Credit: Local 10 News/Coral Springs Police Department Coral Springs, Florida – The Gateway Pundit reported last week a shocking video emerged showing a helpless teen student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (MSD) being ferociously slammed into the ground on his head and then beaten during a brawl.
The victim suffered a skull fracture and multiple other injuries resulting from the vicious assault. The beaten teen was transported to the hospital and is now recovering at home.
Now, justice appears to have arrived for the perpetrators involved, though the father of one of the suspects claims there is more to the story.
As Local 10 News reported, Coral Springs Police have now charged five Florida teenagers involved in the horrific beating. One suspect remains at large.
The teens in custody were identified as 16-year-old Sylvester Hicks, 17-year-old Jahmeer Beauziel, 17-year-old Caleb Hensley, 16-year-old Jordan Thompson, and 15-year-old Chinua Leefatt.

The New York Post reported that officials at MSD and Coral Glades identified the alleged attackers, and police obtained arrest affidavits on Thursday.
Hicks, Leefatt, Thompson, and Hensley were in custody on Friday according to Local 10 News. Beauziel turned himself in on Monday.
Each youth was charged with felony battery.
But the father of one of the suspects dubiously claims the police have it all wrong, and there is evidence that proves his son was acting in self-defense.
Barrington Leefatt, the father of Leeffatt, told Local 10 News reporter Hatzel Vela that the victim instigated the brawl by slugging his son first.
“That boy is not innocent, I’m telling you,” said Leffett.
“So, you’re saying he was attacked first?” asked a surprised Vela.
“He was attacked first. I have video in that,” replied Leffett. “My son is the victim here.”
Marjorie Stoneman Douglas School Principal Michelle Kefford sent a letter to parents last week saying she hopes to expel the youths involved in the assault.
We are also doing everything we can through district processes to ensure these students do not return to our campus.
My PASTOR trained me in the proper use of firearms and I got my CCL in FL and always carried.
Even in church.
Especially in church, since it was outdoors.
All the deacons were armed. I was Minister of Music so that made me a “deacon” too.
I was actually an “elder” in the original sense of the word. And old biker woman.
Maybe the cows showed up after you left. :-)
As an adult, I lived in Miami from 1961 to 1999.
I viewed Broward County as poorly policed, poorly permitted, poorly administered, largely corrupted, and would never live there.
New Yorkers seem to have polluted still another nest.
I remember the bagel restaurant. I used to eat hot wings at Tarks, Bill and his son ran the business. I loved fishing C14 and riding our bikes out to the sawgrass.
They were on vacay.................
Probably all gone now, replaced with condos.............
My wife and I lived right off corner of Sample and University when we were first married in the katr 90s. It was an awesome place for a young couple. Walk to lots of restaurants, shops etc. There was an amazing Greek diner just a few blocks away, and an Irish pub across from that.
We drove through the area a few years ago to check it out - yuck.
Just as I figured.........................
Aha...right near the Masjid where the iman was arrested for terrorism.
We neighbors tried to prevent its building, along with our beloved rep Joe Kaufman, and our congressman A.W. but they snuck it in. Grrrrr.
Did you ever go to Wings Plus on University? One of my favorite hangouts.
Just Zulus being Zulus.
Wait...one of them has a father???

Not a single word from local Miami media about racism or hate crimes.
In 81, I worked (AT&T/BellSouth) job on a “ranch” in Parkland. The family (as I was told)owned a Section. It was about 3-4 miles west of 7/441. They had a airstrip(1 single engine, high wing) hundreds of Guineafowl & caged pheasants. Nice Family, never heard what happened to them.
Yes, the father of Chihuahua...........
It’s all built up now, really encroaching on the Everglades, and abutting up against Loxahatchie Road, which used to be all Everglades. Margory Douglas is spinning in her grave over Parkland. And then they had the nerve to name the High School after her.

“I could have sworn I heard on the news that he died last week.........”
Another, similar incident, except in Las Vegas
