“How is it mutual combat when my son didn’t have anything to combat with?” asks Manuel Porties of the state’s attorney’s office decision.
An Illinois family mourning the death of their 18-year-old son is outraged that no murder charges will be filed in conjunction with his death due to what prosecutors are calling “mutual combat.”
Manuel Porties, Jr. was killed Tuesday after being stabbed to death during a recorded, planned fight in Schaumburg, a town located 30 miles east of Chicago.
According to WGN 9, video of the fight shows Porties Jr. being punched in the face by a 17-year-old, who then stabs him in the neck as he lies on the ground.
The younger teenager has not been identified but has been charged with misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon.
“They’re saying that it’s mutual combat,” said the slain man’s father, Manuel Porties. “How is it mutual combat when my son didn’t have anything to combat with? The only thing he had was his two hands.”
“He stood over my son and finished him,” he added, “and that’s not murder?”
In a statement, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said, “After an extensive review of the available information presented to us, including a discussion with the Schaumburg Police Department, we determined that the evidence was insufficient to meet our burden of proof to file murder charges.”

Sure sounds like murder to me.
Here's the loser.
He probably voted for it.
No sympathy
Mutual combat
So....in Illinois a fight-to-the-death is only a misdemeanor. Check.
What is Chicago’s definition of murder?
Black on black. That life does not matter, apparently.
Setting aside the details of this case, I’m afraid the future is going to feature a lot of vigilante justice and revenge killing. The legal system is brewing up a toxic concoction.
Schaumberg has a bad mayor and AG and is bad city?
Could be, but I’m thinkin’ that’s not what you meant...
Without reading further, the whole thing sounds sick.
And that means sounds like the “victim” was in on it, and just as well could’ve been the “winner”/perp.
Sounds like human-fighting, as opposed to dog-fighting and cock-fighting.
Looks like Manuel Porties, Sr. will have to take care of it himself. That’s what happens when there is no judicial system.
I hate to say it, but if he’s black, that may be the reason.
Meet me at the flag pole at 3:30. No friends!
