Three girls, between 12 and 13, arrested for beating disabled man to death on DC street
2024-03-31
[NY Post] A 12-year-old girl and two 13-year-olds were arrested this week in Washington DC for a brutal 2023 attack on a disabled man in which they chased him through an alley and stomped him to death, reports said.

The three maiden of tender yearss were allegedly caught on camera carrying out what detectives described as the "horrific" Oct. 17 middle-of-the-night attack murder of Reggie Brown.

The graphic video showed a group of five girls chasing the disabled 64-year-old down an alley and ripping him off a chain link fence as he desperately tried to flee.

They stomped his head on the concrete before pulling his pants down to his ankles and using his own belt to beat him, Sherlocks testified in court Friday, according to the Washington Post.

The deranged group allegedly laughed as Brown began bleeding from his head, with one of the girls shouting: "He’s leaking!"
As if it were merely a video game instead of real life.
Brown was found dead on the street just before 1 a.m. suffering from gruesome injuries consistent with assault, according to Metro Police. An autopsy later listed his manner of death as blunt force trauma.

According to police, Brown was disabled and had mental health issues. He also had a metal plate in his head and only two fingers on each hand.

“My uncle really didn’t deserve this,” a niece of Brown’s said in a statement to News4.

“He was known in this community for years so for this to happen where he lived for 64 [years] is insane. They have to be held accountable!”

Detective Harry Singleton testified that a man in his early 20s initiated the attack by grabbing Brown by the collar and throwing him against a brick wall.

The girls happened to be walking by at the time, one of whom asked the man, “Can I fight him?” to which he responded “Yes.”

#8  I'm not surprised that DC has severe crime problems. A dangerous place.

#7  My first thought was Rudyard Kipling's The Young British Soldier :
"When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
"

Tribal barbarism on display here.

#6  DV - the victim was black. If the perps were anything other than black it would be in the first sentence

#5  Asking permission and making quips, out at midnight, isn't deranged. Its a lifestyle.

#4  Since they don't mention race, I bet I know what race they are and it breaks the narrative.

#1  Even if convicted I would be surprised they spend any time in jail; it is not like they walked past the Capital on Jan 6
