[CNN] Police: 8 youths confess in Milwaukee death

What's almost as shocking as this murder is a passage from an AP report published in today's Oregonian:

"Just to come home to trouble every night gets kind of tiresome," said Erinn Payne, 22, who saw the attack but walked by, thinking the children were beating an animal.

Beating an animal? Did he say that out loud? Where was he when I was hunting bears?
