Recently released pictures show the battered faces of a Missouri couple who were beaten up outside a nightclub late last month.

Meredith Cole was outside the Outland Ballroom in Springfield, Missouri on Friday, August 22, when a group of men attempted to sexually assault her.

After the traumatic attack, she went into the club to get her boyfriend, DJ Alex Vessey. The two went outside to get a better look at the group of men when the gang pounced on them, brutally beating them up in an attack which was caught on security cameras.

Thankfully the cameras were there and the assault wasn't worse.

She was out in public. It's like a guy and his buddies can't even tell a girl she's pretty anymore.

...the Whataboutists have crawled out from under their rocks to turn this incident into a racial thing, because 4 of the 6 are black. Talk about totally not "getting it" on so many levels...

I don't care their color.

Sadly, I do know that this would be a different thread if the colors were reversed (so to speak).

This is wrong. Whoever did it. Horrible and reprehensible.

Any time a crime is committed by white people, it's never about race. When crimes are committed by minorities, it's ALWAYS about race.

about a night club fight in Missouri of all places. Almost certainly to provide some counternarrative to Ferguson, specifically.

Given what little I know about this case (pretty much what is in this thread) they are reprehensible, vile, human beings. They should go to prison for quite some time.

However no one should get the death penalty in my view. No one. Ever.

I have no moral qualms whatsoever about the death penalty. Some people deserve to die. These are six of them. We have been too soft for too long on sexual predators like these vile scumbags, and it's time to fight back.

I can't pretend to be impartial in crimes that involve sexual offense since some people extremely close to me have been devastatingly affected by it. I'd never serve on a jury for such. But it doesn't change one bit how I feel about such monsters. Mandatory death penalty. No exceptions. No mercy. They certainly showed no mercy to their victims. They didn't even treat them as human beings. Execute them.

Revenge is your game, yes? Big ego you got there.

And with that you don't know half of what punishment is.

We'll see how it goes, but it's one thing to deserve it and quite another for the government to carry it our.

Most here are against the death penalty.
