I hope the sorry no-good street thug gets the full extent of the law. It is a shame and sad that a law-abiding citizen cannot be safe in their own home much less out in the open. This worthless punk deserves to be put away so he cannot do this to some other unfortunate person. How could any decent human attack an elderly person and mercilessly beat them like this poor man? The police department needs to step up and do more about the criminal behavior of todays youths and more to the point these gangs that perpetrate this kind of activity that have infiltrated our communities. I almost feel like the citizens need to organize and form a vigilante group to fight the criminal activity that is eroding our society.

16-year-old Maurlon Ewing, Jr. should be sentenced to being Pete's care giver for the rest of his life.

How about TENT CITY?

Conceal Carry is no good if you do not carry. Even in your own house

The worst thing when it was over would be the clean up and yet the best thing would be the clean up.

Why do people feel the need to respond to a knock on the door if you do not know the individuals. Instead of responding Pete should have gotten his gun. I am not saying it was Pete's fault. These boys should get more than what the law allows.

Does anyone really believe you are getting the whole story when it comes down to gang violence in the triad?

These PUNKS will get what they deserve one of these days! The sad part is, some other kid will be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and some paranoid adult will shoot first and ask later! Take them to the streets of Iraq, and let them knock on doors!

Raise the age of quitting school to age 18. Raise the level at which a child is considered an adult to age 21. Charge the parents as co-conspirators to any crimes their kids commit until age 21. Lack of two parent households, lack of corporal punishment, leads to kids not understanding the consequence of their actions. Mr Sesitito is a victim of Maurlon Ewings having recieved bad parenting. I'm 55 and in grade and high school I got hit if I acted the fool. I got hit twice as hard when I got home. Maurlon Ewing needs to be held down and beaten, as bad as he beat Mr. Sesitito. Then and only then will he understand the consequence of his actions.

Say we don't have room in our jails? Decriminalize the use of marijuana and you can take a third of the prison population out. They've "tried" to kill off its usage since the forties with absolutely no impact on usage. It goes on whether it is legal or not. Legalization and taxation would turn it into a cash crop, therefore the need to commit crimes to buy on the illegal market would diminish.

Go on the Sheriff's website,click inmate listing.There's about 900 in those 2 jails every day.Not a whole lot in there for burning weed.Several visitors to our country are in there.On that site white is not black or African American,it can be any race.

Jimbob2,

Prison populations which don't have the fluctuation of holding jails are filled with many "drug criminals". Instead of damning all my ideas, suggest some of your own. Telling me the "system" doesn't work, doesn't keep the Maurlon Ewings from committing crimes.

DeadlineDiva,

I have a question for you and your fellow journalists and station personalities. I know it is important for you as a public figure to let your audience know as much about you as possible. Aren't you concerned about posting pictures of your family members, knowing what wackos are out there? I've seen that you cover gang violence and its victims, but it would concern me that you place yourself or the station places you into environments that aren't safe at all. I have conceal-carry and would not consider placing myself in situations that you have convered. There are plenty of us bloggers who love you folks dearly, but there are also opportunists who would take thrill in "taking out a local celebrity". There is a certain amount of anonymity in blogging, but some of you folks put in ALL too much information, per my opinion.
