"The child reported the attack to an adult female guardian and pointed out his assailant..."

Well isn't this just dandy. Thanks so much, Mr. Sowell. You've done more to undo any increase in awareness and compassion while blackening the eye and placing people experiencing homelessness in great danger than just about anyone else in Nashville over the previous decade.

I wouldn't wish your rapidly approaching fate on my worst enemy, but if you're guilty of this crime, you certainly deserve it.
