#HighSchool #LasVegas #Beating
“You can be certain that in the last days there will be some very hard times. People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud, stuck-up, rude, and disobedient to their parents. They will also be ungrateful, godless, heartless, and hateful. Their words will be cruel, and they will have no self-control or pity. These people will hate everything good. They will be sneaky, reckless, and puffed up with pride. Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure. Even though they will make a show of being religious, their religion won’t be real. Don’t have anything to do with such people.”
(2 Timothy ch.3)
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 life in jail please! And they parents should be held accountable for raising thugs
Wow! This is the kids that USA raised! No correction, so here what is the result! Poor guy!
Look at all the Black people. Hate crime, black people are the worst offenders when it come to race card and justified attacks.
And of course they’re all black..!
13% ers cause 80%+ of killing crimes. Jackals.
What was the complexion of the suspects?
Wow can’t say what I really want to say. This is awful!
Only 13% committing 80% of violent crime in America. Change the culture.
I don’t see this is a hate crime but all these teens who joined in, filmed this without a conscience to stop it and those cheering should be jailed.
So many comments about it being a “hate crime”. A child was not jumped because of the color of skin.
I never understand the obsession with certain demographics of people, desiring to have a reverse-racism victim mentality. Yet will call anybody else vocalizing grievances a snowflake
However and this is a comical part, the true racist are the ones that want the maximum punishment applied because of the color of the kids attacking. But on the other hand if it was kids that look like that then they would say this is just a “high school fight that went wrong”.
Dumb parents= dumb kids
Lol @ all the people calling this a hate crime. Stop race baiting and just condemn the crime.
This is beyond sad. I can’t imagine what he went through in those final moments. I wouldn’t have sat composed as the dad. An eye for an eye.
Shrek! Shrek! I’m looking at their skin color Shrek!
This is the first time I’m seeing the actual video. Looks pretty bad. It’s like pack mentality took over and ran the whole event. Who was it that the deceased boy agreed to fight?? I know it couldn’t have been 8 other kids! In court, the three defendants I saw wore death metal shirts and were different socalled races. Smh very tragic.
No, that’s crazy
Animals.
Those 15 or so jumping him , are a bunch of puppies
I’m gonna have to go out on a limb here, Mika, and blame Putin for this!
— Morning Shmoe (Probably)
Maybe they were practicing for the Police Academy exams. I hear they can be pretty competitive.
If I was their defense attorney I would demand they be charged as cops. cops are adults.
this a racist fueled hate crime
looks like all the attackers were black & victim was white – so is this a hate crime too in addition to murder?
Can’t get the jungle out of them.
Why are those kids facing hate crimes as well? You know if this was white kids doing this to a black person that would be the first thing said. 😢😢😢😢
Disgusting.
How do u stand there n just video it? A bunch of cowards. That u all have to jump him. Absolute punks.
I guess hate crimes aren’t as bad if the victim is white.
Read my posts please
Read my posts
Prison or not ill never let myself be a victim like that
Wouldn’t that be a hate crime
Animales.
How are people going to help police identify these people when their faces are blurred.
Racist hate crime!!
Animals
The video shows some of the kids fighting each other as well. It appears to be a gang fight. People need to watch the video before making unjustly commits .
I would bet huge (no pun intended because it is Vegas) that group of murderers had no father in their lives teaching right from wrong. Their mothers should be charged with child neglect.
Punk thugs. Shall they never enjoy freedom ever again.
Notice how since the victim was white and the murderers were black, they don’t mention race once in this video. If it were the other way around this would be all over the news from every station for weeks. Every mainstream news outlet is hypocritical garbage, designed to make people ignorant and ill informed.
I’m going to guess that these people were poorly parented.
All of them should be charged as adults.
I hope they never get out of prison but we all know they will be out at 21 so the can do this to another person
Hate crime.
Hope they all do life in jail. Of course they are black! Nothing new here! Any speeches from Lebron or any famous black person? If this was the other way around their would be riots going on right now! This crazy! Poor kid.
Justice for Jonathan Lewis Jr
Call Attorney General in Las Vegas
If that was a black teen murdered by white teens the black community would be in a uproar!! This is a hate crime and a murder.
Speak up for your rights !! Rights arw taken nort given
Marijuana. You know, that low level, non violent crime…
Not sure how it was back in the 60s, 70s, 80s etc but teenagers nowadays are vicious. There was an incident a few months ago in Long Beach where this guy was lured by a teen girl and got jumped by a mob of teens. He has a big strong guy and they sent him to the hospital. Now he is scared going outside where there is a lot of teens around.
Failed parenting is what it is.
The same stuff happened….
It’s just a mob mentality.
This is absolutely crazy to me. 8 kids did this, not one of them thought this is wrong and needs to stop. Eight kids, was it like mob mentality? I’m so sorry that a young boy died but do not feel bad for any of those that murdered him. I pray they are all tried as adults and are found guilty. They not only took this boys life but they now will have no lives if justice does it’s job. My heart goes out to the family and friends of this boy. What a senseless crime, may they find peace one day. May the 8 that did this never have any peace in their lives again. They deserve to rot in prison as far as I’m concerned. They never thought, this is too much we need to stop, not one of them?
This is a hate crime. If the races were reversed, there would be looting and rioting in the streets!
White kids can no longer live with those animals 😢
Funny what would the headline s say if it had been whites stomping a black
It’s murder.
Lester Holt is a spineless clown
Wow this is heartbreaking
100% Hate crime. Bury those racist kids under the prison…. Isn’t this what the other side would say if the roles were reversed?
Black
Wow 😢 it’s time to wake up….. this is ignorance at its finest those kids deserve the worst punishment for what they have done but we continue to allow this to happen
imagine if the colors were swapped…
This is absolutely unacceptable 😢😢I hope they get charged as adults. They all need Jesus.
Wake up USA…vote Trump !
Peak black culture
BLM
Well, there goes the notion that the younger generation is getting more “progressive” and compassionate. It would be nice if school fights were a thing of the past, but apparently it’s even worse now.
I’ll assume the BLM mob wont make too much of a mention of this. I can only imagine what it would be like if the races were reversed
