LAS VEGAS (KTNV) - A senseless act of random violence.

That's what Luis Campos's family said happened early Sunday morning outside a nightclub in Las Vegas, leading to his death.

Campos was visiting Las Vegas from La Puente, California. He was celebrating his brother's impending marriage. Police said Campos was standing in line to get inside the nightclub when two men approached him and an argument ensued.

One of the men threw a punch at Campos, knocking him to the ground and causing his head to hit the pavement. It was that punch that killed Campos, a husband and father of five children.

A single punch can be deadly. There are hundreds of cases.

Hopefully the perps will be prosecuted and convicted. The judge needs to show no mercy in sentencing for this kind of behavior.

One of Obama’s children, an Amish visitor to Las Vegas, or an illegal alien?

Article says it was senseless. But it also makes it sound like he may have been targeted, in that he was approached by these two fellas. So insufficient as the reason may have been, there may have been some reason for it, not senseless.

Not even a minimal description of the two murderers, other than that they were “men.”

Journalism in the U.S. has been replace by excremental droppings from the squatting fifth-column leftist media.

...how many other people experience serious injuries, including brain damage, because of one punch - 10, 20, 50, 100, or more?

Yep, I used to work with a guy who was as pleasant a person as you would ever want to meet. One day someone walked up to him and punched him in the head. No one ever knew who did it or why. Even him; he had no memory of it. He didn't come back to work for six months, and when he did, it was like he'd had a lobotomy. Clearly he didn't remember me, though he tried to act like he did. The personality, intelligence everything about him was gone. He was a completely different person.

From a link at the source it was two Hispanics in their 20s.

Based on the security camera clips the two men who assaulted the victim seemed to be Hispanic in origin.
Hopefully they are caught and brought to Justice.
This would be good for all parties. The criminals don't want to face the Final Justice on the other side of the grave without having repented on this side...

What is this, The Time Tunnel? Las Vegas hasn’t had “early Sunday morning” yet.

I wouldn’t think judges in Las Vegas would be that sympathetic to the victim, but hopefully I am wrong.

Offer a fat reward, “friends” of the murderer will squeal like pigs for the right price.

Just because someone is empty-handed does not by any means indicate they do not pose a lethal threat. List of 235 times people were killed by a single punch: bit.ly/2epNPuI

I knew a guy that was killed with one punch back in 80s. He was drunk, got in a scuffle in a bar, they got tossed, they met up in parking lot, he got dropped with one shot and cracked his head on concrete.

Getting sucker punched is bad. A man in our neighborhood took his twin girls to a concert. Somehow he passed out (not from any drinking or anything), he just got light headed. He hit his head on the cement. Now he can’t work, he has gained a bunch of weight and he cannot concentrate at all. It is so sad for him and his family.

Harry Houdini? Nah, Harry was hit 4 times in the gut, not just once, as popular rumors have it.
