KSDK - 19-year-old Gregory Smith Junior pleaded guilty Tuesday to assault and endangering the welfare of a child.Smith admitted severely beating of a 7-year-old boy he happened to see near a tunnel along Interstate 44 near Pacific.
AdvertisementThe victim and his then 4-year-old brother were playing there, in May of 2006, when Smith walked up to them and started assaulting the older boy.
The 7-year-old was punched, then kicked repeatedly while laying on the ground. He was beaten so badly that both of his eyes were swollen shut by the time the young boys were able to make it home for help.
Police say Smith previously admitted to the beating, and said he had been drinking and taking prescription drugs before the attack.
It appears the attack was random.
What in the freaking heck!?!?

When that 7-year old grows up, he’s going to find that 19-year old when gets out on parole or finishes his sentence…. and he’s going to kick the living shit out of that guy.
“Even though he was an enemy of mine, I had to admit that what he had accomplished was a brilliant piece of strategy. First, he punched me, then he kicked me, then he punched me again.”
Did you know that this was the deep thought for today? Ironic…
Anela, I hadn’t heard of THIS one…God, how can there be so many frickin’ monsters in the world.
Sad.
