Violence – Update

In a previous post, I referenced an incident that took place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where a group of teens pulled a man from his car and beat him because he honked the horn on his vehicle to try to move them out of the street. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported today that three juveniles are now being held in connection with this incident. The ages of the juveniles: one 14 year-old and two 16 year-olds. The news item contains a graphic description of the manner in which the teens assaulted the victim, Samuel McClain, 50. It would be interesting to read the background history on these juveniles to learn what intervention strategies had previously been employed.

The article also reports the juveniles appear to be connected to a gang.
