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.

If it was ever anythng better, it’s clear that BLM is a domestic, racist, terrorist group with Marxist overtones.

You know, if the BLM was a legitimate movement with a legitimate cause, other blacks would be horrified and outraged by this. The fact the ‘leaders’ are not expressing such outrage is what is now setting race relations back decades….. since the ‘leaders’ are not saying anything about this, people have no choice but to believe that this is ‘normal behaviour’ and as such, it is to be avoided at all costs. This naturally leads to complete distrust along racial lines, outright avoidance, separation by neighbourhoods etc etc etc.

This is the case I remembered when the enemedia was shreiking about a retweeted video last week.

My contempt for them grows with each one of these stunts.

" "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."

Mmmmm, it's about blacks vs. white. Didn't you get the 'Black Lives Matter' meme as they beat you senselessly before your girlfriend.

Can't fight if you don't recognize the facts.

The virtual of white male masculinity is strained in this one.

Just wait until the school across the nation open up. The feckless liberal administrations will remove law enforcement and it will be open season on white kids. Parents be prepared you will also be battling with these yoots parents
