Six Arrested, Including 4 Juveniles, in Beating Death of Family Services Counselor ( Los Angeles )
City News Service ^ | January 4, 2021

Six people were arrested on suspicion of murder in a weekend assault that left a 25-year-old Los Angeles family services counselor dead, sheriff's officials said Monday.

Deputies were called about 9:50 p.m. Saturday to 5300 Angeles Vista Blvd. in the unincorporated Windsor Hills area, the site of Wayfinder Family Services, a nonprofit organization that provides support services to children, adults and families, said Deputy Joana Warren of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

They found David Mcknight-Hillman, who worked at the organization, suffering from injuries that indicated he was beaten, Warren said.

Mcknight-Hillman, who was responsible for "the day-to-day care of the residents" at Wayfinder, was taken to a hospital, where he died, she said.

Investigators determined that Mcknight-Hillman was attempting to break up a fight when he was assaulted by seven people -- two 18-year-olds and five juveniles, according to Warren. Six of the suspects have been arrested, including the two 18-year-olds, who were booked into jail on suspicion of murder, Warren said.

The adults were identified as Nyier Mason and Keith Lewis.

One juvenile suspect has not been found.

Detectives are continuing to investigate the death, Warren said, adding that anyone with information should call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.

I guess that family needs “counseling”. Does “counseling” involve prison time???

I remember how social work students in the ‘80s wore black on some days to mourn the existence of “the patriarchy,” heterosexuality, etc.

Am I a bad person because I suspect the dead counselor was a bleeding heart idiot who thought he was safe but got his just desserts?

If only that social worker had not decided to get involved in a fight between ferals. Ferals will fight among themselves, but both sides are likely to turn on any white person who tries to insert himself.

If the fight does not involve anyone important to you, walk away. If the fight DOES endanger someone important to you, recognize that a volatile group represents a deadly threat (as happened here) which justifies immediate use of deadly force.

My thoughts too. No doubt all involved were ‘victims of society’. You can’t fix stupid.

Wasn’t this one of the people the Left wants to replace the police with?

Cough, cough...

No. It's just a good guess.

Pardon me if I will not assume the social worker was an innocent victim.

I believe that most "social workers" have their own personal issues that they have overcome or are trying to overcome.

They make these experiences their life's work. They are so enmeshed in the culture of dysfunctionalism that they know little else to do.

Like former drug addicts becoming drug counselors.

When the government sends social workers to investigate our wrong-think, they WILL be armed.
