One suspect is only 14 years old
Five suspects — three adults and two juveniles — have been charged in a brutal assault caught on video outside a convenience store in Klein, Texas, last month.
Arrest warrants have been issued for a pair of 19 year olds — Eric Bradley and Ezkeyeleon Wilson — as well as for 18-year-old Seth Coles, KTRK-TV reported. Two other suspects — ages 16 and 14 — are also charged with assault, KTRK said.
Anyone who knows how to find Bradley, Wilson, and Coles are asked to call the Harris County Sheriff's Office Violent Crime Unit at 713-274-9100 or Crime Stoppers, the station said.
What's the background? The victim in the June 14 attack — a shopper at the Food Mart at 7134 Oakwood Glen Blvd. — was waiting to buy some items when a group tried to cut in line, KTRK-TV reported in an earlier story.
"I looked over and said, 'There's a line for a reason,'" the shopper told the station.
Words were exchanged, and he added to KTRK that the group mocked his hair and clothes.
Then comes the beatdown
After he paid and left, the group met him in the parking lot and took turns kicking and punching him, the station said.
The victim told KTRK he just took the beating. Video of the attack shows he didn't fight back or protect himself.
"I don't know what else I could do," he added to the station. "The fifth one at the end came out of the store after purchasing goods and came up to me and kicked me in the face and said, 'Black lives matter, [expletive].'"
The victim suffered a swollen lip, bruising, and a cut near his eye, KTRK reported, adding that Harris County Sheriff's deputies said he refused to seek treatment.
Here's surveillance video of the attack:
The victim and his girlfriend asked not to be identified out of fear for their safety, the station said, adding that she said she's received death threats.
"I really hope they're caught before someone else gets hurt," his girlfriend added to KTRK. "I hope that the people take this and don't say, 'It's white against black.' I don't want this to be the statement. I want it to be, 'Here's a man who was checking out and stood up for himself, and he was targeted for that.'"
Some suspects are believed to be tied to another attack Investigators believe some of the suspects in the Food Mart attack are tied to another brutal assault a few days later in southeast Houston, KTRK said in its latest story.
Video from the Houston attack shows a car backing up in a parking lot when it was hit by an SUV, the station said, adding that the SUV's driver got out and was beaten unconscious by up to six people.

What do the black Panthers say about all this? Do they even exist anymore? How about Sharpton? Who the hell wants to be around blacks?
Reminds me of a line from the movie Demolition Man. Murder Death Kill.
“look a the monkey run....”
Criminal black lives are superfluous and really don’t matter now
I hope they do take this as "White Against Black" because that's exactly what this is.
At what point does the genocide begin?
“I don’t know what else I could do,”
Breathtakingly passive and weak. Wow. If he’s representative of his generation he’s in for a tough life.
Nothing will come of this case. They will no be jailed for any inconvenient term exceeding hours, and then community service. The victim needs reparations.
It’s past time for the white majority to inflict legal pain on the radical black minorities destroying the country. They need to be destroyed to save America.
Radical Black minorities are in fact enemies of the total black citizenry
If he passively took it in front of his girlfriend THAT relationship is OVER no matter what he or she is saying right now.
For some reason, race was not mentioned in the article.........
What you call “white privilege” i call self defense.
Does it have to be?
You have a DUTY to be armed and shoot these bastards. It’s like taking out a rattlesnake to protect the kids and dogs.
Correct!
That’s not real, is it?
That’s the headline that appeared when I turned on AOL this morning to check my emails.
I watch these very closely so I can learn the warning signs.
The PRIMARY warning sign is a group of 4 or more feral zombies.
The SECONDARY warning sign can be, but not neccessary to occir, having words with said group.
The TERTIARY warning sign, and the sign that you should be in fear for your life, draw your weapon and protect your life, is that said group is a) outside loitering and b) approaches you.
Also, somewhat surprised this is happening in Texas, being as they are so strong a gun culture.
