And the decline of Western civilization proceeds apace...

From this morning's Houston Chronicle...

Five teens accused of taking turns beating another teen to death said they never meant to kill, and as one put it, “we were just trying to have some fun,” Baytown police said Thursday.
While investigators continued piecing together what motivated the vicious attack of 18-year-old Kevin Jerome Powell at a Baytown apartment complex, State District Judge Herb Ritchie found Thursday that authorities had enough probable cause to continue holding the suspects in jail on $100,000 bail each.

You know what would stop things like this? Gun licensing and registration...oh, wait...
