"Kids" Beat up homeless man for "Fun"

  David Ivins found himself with shelter, food, clothing, money and the support of hundreds Tuesday who were horrified by the degradation the homeless man suffered when two people beat him up then posted a video of the attack on YouTube.
  
  Now, he says, it’s a matter of making a new start stick.
  
  "I have to stop drinking," Ivins, 50, said from the Belmar police station, where he was taken early Tuesday. "I drink too much. I can stop. I’ve done it before, but I have to really make it stop."
  
  Ivins has received an outpouring of sympathy and support from people furious with the alleged actions of Taylor Giresi, 20, of Belmar, and an unidentified Lake Como teenager who were seen on the video taunting and beating the man in a makeshift wooded encampment in Wall.
  
  Giresi was arrested Sunday and charged with aggravated assault and conspiracy to commit assault in two separate beatings. On Monday, he was hit with robbery and theft charges. He is being held at the Monmouth County Jail in Freehold on $111,000 bail.
  
  Doreen Byrne, Giresi’s grandmother, said Tuesday that Taylor has had behavioral problems since he was a juvenile. She said he suffers from Kleinfelter’s Syndrome, the presence of an extra X-chromosome in males which, in some cases, causes learning disorders.
  
  She also said her grandson lost his father, Salvatore Giresi, on Dec. 9.
  
  But, she said, "I not making any excuses for him. It looks like he’ll be going away for a long time."
  
  The 17-year-old who authorities say videotaped the beating has been charged with conspiracy to commit assault and is expected to be hit with additional theft charges, Wall Police Lt. Walter Pomphrey said. The juvenile has been released to the custody of his parents.
  
  Ivins was victimized in two separate videos, on Dec. 11 and 12, police said.
  
  In the first, Giresi boasts there’s going "to be a knockout" as he approaches the homeless man in the woods. Giresi punches Ivins and runs off twice. The second time, he takes Ivins’ bicycle as laughter ensues.

  That's beyond messed up. I'll never understand why people do things like this.
  
  I hope the man is able to kick his drinking habit for good and have a better life.

  Wonder how they'll take care of Taylor's condition when he's in jail.
  
  The homeless man got his lucky break, at least.

  Sorry but if this kid is a threat to the community, hes better off behind bars.
  
  There was also an old news about kids shooting paintguns at a homless, blinding his right eye :[
