A DeKalb County grand jury indicted Tiunta Battle, Diamond Brooks, Paul Cargile, Larry Little, Titus Seals, Demario Middlebrooks, Eureon Phillips, and Monquavious Thomas for 66 criminal counts on Jan. 12.

Charges include armed robbery, solicitation to commit murder, false imprisonment, cruelty to children and aggravated assault of elderly victims. All were associates of the hybrid gang known as “2100”.

“This multi-defendant and multi-incident case involves a series of vicious and often violent theft, assault and burglary acts,” said DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James. “This gang terrorized the community at large with a malicious intent to rob, steal and kill in DeKalb County.”

The offenses range from home-invasion armed robbery to solicitation for murder. “We intend to prosecute those involved in this and similar gang-related criminal activities to the fullest extent of the law,” James said.

AltPh30, this is what else we are supposed to do. Take them to a public square and flog them and rub their wounds with salt; and then put them in solitary confinement for life with very limited rations.

Agree completely.

Maybe we should rethink penal colonies - if you are a repeat violent offender we strike you from our society and ut you in one with your kind.

What else are we supposed to do?

Indicted is one thing. Convicted is another. Prison time is another. Rehabitation while in prison is another. Release and probation are yet another in the process.

DeKalb County and Fulton County both release massive numbers of very violent offenders every Week.

These violent offenders if convicted will just get in a long line of violent offenders streaming out of the DeKalb County and Fulton County Court Houses and back into our neighborhoods with little supervision and no hopes for a job.
