I am sorry Vrai. I realise these kids were driven to beat this white kid, I realise this is their right as an oppressed people. Just as it is the right of the fellow who shot up the Mayor and city Council and two police officers today . Obviously he was being picked on.
I am not saying the kids who hung the nooses arent punks also, but the noose didnt injure anyone,It may have offended them, but it didnt hurt them ,and it is strange that instead of attacking those who hung the nooses ,these 6 upright kids who you feel sorry for attacked a lone white boy who just happened along. I went to High School and we had fights, but I dont ever remember a fight where I had any help , and I fought a few. 6 boys would never even think of beating up on one. Cowardice wasnt an admirable trait back then,and no matter what anyone says when a gang of 6 beats up on one kid ,there are cowards in that bunch. Read the story :This lad walked up behind the person he assaulted and choked him from behind , he didnt have the courage to face the boy he assaulted,but attacked him from behind. Big as he is he doesnt have courage.
This 19 yo man isnt the brightest bulb on the tree either as he is awaiting trial which could put him behind bars for 20 years, and still assaulting people.
The way I read that story he beat up on a kid he apparently suspected had vandalised his car. No proof just suspect. The story says he is 6 foot 6 inches ,a big kid (kid ?? he is 19), I would bet the 18 year old he choked wasnt near that large. By the way ,most kids had graduated before they reached their 19th birthday back when I went to school.
I am sorry ,but a boy this large who attacks a lone kid with 6 others and who continues attacking other kids even while awaiting trial, a cowardly attack from behind is a punk of the worst kind, who will one day kill someone.
I dont feel sorry for him , I feel sorry for the Community he lives in.
