BURBANK, Ill. (CBS 2/WBBM Newsradio 780) -- A 15-year-old southwest suburban boy and his friends are wondering what could have made a group of teens beat him, then take his prosthetic leg and use it as a weapon on a friend who came to his rescue.
I'm just glad they were in the city, not Good Country People and no demented Bible salesmen were involved.

(the Shriners Childrens Hospital is going to donate a new leg)

I guess the moral of this story is that when people get drunk, they sometimes will take any excuse to beat up someone, and if the person they are beating has a prosthetic leg, so much the better.
I hope they catch the guys. Grrrrrrr.

At least it wasn't really true to Flannery O'Connor or the boy'd be dead, probably. I'm really glad a new leg is being donated.
