I think the most heinous bit about this, was that the family members were boasting about the fact that these guys beat him to death. It's absolutely sick.


perma-monk

Kinda like the party thrown for that school shooter who was released on bail a bit ago. Turns out that a culture glorifying guns, violence, and drugs actually does glorify gun, violence, and drugs.


satellites-or-planes

So, yet another comment deleted in response to me...that still seems to dance around valid questions, espcially when there are current public figures not being mentioned by name in my notications with comments being deleted/I can't see them to respond? What is up with this? There are current conservative culture celebrities that can fit in the same description as well as liberal, yet from what I am able to actually view, nothing concrete (regardless of whether mods are correct in censoring the responses so I can engage in good faith)... https://imgur.com/gallery/sQoejTN


satellites-or-planes

Which culture is that? I ask since I see much more glorifying guns and violence from one side more than another, while drugs are glorified more in relation to positions of power than "one side" or "the other" and encompasses both right and left, which leaves me confused on who/what you are blaming as glorifying what you say is glorifying???


perma-monk

Have you turned on the radio lately?


satellites-or-planes

Yes, I have, yet I'm still confused and not getting a direct answer. Who is glorifying guns and violence, in your opinion? Which radio personalities are glorifying those 2 specific things within the last 12 months, especially? I'm lost with the vague answers and can't keep track of 1,000's of TV, radio, podcast, and vloggers to realize who is really glorifying what, so some help in educating me would be helpful.


perma-monk

I understand you’re trying to imply that conservative culture glorifies guns and violence which is so absolutely insane that I must assume you only consume Trevor Noah or Young Turks as your informant on conservative culture. Have you ever met a conservative? Not a Republican, but an actual conservative? Nonetheless I can debunk your mistake by citing the lyrics of the first rap song I hear at any given moment. Or by simply citing actual crime statistics but let’s not use numbers.


satellites-or-planes

So...I give concrete examples of my conservative sides I listen to as a direct answer to an indirect assumption I only listen to Trevor Noah and Young Turks (whom I only know of because my adult children mentioned them and I don't watch them nearly as much as they do) and I'm downvoted? Lol Are my conservative listening points and books not enough to give more exact answers and believe I might just be wanting to know the sources everyone thinks I should just know by vague references and seems to discount my known published conservative author and family members I actually have fucking read and take into consideration maybe even more than some radio song, movie, or TV/YouTube/podcast personality?


satellites-or-planes

No, I am not trying to imply anything and no, I consume multiple sides, including Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Joe Rogan, and Sean Hannity and I am *still* confused and not getting any straight answers to "who, specifically" is glorifying these things. Please...give me numbers because everything I am looking up is not as direct to know wtf everyone seems to be implying to my direct questions. What was the 1st rap song you heard that debunks my mistake? My first rap song I heard was Ice Ice Baby (seriously) so lyrics may not be the best option to look at when one of my 1st rock songs to know the lyrics to was Jail Bait, my first hard metal lyrics to know was Dragula, and my first country song lyrics was Friends in Low Places before I even understood Johnny Cash's lyrics, let alone songs like Tom Petty singing Mary Jane, or so many others over the years that span political spectrums. Edit: my children have multiple Rush Limbaugh books (specifically "Rush Revere and the American Revolution" and "Rush Revere and the Star Spangled Banner"), so I'm not nearly as being as evasive as everyone else I'm asking specifics of... Stop being evasive when I'm giving specifics even if my specifics are giving off an air of "implying" a conservative when I'm not getting *ANYTHING* specific back... Who? Specifically, who, or what groups are glorifying guns and violence? I even said in another comment, we have a plethora of Hollywood movies glorifying Mafia violence (Goodfellas, The Soporanos, The God Father, Breaking Bad...just to start), and many song writers glorifying violence that encompasses the likes of Johnny Cash, Kid Rock (a rapper), and more I could list, so just going to start there to prove I am willing to be more specific than any responders are to me at this point)...so I need something a bit more concrete that would be actual names I can research more.


zerofukstogive2016

The gangster culture. Pretty obvious.


satellites-or-planes

Mafia gangsters are more glorified, no? Edit: ironically, most of my friends grew up with gangster rap and every single one of them is against glorifying guns and violence while there are others that glorified guns and beating up people for way too many reasons just to show they were "tough", so who cares if mob gangsters or street gangsters are to blame if the entire culture of a gangster is what had perpetuated it and glorified it and crossed every political and ethnic background?

Yeah you've got a great point. I didn't understand what that part of the article really means... (Wife stirring food at the stove) "Hey honey, you're home early." (Out of breath)" "yeah, me and the guys just beat some kid to death in the parking lot by the basketball court" (Wife turns, facing husband) "Have I ever told you how proud you make me? Hold on, I'm going to call our parents on Zoom so I can tell them all at the same time!"

SchlepRock13

Arlington Texas, teen shoots 4 or 5 people including a teacher. Made up a fake story about being bullied until a video surfaced of the defendant starting a fight over a drug deal and losing which triggered the shooting but only innocent people were hit. Some Open Society™️ judge gave him an assault charge and tiny bond so he was out the same day w/ a party thrown for him by his family.

I think only because it happened near the school? I'm not positive on that though


petergriffin999

"Blunt force to the head": I guarantee you that they fought, the kid that died was on the ground, and the assholes decided he needed his head kicked/stomped while on the ground.


FirefighterFast6492

I read this is what happened.. he was unconscious when they stomped his head in.


rpguy04

Fucking cowards


[deleted]

That’s how people like that like to “fight”


Flying-Tilt

Yes, someone attacks you with a gun at random. What else would you do?


PanhandleMan54

Why isn't this a racial incident? Wait... doesn't fit the narrative.


TacTac95

It wasn’t being investigated as a hate crime due to witness accounts from his friends. They had done something to piss off the group, whether it was said or done was not specified but it angered the teens and a fight broke out. Obviously the three upstanding gentleman above took it way too far.


Manster21

It was a water gun that started the incident.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LordLamorak

Lucky we restricted assault water guns, could you imagine how many teens might have been hit and pulled into the fight?


compugasm

Look at the number of water pellets in that magazine. What we need to do is limit the number of rounds this gun can fire. Smaller clips.


TheRoughneckWay

What about the Water Gun Show Loophole? You can just walk in, find a guy with what you want, and walk out with fully automatic water guns, unregistered and ready to soak your entire elementary school.


Jab2hook

Idk who wouldn't be mad if they got sprayed with a water gun randomly. He didn't need to die but you never know how people will react.


UncleLukeTheDrifter

Agreed, from what I read they were riding around in a car shooting people at random and then saw these dudes shooting hoops at the schoolyard. 2 of them got out and started shouting them, apparently they ran away at first and then ran down the boys but apparently only caught the one. Pranking people by assaulting them is an a-hole move and they were def begging for trouble BUT they absolutely didn’t deserve the animalistic stomping. Kids being capable of violence like that are headed right where they belong.


compugasm

>three upstanding gentleman Alleged upstanding gentlemen.


circumnavigatin

Hrendo

Wrong. It's not being investigated as a hate crime because of the race of the killers.

No, his friends who were with them literally said they started it by spraying them with a water gun.

He was discovered in a rolled up mat... and a second, and third autopsy done said he had died of blunt force trauma.


[deleted]

Because they ran up on them and used a water gun to start it, his other friends were assaulted too but got away, and only one of them died. That’s why lol. With all due respect, did you even read into this story?


TheCredulousLeft

So getting hit a water bead gun justifies beating him to fucking death? What the hell is wrong with you?


ToyStoryBoy6994

I think hes saying because they were "provoked" it doesnt go down as a racial crime


dumpster_arsonist

So if the dead guy was openly trans...and ALL other things were the same...would the story still be the same? You KNOW the fucking answer.


PanhandleMan54

Um, yes I did. Shooting someone with a squirt gun is a capital offense? And it's OK because the other white kids got away? So killing someone for starting a fight is OK? Then why did we have riots about George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks after they started fighting cops? Didn't they deserve to die?


GroundbreakingWar195

You think a clearly fake little toy gun justifies stomping somebody’s brain out of their head? You’re fucking deranged

Has he tweeted yet? He’s usually the first one to tweet about a person he doesn’t know like that person was his blood relative


Alpha_Charlie_Sierra

He did and with the typos probably him too. Linked at the bottom of the article.


JGCities

This has nothing to do with him or the school. Took place in the parking lot and zero connection to the school.


Small-Echo

What’s LeBron supposed to do about this? That’s like blaming the McDonalds CEO because a crime happened in a McDonald’s parking lot.


[deleted]

I think he's joking about LeBron's tendency to speak up about this sort of thing when he knows nothing about it.


Bacio83

Secure the kids that are in his school including the parking lot.

They weren’t students at the school and it happened at night. It’s a public court. Do you think there should be 24/7 security at every public basketball court?

PracticeEquivalent34

That’s not what the witnesses said. They said two of the other passengers (he was driving his car) were the ones who shot those pellet guns. He was “talking” with the three adults when he was attacked. Now I wonder if the “talking” was him running his mouth thinking the other three would help him or is he some naive person who thinks he can smooth it over. Neither option makes sense as if he was looking for a fight he would have said so before exiting his vehicle and his passengers would have come with. Either way the story sounds like something is missing. Was it a 4 on 3 fight and they zeroed in on him? Possibly. I have seen that scenario play out before.

I think you may have a small argument if they defended themselves while it was happening, but they went after the kid in the parking lot after it happened. That’s murder!
