A homeless man in Little Havana yelled a nasty pickup line at a young woman, enraging her so much that she and three friends beat him to death with a metal chair, a piece of steel rebar, a rock and a wooden stick, police said Tuesday.

The four friends, who grew up together and whose families attend the Church of the Soldiers of the Cross of Christ, have been charged with second-degree murder.

Police said the beating, which took place early Saturday, was so brutal that the 67-year-old victim's body struck and shattered an apartment building's glass door.

''It was pretty vicious,'' said Miami homicide Detective Freddy Ponce.

1. This from the values crowd.....

All they know is violence...

2. They Took Soldiering for Christ

a little too literally.

3. While I can well understand why they snapped

I think a sound thrashing that left him bloody and humiliated would have been sufficient.

Guys, this behavior is NOT ATTRACTIVE.

We know what it means.

7. He was 67

You recommend a "sound thrashing" on a senior citizen?

8. Kind of hard to know when to stop

Plenty of murderers rotting in prison who intended nothing more than "a sound thrashing that left him bloody and humiliated."

Violence probably isn't the best way to handle a lewd suggestion.

Would you have said the same thing about Emmett Till, I wonder?

9. Mister, it's a far cry from understanding a thing

to repeating it.

Again, this is not attractive.

And we know why men do it.

10. I don't understand how they "snapped"?

Can you explain it?

4. The Church of the Soldiers of the Cross of Christ, what kind of name is...

that? Does this church preach non-violence?

6. Apparently Not!

5. Onward christian soldiers
