‘Nice Kids’ Don’t Use Violence Against Others

“Nice kids” turn down their radio when asked (“2 Charged in Youths’ Beating May Avoid Prison,” July 1). “Nice kids” do not severely injure one man’s shoulder and another young man’s penis because of their request.

(Attorney) Mitchell Robinson, I can understand your defending one of the youths for the above violence, but don’t call him a nice kid. By giving Nam Le Pham and Derek Stewart a light sentence, the court is mocking the uncalled-for violence and severe injuries of Brian Powers and the other unidentified young man.
