First we have an 11 year old boy executed at point blank range earlier in the week and it doesn't take long for the next upset coming out of the current youth yob culture going on in this country.
Earlier in the year...
The list just goes on and on.
Man dies after street gang attack
Brent Martin
Mr Martin suffered a sustained and brutal attack
A 23-year-old man with learning difficulties has died in hospital after being "savagely attacked" by a gang of up to five youths.
Brent Martin was found with multiple injuries on Sunderland's Town End Farm estate on Thursday night after reports of a man being beaten up.
He was taken to the city's Royal Hospital, where he died on Saturday.
A 21-year-old man and three youths, one aged 16 and two aged 17, are being questioned on suspicion of murder.
Mr Martin, described as vulnerable by police, had been the victim of a "sustained and brutal" beating.
Police have appealed to parents in the area to question their children about their whereabouts at the time of the attack.
Speaking on Friday, Det Supt Kay Blyth, who is leading the investigation, said: "I would appeal to parents in the area to think about what their children were doing last night.
"Did they come in late and were acting out of the ordinary? Did they fail to come home at all?"
She said the area where the attack happened had experienced low-level anti-social behaviour, but crime levels were relatively low.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact Northumbria Police.

Seven teenagers were questioned by police yesterday after a 16-year-old boy was chased by a mob and stabbed to death in a London street lined with ?1 million homes.
Witnesses say that teenage girls egged on the attack with shouts of ?Kill him, kill him? before the victim, named last night as Kodjo Yenga, was surrounded. At one point Kodjo raised his arms to fend off blows from sticks. The suspects being held include four 13-year-olds, two 15-years-olds and a man aged 21.
