The driver of the van was in the hospital for a few days but is fine now. His family helped him leave to another state.

A dozen thugs need to spend a few years in jail each. Unfortunately, the lawless culture in their neighborhood will probably make that impossible. There are dozens of witnesses who know full well who those thugs are. Somehow, they all believe that protecting criminals is the right course.

Perp on a stolen dirt bike hits the back of a van and the innocent driver of that van gets beaten nearly to death by the degenerate criminal scum on the street. The FBI, State Police, and New Haven PD need to immediately assemble a task force and do a tactical door to door search of this neighborhood to round up these ignorant pieces of garbage. At a minimum the human ofal involved in this vicious attack need to be charged with gang assault and attempted murder and put away forever. They are a danger to our society deserve to rot in prison.

The dirt bag was trying to return the stolen bike to the owner but he didn't know who it was so he was riding it up and down the street in case the owner came by and saw him. He would then be thanked for returning the bike. LOL. The father is as big a loser as the dirt bag was. The only difference is that the father is an adult dirt bag and is still alive. Maybe somebody can get him a stolen bike to drive around on and find a van. We can only hope!

What bothers me is how Arnold told Actions news that the police beat that man up the 911 callers don't say nothing about the police he should be ashamed of his self I know Mamma Payne turned all over in her grave.I'm am so sorry that the young man passed away but the driver could've died too. Don't worry if the teens who beat that man are not bought to justice always remember,What you get away with man you will not get away with God. It may not happen today or tomorrow but Karma will come trust and believe speaking from experience.

OLD SCHOOL...i like you

It's funny how many people call the police when they need something...any other time the police are "harassin them." If they don't like cops that much, they should play the 3 beeps and say 911 has changed to an unpublished number...

all you old school gun people suck...you live in fear all day and think a gun will save you. wake up and smell the coffee...the world is rotting, and not even your little gun will save you...you are part of the problem, not the solution, but I'm sure your guns will take a few of your kids down with you (I lost 3 friends from you stupid old school people who like to leave your guns around your houses so they will be at easy access to help save you). How ridiculous. Put your faith in a gun...how pathetic.

Unfortunately, our tax dollars will soon be (again) paying for the care, feeding and maintenance of the so-called father. Arnold Payne is a convicted felon with a rap sheet a mile long...including risk of injury to a minor (probably his own son) and strangulation! NOBODY should be paying any mind to ANYTHING this man has to say. He was probably right there beating on that van driver with all the other little gang members. He is the scum on the bottom of our shoes, and his son's death is his and his son's own fault. He was a thug in the making, just like his daddy.

And before you get on me and call me a racist...I'm not saying that because he's black. I'm saying it because it is TRUE! He made his own bed...let him lie in it! Here is the proof.

For all the young thugs out there riding around on stolen dirt bikes... there's a lesson to be learned from this.

Steal the helmet too.

This whole story is sad and this is just the next chapter. How many people called 911 but didn't have the courage to try to intervene? The news said there were dozens of calls but nobody stepped in to stop that man from being beat? Also, for such an impoverished neighborhood that doesn't have the money to get their kids into a social program to do something constructive there sure are a lot of people with cell phones. What are the priorities here people? Your kids or your cell phones?

Why doesn't Channel 8 get off their backsides and do an investigative report? Is "Minority TV-8" going to let these animals get away with it just like the police are doing? When Minorities control the Media and the Police Department in a City, this is what happens. Wish the van driver had a gun...oh yeah, that's right, we don't need guns because we have the Police to protect us *#$&

the only one i feel any pity for in this whole incident is the van driver,he did nothing wrong.when is this out of control behavior by the low lifes,and yes i did say low lifes,going to be put into check? why do the streets need to be so dangerous? the driver of that van bears no blame for anything,it's the scumbag that stole that dirtbike who's to blame.i dont gave a damn that he was 15,a criminal is a criminal.and he got what he deserved.one less problem to haunt the streets on America.is it going to take a police state to take back our streets? do we need the national guard with shoot to kill orders patrolling our streets to make them safe again? maybe thats not such a bad idea after all.

Arnold Payne, the father of the kid who stole the bike and crashed, is campaigning to put up a stop sign "because maybe it would of saved him"...hello, Mr. Payne? you son STOLE the bike and was joy riding around town, regardless of the stop sign being there. Get a grip, your son was in the wrong in this case, the police didn't beat the driver, an angry mob did. Your son should have been taught the basics, Thou shall not steal..that lead to his untimely death, not a city stop sign. Get a life!
