Woman hospitalized after social media stunt goes wrong in Orange County [CA] Target

Lana Clay-Monaghan, a new mom of twin boys, said she was shopping for baby supplies when she was caught completely off guard by four teenage boys who tossed a bucket over her head and then started recording. They eventually ran out of the store.

“I was looking at some baby soap. I leaned down and my whole world changed,” Clay-Monaghan told KTLA. “Everything went quiet, dark and there was really no air. I flipped off what was put over me, around my neck, and I turned around and looked over my left shoulder. To my dismay, it was a group of individuals who were filming me, seemingly for some sort of prank or maybe for something like TikTok.”

A 30-year cancer survivor, Clay-Monaghan says she developed epilepsy later in life and the assault deprived her of air. She fainted soon after the incident and was rushed to UC Irvine Medical Center.

Social media pranksters need some 9mm run through them.

I don’t know what punishment is appropriate for this, except a third degree assault charge, but they should at least get publicly humiliated for their stunt that could have killed her.

Well, thanks for the warning about this dumb prank.
Apparently none of the four boys even bothered to help her, this, after seeing her pass out.
I believe that is called criminal negligence.
Correct me if I’m wrong.

I hope you’d say that if they were 4 girls who did it.

In California, a third degree assault conviction is $1,000 and/or 6 months in custody. Since they are teens and were not meaning harm, I’d probably go with the $1000 find and a stiff talking to.

What needs to happen is an absolutely pitiless physical beating, not quite to permanent disablement but long past the point where they beg for mercy. Then the video of it should be posted on every social media platform.

Would that deter other idiots from doing stuff like this? Probably not, but it would amuse a lot of the rest of us.

The four boys probably figure there’s no punishment for juvenile crime so “Why not”

Not a prank and not a stunt. Assault.

Two weeks in juvenile detention just so they figure out that what they did was wrong and it was not funny.

AAABEST nails it!

Leave a few of these little a$$holes in pools of their own blood, on the sidewalk.

Lay this ALL off to lack of effective parenting...lack of ANY real parenting...

The utes, during their complete lifetimes, have observed that killing babies in the womb indiscriminately, and for whatever reason, is perfectly fine and acceptable.

Why would you expect them to behave any differently?

They’re reviewing surveillance footage, but can’t give any description...

Gut reaction is a group of melanated “teens” attacking different races for fun and laughs. It seems to be quite enjoyable to the tribes.

Her whole world changed. She’s never been the same since. The trauma has left her scarred for life. She can’t go outside for fear that it could happen again. She is afraid of teenage boys now. She can’t go to sleep because she keeps reliving the horrifying experience over and over driving her mad, mad, I tell you.

Some acquaintances in big retail management see an increase in that behavior. Most of the teens are in suburban families with higher incomes and parents with connections to local governments. They threaten to sue the stores, if anyone defies their special kids. Some police avoid doing anything about the incidents and are sometimes suspected of colluding.

The upper middle class punks are using cellphone texting to plot their crimes and to cover for them afterwards. Their adult family members or friends are often involved. Some use social media to bring more harassment against victims.

Many of the victims are elderly. Perpetrators sometimes accuse them of being pedophiles or human traffickers (a false accusation also often used by drug dealers against victims). The harassment sometimes goes beyond the stores and onto the roads.

It’s like a game for the brats and adults involved. They perceive some kind of self-superiority from it and pat each other on the back before going back to drugs, alcohol and stalking young women for drug facilitated rapes.
