The story of the six technically-human organisms that stomped and kicked a dad half to death for objecting to their groping his daughter at Valleyfair last year is finally going out.

With a whimper, not a bang, as the last of the defendants takes the deal:

Derry Evans, 20, of Minneapolis; Terry L. Arnold, 23, of Brooklyn Park; Andrew D. Shannon, 20, of Minneapolis, and Anthony C. Gildersleeve, 21, of Edina each pleaded guilty to third-degree assault, a felony, in Scott County District Court. Arnold entered his plea May 28, Shannon pleaded June 1, and Evans and Gildersleeve pleaded June 4. All four will be sentenced Aug. 4.

Darris D. Evans, 21, of Brooklyn Park and DeVondre Q. Evans-Lewis, 19, of Columbia Heights pleaded guilty to felony third-degree assault on April 13. They will be sentenced June 22.

So for teaming up to stomp the living crap out of a guy who was defending his daughter, these six pieces of under-the-stove-greasy-buildup will get not more than five years, and not more than a $10,000 under the Minnesota sentencing guidelines.

I’m gonna guess that the victim is going to be paying for this crime a lot longer than the defendants.
