This is local news here. Warning: the video of the beating is disturbing to watch.

https://abc7.com/rolling-hills-mayor...utism/5244561/

April is autism awareness month. I'm wrecked after watching this, as I work with students with autism every day. The article says the motive was a fight over a girl, but the other local station described it specifically as the victim being lured by the assaillants to the location to meet a girl, so it was a pre-meditated ambush as far as I can tell.

What does the gated community have to do with this attack?

There is a photo of the Promenade in the link, which was the location of the attack. The news reporters were interested in interviewing the now ex-mayor about the attack his son was involved in but couldn't because Rolling Hills Estates is a gated community.

The unvarnished pride on their faces after delivering that beating...

I was jumped a few times as a teen and received beatings just like this. Kinda messed me up, psychologically, to some degree, I won't lie.

Isn't attacking someone disabled considered a hate crime?

If I were the parent of the victim, to say I'd be upset would be an understatement. Instances like this is where vigilante justice should be applied.

I read the median household income there in the 2010 census was around $140k. Sounds like a bunch of privileged kids who need a hard dose of reality.

The suspects will be living in a different “gated community” in the near future.

Wow. You sound very tough. They teach you vigilante justice in the Army?

Those d-bags are 18, fortunately. They may face some real consequences for this.

Mayors, Senators and even Presidents can have scumbag kids.

Just to be clear Patrick Wilson was mayor at time of attack, but no longer holds that office.
