Bus beating attackers suing MTA
The attorneys for two of the Baltimore teenagers implicated in the December beating of a passenger aboard a transit bus say they intend to sue the Maryland Transit Administration, the bus driver and the city school system.
The attorneys claim the students were suspended from school and were denied their bus privileges without a hearing or due process.
The teenagers are among four students from Robert Poole Middle School determined by a judge to be involved – the juvenile equivalent of guilty – in the assault on Sarah Kreager. A fifth was ruled involved in reckless conduct that led to serious injury to the woman.
The five were to be sentenced Wednesday morning, but the proceeding was postponed until the afternoon because of a scheduling conflict.

This has to be a joke. You beat the heck out of someone, you get basically little to no jail time, and now you want to be compensated for not being able to go to school. What kind of world are we living in. These hooligans got-off easy. Can someone reimburse me the tax dollars it cost to pay for their lawyers as well as the associated court costs!

God, this makes me angry. These kids commit a crime, but have just been victimized by the system. These children and parents need to get their heads out of the ghetto.
