Florida boot camp staff acquitted

Seven Florida boot camp guards and a nurse have been acquitted of manslaughter in the case of a teenager who died after being beaten.
The 14-year-old boy collapsed after running laps on his first day at the camp for juvenile offenders in 2007.

He was beaten by guards for 30 minutes and made to inhale ammonia in what they said was an attempt to revive him. He died in hospital a day later.

The jury took about 90 minutes to find the guards not guilty.

Let me guess

The Youth was Black
The accused guards were white

and being as this happened in Florida, the Jury was made up of white octogenarians

Just raise a bunch of people and start digging at the border to Florida. Eventually you'll get there :thup:

That's what we do in Sweden at least, although it's Skåne and not Florida we want rid of.
