This story just gets worse every time I see an update.

The 17-year-old Spring boy who was savagely beaten and sodomized with a pipe more than a week ago still can't speak or squeeze his mother's hand. But his face — once swollen almost beyond recognition — has started to heal and friends are sure he can hear their prayers, his older brother said Monday.

In the family's first public statement since the attack, the boy's 21-year-old brother said the family's attention remains focused solely on the teen's health, which is still too poor to undergo operations on his internal organs.

Details on the attackers are even worse, if you can imagine that.

Authorities are still investigating whether either of the suspects has any gang affiliations, Trent said.

However, he said, "It appears at least one of them may be tied to some extremist groups."

Tuck has tattoos of swastikas and other such markings favored by skinheads, sheriff's Lt. John Denholm has said.

Present and past neighbors also have reported that swastika flags were sometimes displayed at Tuck's home in the 3400 block of Nutwood and that people at the residence exchanged Nazi salutes and cries of "Heil!" when visitors with shaved heads arrived.

Neighbors on Nutwood Lane said the teen once marched down the street waiving a Nazi flag on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

"I have lived here 11 years and you just knew this is the corner where you don't send your kids around," said Robin Storrs, 35.

Given what they did, I have to agree with the assessment of the victim's brother.

The victim's older brother said he believes Tuck and Turner could be treated harshly by other inmates if they are convicted and go to prison — and he said he has no problem with that.

"What goes around comes around," the brother said. "I'm a big believer in Karma."

I suspect these boys are going to get a little bit of justice of the type we are forbidden to impose.

Anyways, I'd be satisfied with the death penalty on this one, though the victim has not (yet) died. This sort of brutality is unfathomable. I hope those punks who did this get raped with a shiv. A nice, thick, spiky shiv.

Horrible I know, but I think that's more than fair.

2 So much for the Horses Ass's that say the EVIL doesn't exist or there is no such worry to be concerned with. THIS IS PURE VILE EVIL! Go ahead a TRY to explain it away. People like this are too far gone. An example should be made of them to others who maintain the same- so called-values.
