Who's giving keg parties for 15-year-olds?

You all saw the horrific story about the young black college student who got beat up and nearly drowned in what looks like a hate crime. The Miami Herald's front-page story Tuesday reports that the four arrested suspects are 15 to 18 years old, and that the attack happened after a keg party in the Intracoastal Waterway near Haulover Park.

Now I'm wondering why such under-age types are out in public at a keg party and it goes on until 1 a.m. when all restraint has been washed away in beer foam? And no adult interferes?

Luckily a Bal Harbour cop was writing a traffic ticket not far away and was part of the effort to stop the fracas. As one who often drives through that area and sees up to a half-dozen police cars writing traffic tickets, I ask: Why aren't the police doing something about public disorder rather than farming the public for inconsequential traffic fines?
