What can you say when you are a mother confronted with images of your child behaving like a savage and brutally murdering another person? I don't have anything good or constructive to say about these people (the parents or the savages that they brought into this world).
This Derrion Albert beating situation angers me to no end - and make no mistake people - these are the same thugs that are now taking over Peoria. They are like rabid dogs, showing their arses, running the street. Okay - sure, some of these people may just be in a bad situation and just need a way out; but there are some that are sheer predators and they NEED TO BE TAKEN DOWN. The good kids don't stand a chance against these savages.
From the Chicago Tribune...
Now the mothers of two of the four boys charged with Derrion Albert's murder are speaking out and one can't bear to watch the video.
"That's Gene. That's my son," said Eugene Riley's mother, Sherry Smith, to the Chicago Tribune. "I'm not going to lie about that." Smith offered her condolences to Albert's family.

"That's Gene. That's my son," said Eugene Riley's mother, Sherry Smith, to the Chicago Tribune. "I'm not going to lie about that." Smith offered her condolences to Albert's family.
Desiyan Bacon, Riley's aunt, attended Monday's vigil at the school and said her nephew didn't have anything to do with the beating and was a friend of the victim. "They need to stop the crime, but when they do it, they need to get the right person," Bacon said.Riley, 18, has been charged with first-degree murder with three other teens: Silvonus Shannon, 19, Eric Carson, 16, and Eugene Bailey, 18.
Silvonus Shannon's mother, Tamaray Shannon, told the Chicago Tribune she could not bear to watch the video, which purportedly shows her son stomping on Albert's head. "Silvonus is not a bad kid," she told the paper. "He was protecting himself. Silvonus is not what they are making him out to be."
I refuse to post the video, but this is a blow by blow…
Albert was knocked unconscious when Carson struck him in the head with a board and the second person punched him in the face. Albert regained consciousness and was trying to get up when he was attacked a second time by five people and was struck in the head with a board by Riley and stomped in the head by Shannon.
