   This is exactly the kind of thing that will destroy Las Vegas's business.I hope they catch the little thugs and give them the maximum possible punishment.Too bad the victim wasn't carrying a gun.

   "The five suspects are described as 17 to 20 years old and 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-8, weighing 150 to 180 pounds."
   Anything else regarding descriptions that would help identify these thugs? Well, uhh, guess not - that's about it.

   It is clear from the video what color their skin is.

   I guess Sun has chosen political correctness over public safety.

   It looks as if the one suspect in the front is only about 12-15 years old? If this is true then, WOW What a great influence the other ones are???

   "The robbery occurred at about 12:30 a.m. July 26..."
   And here it is, the end of August and these guys have still not been caught? They probably live in the area where they got off of the bus. The police have their pictures. A cash reward may be available. Sounds like they may never be caught.

   Any wonder why that area is a slum? Who would want to go to shop or entertain any other business venue in that hostile atmosphere? Let the ghetto kids lie in their filth. No excuse not to make a living in Las Vegas without robbing helpless victims. I say helpless because these scum will only attack when they outnumber their victims. One on one and they are sh.t.

   And they wonder why their is still racism and stereotypes in our country? Because they are originally formed from facts! Where are all the Black community "Leaders" now? You know, the ones who act so offended and upset every time someone says the "N" word. Do they call for action when those in their community actually behave as such? I can't recall a single instant. I bet not one of those "Leaders" has used their influence/connections to help seek justice for this victim; an obvious victim of a Hate Crime. The surest way to end racism would be for those "Leaders" to step up and end this type of behavior among their youth. But we all know they don't really want to end racism. If there was no more racism, there would be no more need for them.

   I ride the bus every day. I am a white middle age man trying to save money and do the green thing for my city and country. I have also served my country by way of the corps. I also ride through bad parts of the city and am very surprised that the men on the bus did nothing to help. I see them in the sitting there and not doing anything to help him. My self I would have hurt thoughs boys to protect that man or any other person on that bus. I truly sick that the men on that bus did nothing and just watched. What if that man had been there wife, daughter or mother. I know I will always stand up for the right thing. I also belive most of us would. That is a question that bothers me, they were boys and the men (not real men) did nothing

    I guess these youths have justified that they are getting what was owed to them, Doesn't say much about the parents of these kids allowing them to be out so late either, If the victum was a wealthy NFL Player would the police have found the ones responsible by now.
