right to sue anything on the thinnest of thoughts is part of the American Dream. Plus when the city has a slogan like that they are asking for it.

10 days in jail more then he would get over here. In fact our Crown Prosecution Service is so twisted they would probably find him as the victim and award him compensation. At least you do things with crims....

Agreed. In fact, we should just build a huge jail and make DeadShane the warden, put all stupid people in it, and give him free reign, check back in a year and see how things went.

No no no.

Drop the offender in the middle of Mexico, with 'I hate Spiks' tattooed on his ignorant forehead, and tell him to head for the border.

Mind you, I believe in similar treatments for all racists. See how hard and superior their race is when they're the minority.

VIRGINIA BEACH - A Virginia Beach father has confessed to murdering his son on Tuesday.

In a jailhouse interview, 33-year-old Joseph Hagerman told 13NEWS he knew what he was doing when he decapitated his five-year old son, Joshua.

He also admitted that his rationale for killing his son will seem flawed to most people but added that does not make it wrong.

"I didn't want him to lose his salvation so I wanted him to go fast. I didn't want him to be tortured, so I wanted him to go fast and so I took his life,” said Hagerman.

Hagerman is in jail on charges of felonious assault and murder.

THIS. This is why I advocate government run testing for potential parents. Even if it's simply a psyche evaluation.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

In Dubai there was a young sister who was planning to get married. She hadn't asked her brother...big mistake...He doused her in petrol and in an empty pool set her on fire.

The whole story had been shushed up, not good for cities image, but we heard about it from an inside journalist. (friend of the family).

Fether was given the death penalty. Got his top cut off, served him right too.

Also a fellow aussie was sacked and deported for giving the finger to locale.
