![Full Bharara: ‘The idea that [the Trump hush-money probe] is unprecedented is just false’](https://iml-jp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/10abb8285cf83bdcaf1911ef1bf0aaf1.jpg)
Bullying is torture. Torture is a war crime.
Thus, no matter the age, bullies should face charges of those crimes, with the highest possible sentences.
Further, during their penalty imprisonment, deny them any education or comfort.
Thus, even if a bully survives prison, they have no hope of getting a job or being able to have nice things in society.
School bullies should face consequences. Or you will see another quiet kid school shootings in schools.
Horrific. So hard to believe kids are this awful….
I hope this young man makes a full recovery and the ones who did this to him serve jail time.
Remove the Tax Exempt Status of American Churches and fund Education! End the cults of ignorance, gullibility, violence and hate!
Arrest them. Sue the parents for bringing these degenerates into the world. Then let the parents take it out on them.
Must be the USA
why is he hanging out with these people, why is he drinking and taking pills around them, Part of this is his own lack caring for himself seems like unfortunately
It’s ALWAYS vodka. Hope he recovers.
Eff those b*tches. Throw them in jail !!!! Hope upon hope that he gets out of ICU fully healed… he and his life will be better than any of them ever would or could have been or hope to have. Bullies are such STUPID people.
Freaky weird here. The kid was totally cool with the stuff that was being done to him it seems. Kinky perhaps?
CHARGE THEM AS ADULTS THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.
Bullying is just another aspect of Right Wing people. Republicans care of and for other human beings in general is exactly what Jesus was murdered for fighting against. So any time a Republican talks about Jesus, remind them, they killed him.
If the situation was reversed, it would be a hate crime.
Those kids in the video did that to him, sad, sad days ahead for that young man if he’s ever the same. It sucks royally cause if the victim doesn’t die but is nothing more then a vegetable they get off more-a-less Scott Free. But no wants to see him pass away just to charge those teens with harsher felonies…I just hope he can get justice.
Makes sense.
The US is basically an out of control frat house full of immaturity.
Perhaps if we drop the term “bullying” as it’s not a term that we as adults use. Too grade school. Personal terrorism is what it should be called.
Don’t fall asleep around people. Had some fat chick sitting on my face(pants on)at a party. Why was he hanging around these guys anyways? Once you start that sht, I’m probably leaving and not coming back.
This is murder not “bullying”
Wonder why there won’t be charges? Oh that’s right, he’s White.
OMG this awful sending prayers for him 🙏 and these sick!! there not kids they are monsters pure evil to do something like this to a person..scary world
Look like some preppi dudes.
Micro.
💔😢😢😢
Best wishes Trent,family, and friends 🛐💟☮️
Everyone please pray for this beautiful young man❤
There’s another term for this type of ‘bullying.’ It’s called ‘attempted murder.’
A white sausage party with pretend alpha males, what can go wrong?
We proud of ourselves yet?
I agree – that’s torture!
Sounds about white….. Doubt they would react if he was black ….or trans ….
if the FBI actually made it a habit to do their jobs then national security wouldn’t be an issue.
THIS IS DISGUSTING!!! If these kids want to be acting like adults they should be accountable as adults!! Charged to the fullest!
And you know every single one of those kids knows exactly who did what and they’re gonna talk
Sounds like he needs to be in group home if he’s still getting bullied at 19 js
After the first time you would think he would find a new set of people to hang out with.
You live in a society that will call CPS for spanking your child and y’all are really saying blame the parents. How about you blame yourselves for electing people who let our society fall so much
After the first time I would have told him to fight back. How does this happen twice???
Put these bullies inside the jail for a very long time
They need to be tried as adults. It’s common to know what spray paint, alcohol and pills can do. God bring back good health to this young man.
Our nation is built on bullying. So, how you gonna stop it?
And these bullies will be your future police officers . You heard him we know who they are but no charges filed . Whats that tell you ?
The bullies should have life in prison. 😡.
I been saying that
Justice for the kid 😢😢😢
FBI investigates IRS bullying of a reporter ?
What exactly happened.
To calm this bullying is incorrect.
My sympathy and empathy for this young person and his family.
But Melania Trump solved bullying right??? 😢
This is the state where Marjorie Taylor Greene won. Not surprised
No one ever accused you of being bright.
this isn’t bullying this is attempted murder kidnapping with some torture sprinkled in
If they aren’t charging EVERYONE who was involved — parents, too — then they are only enabling this to continue. This is an insane level of bullying, it doesn’t start at these levels. They’re just working up to killing someone, that is IF they haven’t already.
I like how the media is covering college initiations as bullying lmao
This is not even bullying: this is extreme abuse, psychopathy and sadism. Those teens need to be in jail for a long time
These minor bullies need to be tried as adults and found guilty of attempted murder and torture and sentenced to at least 25 years in prison
This isn’t bullying. This is more like torture and assault. I don’t know how a group of people can pick on one person like this. They need to be punished with jail time – minor or not
This has to be fraternity related. I was in a frat in my first round of college (not the best choice in retrospect), and this is totally something I would expect in that environment. It’s unacceptable no matter what, and I agree with previous posts that the bullies and parents need to be held accountable
how is this not attempted murder
They knew what they were doing. They knew they were wrong. They were either piece of s**** at birth or they were raised to be pieces of s**** but they either way they need to be charged enough is enough. They know they’re punk pieces of s*** they know they’re going to jail. I say let him sweat it for a bit, then grab them, then throw them in jail. Parents of those children……….
I have a certain implement that is adorned with certain other tools it is branded with the words lessons for Bullys
EXPOSE THE PERPS AND THEIR PARENTS with equal media attention given the brutalized victim. What an enormous insult to gray out their guilty faces.
The neighbor said it all
He should stop drinking
What a handsome young man, they were probably bullying him because they were jealous at him. I hope these kids are held accountable for what they did to this handsome young man. Hope he recovers and he can share his side of the story with the world. Bullying needs to stop!
That ain’t bullying…that’s assault and torture and possibly attempted murder…
I’m sure these are holy church going families too …Its all about family and kids…GREAT JOB PARENTS! Hope his family sues the holy draws off those animals….KARMA IS REALLY!
What they need to do is get some of these celebrities to put out the message in schools that it’s ok to speak up of this is happening and it is really lame to bully other kids ots alarming how many kids take their life over this it must be addressed on a way larger scale
Heartbreaking. He could certainly have died. They all need to be prosecuted.
Wonder what the parents have to say about all of this
Father has to do something. Please man up and go on the warpath for your son. Take it in blood
This is absolutely terrible. Why can’t people just leave others alone. Keep your hands to yourself.
attempted murder and torture is exactly what it was…justice needed
Why is the FBI not investigating the IRS for bullying Witnesses?
Why are White people so horrible?!? Until other White people start calling them out, none of this is going to change. You think it’s just a coincidence that the vast majority of mass shooters are White? And their targets are so often other White people. You think it’s a coincidence that the vast majority of bullies are White? The USA is only 60.1% White according to the census.
We really gotta stop avoiding making excuses, and call people out for their bad behaviour and then maybe we can start healing as a country. Maybe if we didn’t paint such an infallible picture of our historical figures as perfect heroes, and called them out for the monsters they actually were…maybe White Americans wouldn’t view themselves as perfect.
A great example is our Presidents. In American History, we paint George Washington and Thomas Jefferson as two of the greatest men in America’s annals…however…
Of the first 12 Presidents, 10 of them were slave owners! In fact, George Washington & Thomas Jefferson were the two WORST! They each OWNED 600+ slaves!!!
The only 2 Presidents who were the outliers were called “John Adams”…our №2 President John Adams, and our №6 President John Quincy Adams…father and son. Proving that anti-rαcism is taught, just like rαcism is taught.
School encourage bullying they do nothing about even when show evidence.
Inhumane torture
they should go to prison
Drinking and hanging out with the wrong people. Bullying? And what was the conversation like with his parents after the first time this happened?
Heres what i dont get. Why was he hanging out constantly with his “bullies” like once is enough, but if you go back and keep hanging out with your abusers thats on you. Still, those teens should be charged with Murder or attempted murder
I pray this young guy makes a full recovery. And stays away from drugs and alcohol. Also find some good people to call his friends.
Oh no!! I am praying for his full recovery and the strength for his family and true friends.. now it’s time to get down to business.. find everyone of those boys and their families and do unto them what they did to that young man ❤😢
This is what happens when there is NO accountability! I’m tired of people using the “minor” excuse, even 2 and 3 year olds understand right from wrong! Adult actions are deserving of adult consequences.
Who is responsible? They have the pictures. They know who’s responsible and once they have one all these kids turm into rats.
DA HECK
This is definitely sad! I hope they find the guilty ones, throw them in jail, and give the poor victim justice. No one should be the target of bullying or the victim of any heinous crimes. My prayers are with him and his family.
Bullying is never ok, and unfortunately has been tolerated way too much over decades.
Out the icu and green light for the “friends “
This is no “bullying incident”. Four psychotic kids kidnapped and repeatedly assaulted and tortured this student. What punishment does the law allow?
Why has no one arrested the parents yet?
Parents are responsible for this. After all children belong to their parents until they turn 18!
Charge them with attempted murder.
Make it a FELONY NATION WIDE FOR BULLYING..NO EXCEPTIONS.
Its sad, to see what young people endure every day falling victim to punks
from acts of malice without a conscience
these punks today have no regard for consequences
When he first came home covered in vomit. The father should of done something. I would of kept him home if he has a mental disability that prevents him from knowing he’s being tortured.
Okay if this happened to a minority I doubt anyone would care. But just because the victim white. Everyone!! Wants to help😂its pathetic the level of help these people get. Yet minority murders go unsolved. Even when the suspect is caught!! Charges get dropped. Etc.
ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGES
