In this clip from CWTFB Radio’s #WeakestofTheWeek segment, hosts Charlie Masheen and Kash discuss a disturbing incident in Easton where three young men shot a 16-year-old girl in the face. The segment begins with Charlie explaining the origins of the segment, emphasizing that it wasn’t created to personally expose people but to hold individuals accountable for their actions. However, this week’s case is different because there’s a victim involved—Christina, a young woman in critical condition.
Charlie is deeply disturbed by the senseless violence and the moral decline of the perpetrators, noting that they targeted an innocent girl, regardless of what they thought she may have done. One of the suspects has been caught, but was released on bail with an ankle monitor, which further frustrates the hosts. They express disbelief that the suspect was crying in court, but at the same time, the hosts criticize his actions and his apparent lack of accountability. Charlie highlights how the case hits close to home, as he knows the young lady personally.
As the hosts delve into the moral issues surrounding the case, they point out that these young men, particularly the 19-year-old who was caught, seem to lack backbone and respect for basic principles like not harming women and children. The segment also addresses the societal problems these young men face, like their limited futures, and how they are ultimately responsible for their actions.
Despite the gravity of the situation, the hosts are hopeful that the young lady will recover, drawing strength from her resilience and family background. However, they also make it clear that they believe the perpetrators deserve severe consequences, showing a deep sense of anger and frustration toward the senseless violence.
