I haven’t really followed this story save in some e-mail from a longtime reader and I think I should read more, but it sure sounds like these kids have gotten a raw deal:
Bell, Bailey, Theo Shaw, Carwin Jones, Bryant Purvis and an unidentified juvenile — all black teens — were arrested and charged with attempted murder. The weapons used, according to the charges — shoes. Their bails were set at between $70,000 and $138,000.
