It's interesting to note the age difference here an, 18 year old male hanging with a 14 year old male, rather unusual unless it's a gang! How many 18 year old males do you know that have a club house? What's really sad here is the adults making excuses for the behavior acting as apologists for these thugs. How much do you want to bet one of these kids has a DVD of Bum Fights at home?

Spurgeon's aunt Tricia Elliott said her nephew often gets in fights but only to stick up for himself. Family members speculated whether the homeless man had done something to provoke the attack.

What could a homeless person do that would justify an attack like this?

The explanation that the suspects were just looking for something to do is not a surprise, said Deborah Day, a Winter Park forensic psychologist.

Typically, an instance such as this "isn't premeditated and thought out before it starts," Day said. "Then it becomes almost a game."

Day compared attacking a vulnerable group such as the homeless to a group of people torturing a defenseless animal.

"It's not that they were out looking to hurt someone, but they had spare time," Day said.

The poor children were bored! If only they had a good after school program unfortunate events like this could be avoided.

"I don't know what happened or what has been done, but this is not him," suspect's father Jeffery Spurgeon Sr. said. "I think it was more of a I want to look big in front of my friends kind of thing."

Spurgeon said his son and Scamahorn were not acting alone in the beating death.

Hey Daddy, you're part of the problem!

Accused teens scared neighbors
The pair, arrested in a homeless man's fatal beating, are called troublemakers.

Several children in Scamahorn's neighborhood said they stayed away from the teen because he was always getting in trouble. And parents forbade their children from going near his house. One mom said she sent her 15-year-old son to live with a relative for the summer to get him away from Scamahorn and his crowd.
