Thomas Murphy, a UPS delivery driver in the city of Chicago was beaten nearly to death by a gang of malcontents from a nearby school. Perhaps most troubling is the fact that this gang of youths, numbering 15 to 20 teens, were not high schoolers but, middle school students, meaning their maximum age would be around 13 years old.

Murphy reported being forced to stop when a teen stepped in front of his delivery vehicle; he was then beaten over the head and repeatedly kicked by several delinquents. There is no word as to what was the motivation for the attack. Perhaps these youth were angry because they are destined to work minimum wage and feel embittered towards people who work hard for a living. Perhaps it was nothing more than a game and perhaps they were simply malcontents with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever, a likely scenario.

As we have said time and time again. Where are the parents? Perhaps they were busy bludgeoning a FedEx driver across town? They certainly weren’t at home instilling values and respect or even an appreciation for hard work. This incident highlights the growing problem of adolescent crime and a bankrupt culture that coddles youth and foments criminal behavior. These young criminals should be hunted down and punished, serving as a lesson to other young criminals in the making.
