Authorities have arrested and charged four people in the killings in Deltona, Florida, of six people who were beaten with aluminum baseball bats while in their beds, Volusia County's sheriff said Sunday. The murder was organized by a man who was angry because he believed his Xbox video game system and some clothes had been stolen, said Sheriff Ben Johnson. All four are charged with first-degree murder and armed burglary.

An X Box costs how much?

This seems, to me at least, like a slight over-reaction.

If I recall correctly, Volusia County was one of the locales wherein black voters claimed to have been "disenfranchised" in the 2000 Presidential election.

I don't recall them being moved to this kind of violence at the time.

To paraphrase Patrick Henry:

Give me X-Box, or I give you death!

Beaten to death over an Xbox and some clothes, what kind of world are we living in...

What to do wih people like that?

Easy!
Take a bat and beat the shit out of them,like they beat the shit out of the victims

That will make them think twice before they go out to do a thing like that again.

Things like this should be treated with the "Eye for an eye,...."policy,imo.

The problem with that approach is of course that once in a while you'll hammer an innocent man to his death...

Why lower yourself to the standards of killers?

remember when buying an expensive pair of sneakers meant that you had to watch your back whenever you venture forth into the ghetto? the great "kids shooting kids for a pair of sneakers" scare... perhaps the greatest problem the U.S. had faced since cyanide-contanimated Tylenol, and Halloween candy with razor blades in it. hmm, well, maybe not the greatest problem, but sensationalism does count for a lot, dunnit?
