2 minors surrender in connection with beating death of 73-year-old man

Two brothers have surrendered to police in connection with a fatal attack on a 73-year-old man, days after authorities released footage of the assault, police said.

The brothers -- ages 10 and 14 -- surrendered on Monday, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.

The development comes after the department released disturbing surveillance footage on Friday of the deadly attack, which occurred around 2:30 a.m. on June 24.

In the footage, a group of presumed teenagers can be seen chasing a person, who is blurred, across a street in North Philadelphia. One of the teens is captured hurling a traffic cone at the victim. A girl is then seen picking up the traffic cone and repeatedly throwing it at the victim.

The lawyer's comment is sickening, when asked why the kids were out at 2:30 "They were normal kids. Do you remember when you snuck out of your house?"
They left off the "and murdered someone"

2. "Normal kids"?

Normal kids don’t go around hunting down other human beings like they’re a pack of wolves.

3. We snuck out of the house, and ran around the house.

Then freaked out and ran back in. Or we rode our bikes around. Never at that time of night though.

When older, we’d just go cruising around listening to our cassette players. Beating up or murdering anyone, much less and elderly person, wouldn’t have ever have crossed our minds.

What would compel so many that age to participate in such a heinous act ?
