Their behavior is criminal and should be treated as such. I don’t care who their parents are!

The South Bay will be a safer place without these two men walking our streets. Please put them away for the longest possible sentence. Please stop acting like that stomach turning, heartbreaking video can be interpreted it any way other than GUILTY! These young men behave like animals, violently, intentionally and repeatedly beating a young man will undoubtedly suffer the effects of this event for years to come.

Those men need to be in jail for a long time. I have lost faith in the system and am sick of people getting away with horrific acts because they are rich and know people.

Why do neurotypicals feel the need to abuse autistic people?

This was horrible to witness on the viral video, can't imagine what was going through their minds as they pummeled and bullied this teen with autism, even if there was no autism diagnosis or they were unaware of dx, this clearly was unnecessary bullying, beating, and shaming to another human being.

All should face trial, including the juveniles.

I can't believe we need a petition for Justice! Autism individuals need protection not beatings!

This is not ok, nor is it a prank. They should get 5 years each, no probation. Get taught what they deserve.

What further evidence is needed? A defenseless disabled individual was viciously attacked and the entire thing was caught on camera. Lock these kids up.

Please. Justice should be meted out according to law, not privilege.

This poor boy and his family. The men and juveniles who were involved should be fully prosecuted for each crime they committed. They mentally and physically tortured a child who was incapable of defending himself. We have been allowing abhorrent behavior of this kind to continue without strong consequences in this country. They need to be punished and the punishments should be dire and long enough to make a strong statement that cruelty will no longer be tolerated in our society.
