CHICAGO — Cell phone footage showing a group of teens viciously kicking and striking a 16-year-old honors student with splintered railroad ties has ramped up pressure on Chicago officials to address chronic violence that has led to dozens of deaths of city teens each year.
The graphic video of the afternoon melee emerged on local news stations over the weekend, showing the fatal beating of Derrion Albert, a sophomore honor roll student at Christian Fenger Academy High School. His death was the latest addition to a rising toll: More than 30 students were killed last school year, and the city could exceed that number this year.
Prosecutors charged four teenagers Monday with fatally beating Albert, who was walking to a bus stop when he got caught up in the mob street fighting, authorities said.

Where’s their “because of 0bama, yes we can” statements?
I believe he was knocked down or swarmed.
After David was murdered, the black teenagers stole his cellular phone, wallet and vehicle. They then proceeded to dump his body, and drove away.

That pretty much sums up “justice” in this country today.
Sadly, no sarc tag.
And they expect honest people to walk unarmed amongst these mosters, who prey in packs?????
Pure Idiocy to live in Chicago or any place where you cannot defend yourself with a firearm.
Yeah, he was protecting himself from the honor roll kid.
You can’t run away from a mob.
Stonewall Riots.
Every G-8, G20 Summit
So...THIS is what it takes to "ramp up pressure" on these thugs?
I would imagine if it was one of the Chicago officials kids this would have been addressed logn ago. But then again, this is Chicago, the next Detroit.
Jay-Quel Merkerson and Bryce Newton, both 16, were hit with various counts after both were spotted in David Kao’s stolen Lexis SUV after he was slain, prosecutors said.

Funny thing is the perpetrators race is obsessively hidden by the media but the goof ball names are a giveaway
Sometimes perps photos are published to establish race and degenerate appearance (all races) but the words black or afro-American are never printed
You couldn't pay me to live in that corrupt toilet of a town because no one is allowed to have a pistol or a CCW permit.
David was believed to be sleeping in his car before he was murdered, and two of the suspects were known to target Asian people during their past attacks.
I suppose that "hate crime laws" only apply if the suspect is a white male, right?
Such idiocy.
Prayers for David's family and his friends.
I understand your opinion. However, I think your comments are a little extreme.
These guys represent a proven clear and present danger to their community and society at large.
Also, Obama is selling Chi town as a safe and respectable place. Very bad timing for the perps.
Furthermore, they killed a Black kid. Not asian, Hispanic, or White.
No, you may be right, but I’m betting on hard time for all of them. Get these animals off the streets.
“My God, how do you recover hope for the rest of these kids who now rely on the government to support their lives?”
I’m involved in a Christian Prison Ministry called True North, in Northeastern Ohio. We provide worship services and Bible studies while the kids are incarcerated, and one-to-one mentoring when the kids get out. Many times, our mentors are the first positive role models these kids have.
These kids are being turned around through the power of Jesus Christ. When partnered with one of our Christian mentors, their recidivism rate drops dramatically, far more than secular counseling or meds alone.
They typically start with the dead eyes. Most don’t stay that way.
Obama and Eric Holder need to get after this kind of black on black crime. Not their current obsession with white racism in America
HOLDER is the biggest black fake out there because he is the child of Barbados immigrants. He has zero slave blood feels fit to address America’s historical racism. 0bama is just as phoney with his drive by impregnator daddy from Kenya who spent two years here
Nah...What Obambi did was to appoint the guy in charge of Chitown Schools and make him a CZAR for all edukashun for the whole country--Arne Duncan -- Peter Principle example Par Excelence??
Money from city, state or fed? No diference, it's all taxpayer money down the drain. They are going to need a bigger drain.
has ramped up pressure on Chicago officials to outlaw cell phones with cameras from schools.
Students threatened to riot if their cell phones were taken away.
Chicago officials threatened to riot if the students riot.
A student representative met with Chicago Aldermen but the meeting was canceled when Alderman Justus Octavious Caesar hit the student with a 2 by 4 because he was wearing red.
A melee sparked by an on-field incident during a football game had to be rescheduled due to rain.
