4 teenage boys arrested for assaulting high school student on posted video

Future construction workers.

They will bow, pretend they are sorry, their parents will pay a lot of money, and these miscreants will walk away with a smirk

In the UK we have several degrees of charge, it starts from affray, assault, to actual bodily harm to grievous body harm being most serious ( except attempted murder) does Japan have a similar sliding scale? depending on the severity of the attack on this guy it would be ninth UK a charge of ABH which could be quite a hefty fine.

If it were your son who got beaten, as a father which would you prefer? Money from all four punks family? Or a chance to beat the snot out of each one of them?

there are some things money just can't buy...

Social media is going to be the downfall of our society

This kind of things never used to happen in Japan.

Both money and physical punishment

4 vs 1 !? If I'm the parent I will sue these boys. Especially those outsider

The video posted on a social networking site showed more than four people kicking or hitting the victim with a stick, but the police have concluded that the four boys played a major role in the assault.

More than four people...So what about the others? Will they walk away scot-free since they didn't play a major role according to the police? I hope that the article is just missing that part and it isn't the case.

I mean, what kind of message would that send? Participating in assault is ok as long as you're not playing a major role?

there are some things money just can't buy...

For everything else, there's Mastercard.

But seriously, nothing is going to happen to these 4 bullies. Fake bow, fake apologize , a couple yen and all is done. The real victims are the victim's parents! Because they have to deal with the aftermat of this incident.
