How are folks reacting?

Commenters on a WTXF-TV story published on Yahoo News were far from happy about the situation. Here's a sampling from among more than 1,200 (and counting) observations:

• "Even if identified, found & 20 witnesses came forward, the city STILL wouldn't prosecute them. Probably reduce it to jaywalking," one commenter wrote. "Crime rules, the good citizens are thrown under the bus."
• "The way to decrease crime is to increase punishment," another commenter opined. "It'll deter some and keep the ones who do commit crimes off the street longer. It's a win-win."
• "Seems like a responsible and reasonable way for moral, thinking, introspective, intelligent human beings to behave," another commenter quipped.
• "If you lived in that neighborhood would you come forward and identify any one of them?" another commenter wondered. "The police don't even want to go there."
