Two Louisiana teenagers have been charged with second-degree murder in an attack motivated by a competition between the two to see who could hit harder, according to local police.
Windall Herring, 19, and an unnamed 15-year-old were arrested in Baton Rouge on Tuesday for the murder of 55-year-old John Bannon.
The attack occurred near Bannons home around 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 1. Bannon was rushed to a hospital trauma unit, but succumbed last Friday to his injuries which included a fractured skull and brain hemorrhaging, according to The (Baton Rouge) Advocate.
During our investigation we learned that the suspects were having a conversation about who could hit the hardest when suddenly the victim was observed walking in close proximity to their location, Baton Rouge spokesman Cpl. Don Coppola Jr. told The Daily Caller News Foundation. It was decided at that moment by the suspects that they were going to target the victim together and intentionally strike him with their fist to determine who in fact could hit the victim the hardest.
The investigation also led police to believe that the suspects asked Bannon whether he had anything of value on him. The police could not provide if anything of value was taken from him, said Coppola Jr.
Witnesses to the attack said the two suspects fled the scene after throwing the fatal punch....

Windal Herring
Disgusting piece of crap. I am really starting to not like some people.
Hang them in the town square, Period.
I’m way beyond that at this point.
this folks is capital murder
All a test to see how much punishment the American people will take before retaliating. Apparently, quite a lot. :(
Why can’t the Police call it what it is: Pre-Meditated Murder?
come on folks....they’re disadvantaged and undereducaded and probably hungry for some good home cooking....can’t we just raise the minimum wage and save these poor people from these lives of crime...???
Would I be racist to inquire as to the race of the victim in this crime?
No, no cherry, you’ve got it all wrong. They are starting to get their lives together and are aspiring rap artists!f
As far as these two yutes go, I’d rather shoot em and feed them to the hogs. That would not only save them from a further life of crime, but also be beneficial to the hogs.
I want to know the race of the victim.
The 55 year old victim was white.
White.
Part 'em out for their organs.
Thank you. I repeat what I said on another thread, maybe we need a demonstration by all the victims of black criminals.
Maybe we need to start demanding some social justice for the rest of us.
And it’s going to come down to who hit him harder, causing his death. So now each will be denying he’s the strongest.
White, from the photo I saw.
