One of the most terrible news stories this week originated in Douglasville, Ga., near Atlanta.
It began with a house party where a woman reportedly hit a man, who properly refused to strike back.
But authorities say he foolishly decided to hit the next male who came by.
As a result, an 18-year-old youth happened by, and, according to authorities, a group of four partiers attacked the young man -- and stomped and punched him to death!
What kind of inexplicable barbarism was that?
A local law enforcement official said of the victim, "He had nothing to do with anything."
But the youth is dead.
Certainly the killers should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
