I find it ironic that this young man was RUSHING home to make curfew...
While 7 "juveniles" apparently had no concerns about a curfew.
Does the CPD not enforce it? Teens 17 and under are not supposed to be on the streets after 11pm.
Oh, that's right... the City Attorney told the CPD not to enforce it because they don't have a place to store juveniles if the parents refuse to come pick them up. ..
Looks like that T-Bone and Council policy just about cost someone their life...
I hope that this kid sues the living crap out of the City of Columbia... it's the only thing that the politicians in this town respond to.

It falls under our lynching law. As you stated, hate crime legislation has been introduced, but nothing is on the books yet using that term.
SC Code of Laws
"TITLE 16. CRIMES AND OFFENSES
CHAPTER 3. OFFENSES AGAINST THE PERSON
ARTICLE 3. LYNCHING
SECTION 16-3-210. Assault and battery by mob; investigation and apprehension; civil liability. [SC ST SEC 16-3-210]
(A) For purposes of this section, a "mob" is defined as the assemblage of two or more persons, without color or authority of law, for the premeditated purpose and with the premeditated intent of committing an act of violence upon the person of another.
(C) Any act of violence inflicted by a mob upon the body of another person, which results in serious bodily injury to the person, shall constitute the felony crime of assault and battery by mob in the second degree and, upon conviction, an offender shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than three years nor more than twenty-five years."
I say give them the max sentence of 25 years.

Actually the federal laws need invoked and requested by our DA to the Federal Prosecutor for the region ASAP in order to charge them with a HATE CRIME.

Totally ignorant comment racer53. There's plenty of white trash sitting around cooking up meth and getting welfare checks. Do any Asians, Latinos or Mideasterners pay taxes, or just Anglo-Saxons?
