As sick as it may seem, for some teens across North America -- beating-up homeless people, even killing them -- is an amusement. A few years ago, a homeless Canadian man was beaten and urinated on by two teenagers, while they filmed. Here's the link to the article.
The National Coalition for the Homeless says that there were over 122 attacks and 20 murders of the homeless in 2006 and that this number is at its highest level in almost a decade.

VR, thanks for putting this up. What a horrific story - maybe the most disgusting aspect of societal pathology that can be imagined. Hopefully we'll get some comments from members.
Maybe it's so isolated it doesn't even deserve its own headline. We'll see.

This would seem to be the next level of social predation; I remember reading about those "Bumfight" DVDs that some were selling a few years ago. A rather horrible trend.

As disturbing as the violence in this is, the fact that people feel superior enough to those in unfortunate circumstances to consider anything other that trying to lend a helping hand (or a dollar) to them tells a very sad story about our society. Teens who have participated in these acts learned to do so by living the life they are living in our society. They internally justified these actions based on the sum total of everything they had learned up to the moment they attacked another human being.
People really need to try people to teach others how to really love others in the world.
