Gang Members Apologize for Stabbing the Wrong Guy

On shows like "The Sopranos" and "The Wire," aging gang members often lament the younger generation's lack of respect. But in Modesto, Calif., there are still vestiges of civility in thug life -- and it turns out that being in a gang sometimes means having to say you're sorry.

After beating and stabbing a man in his home, four gang members recently offered an apology, saying they had attacked the wrong person.

The assailants kicked in an unidentified 32-year-old man's door early in the morning and then proceeded to kick, punch and stab him. When the other people staying in the home came downstairs to see what was happening, the attackers realized they were beating up the wrong guy, and said they were sorry. The victim was hospitalized, but his wounds don't seem to be life-threatening.

This cautionary tale illustrates our long-standing belief that more gangs should provide their members with training in GPS and Google Maps. C'mon, gangs, it's the 21st century already.

So, because they "apologized" some will actually think that all should be forgiven. How asinine. As a side note, the definition of a liberal? A conservative that hasn't been mugged yet. "You can always tell a liberal, but you cannot tell them much.

well what u exspect in todays world.

let see today if a parent spanks a young child childservices is called. the parents are acused of abuse if they try to control there kids.

Sencondly what about the current and past econmy over the last 20 years where both parents had to work just to keep a roof over there family heads.

face it ozzie and harriet are long dead

plus the divorce rate i mean a man and woman get married have kids then get divorced daddy can't aford enough so mommy as to work too thereby leaving the kids alone.

Plus the christen /conservative groups that back cutting childcare credits and healthcare for families struggling to survive.

Blame it on the false messiah G W Bush and his false christen supporters for current problems

Also blame the majority of the masses in the
US of A for blindly electing not once but twice an person that thinks he is god messenger here on earth.

All u religious idiots need to look think and hopefully realize that u made this country it is today.

If you would rather "back a gang member than a cop" you are brain dead, and a waste of human flesh. A tough guy with a keyboard, no doubt. Loser.

Every member of this cold-blooded, blood-thirsty gang should be stripped naked, hog tied, and thrown into a pond full of hungry alligators to be eaten alive. Blood Justice is demanded in this case.

unfortunately it happens all the time. There was a junior high school student in my neighborhood almost beaten to death at a store across the street from his school for being in a gang. His attackers were many years older and guess what, they had the wrong guy. This poor kid just looked like someone else. These gang members actively recruit these young kids right under the noses of the school and cops

What frigging moron said whites commit as many violent crimes as any other race? Have you looked at prison population? WE need the death penalty in every state. If people knew they would get the needle,the chair, or better yet a good hunk of rope they might think twice. Capital Punishment is the only way to take care of the slime littering our streets.

Why in this day and age do we still have gangs that do these things....We have law enforcement that is supposed to be taking care of that,or not..i guess they're not doing a very good job...Send the illegals back, that will take care of a lot of it....

Rehabilitation is a joke. Abortion is only a partial answer. Not every human (?) being should be allowed to procreate. Look what affirmative (?) action, multi-culturalism and the ban against racial profiling has done....it has made mediocrity the norm. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Hey, they apologized...but, if the gang REALLY wanted to impress me, they would have taken the guy to the hospital and paid for his medical treatment.

They were probably illegals.

Gangs even control the prisons they are in,they still run the gangs on the outside from the inside of prison.

If you want to nail down what race is commiting the most crime - just look at the mug shots in your morning or evening newpaper maybe one white to every 20 non-whites.

It's high time federal prosecutors started treating gang members who commit violent crimes as domestic terrorists. After they serve their time, their citizenship should be revoked and they should be deported.

The fact the writer would be so jovial in his reporting about this happening to someone proves he is nothing short of an immature indecent shill scumbag pile of rotting shit detached from all that is decent in this world.

God I hope something like that happens to you and that the reaction of people around you is to belittle the entire experience and invalidate you as a human being whilst lauding up the criminal scum that perpetrate whatever ass raping you no doubt deserve.

If I knew you personally I would walk right up to you and break your nose, then tell you to crawl under a rock and die.

All this and I'm not even a violent man but pond life like you stir the shit of this planet round and round till its stink pervades and ruins everything, quite frankly I'm sick of living surrounded by filth which people like you will so happily peddle to make your whores salary.

Your nothing more than a life draining parasite and I really do hope something quite bad happens to you soon.

Oh, excuse me, sorry I kicked in your door and smashed your face. Please forgive the gang, we made a mistake.

What excuse are they going to use for their defense?? We (the gang) can only read at the fourth grade level.
Send them to prison, cheaper to keep them off the streets.
