8 Teens Face Murder Charges After Fatal Beating of Las Vegas High Schooler

Eight suspects between the ages of 13 and 17 are in custody after the fatal beating of a student outside his Las Vegas high school earlier this month, local authorities said Tuesday. The teenagers will be charged with murder in connection with the death of Jonathan Lewis, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Lewis, 17, died on Nov. 7 of injuries sustained in a “physical altercation” with more than a dozen other individuals six days earlier, police previously said.

On Tuesday, a department spokesman said that 10 individuals were believed to be involved in the assault, with two suspects still unidentified and unaccounted for. The spokesman said that the fight between Lewis and the mob was over a pair of stolen wireless headphones and a vape pen.

The 17-year-old’s father told local station KLAS-TV that he hoped his son’s attackers could “find forgiveness in their heart and find a way to be able to come to terms with what they’ve done.”

Same thing happened to me as an 8th-grader during the racial strife of the '60's.

Fortunately, a man ran out of a house with a long gun and the gang scattered.

Pretty banged up but alive - left a mark on my psyche.

LVMPD Lt. Jason Johannson described the video as “void of humanity” and said there was no evidence the incident could be considered a hate crime.

Well, Mr. Johnson, I beg to differ. The video displays ample hate.

No one in their right mind stands around filming a lynching. but, then again we are dealng with sub humans.

not one single black kid tried to stop any of this.

they are no better than Palestinians,

they are proud of their deed and probably bragged about it to their friends and family. Who inturn probably encouraged more of this white hate.

I grew up in Brooklyn. Every neighborhood needs a godfather.

Yes. They are just as guilty.

Most if not, all we’re raised by their mothers.

If the white kid survived, the white kid would be placed under the jail.

But no, it’s not time for vigilantism.

“Most if not, all we’re raised by their mothers”

And they failed miserably. I suspect in most cases the fathers not being around was not necessarily a bad thing.

My only interaction with the police over the years is traffic tickets, an unjustified search in which they drew blood, and other hassles. I have never seen them patrol my neighborhood, where my main house is, or where my weekend getaway is. I have seen them frequently on TV standing around doing nothing while rioters burn police cars (NYC) or police stations (Seattle). I know part of it is due to orders from liberal mayors or DAs, but the only logical conclusion is that the police serve no purpose. None at all.

Words matter. SOCIAL JUSTICE, defund police, Black Lives Matter, reparations, white supremacy……. words used by the left to gain power and disrupt society. These black kids have been raised on hatred and violence, empowering them to loot and kill.

But, if the price of the ear phones divided by ten is less than $950 each, are they really still guilty?

“While I 100% would oppose this, I can see how we got to this point.”

Isn’t that what militias are for? To protect against the tyranny of government? Since government has fomented this hatred, as citizens we should have the right to have a well armed militia to fight against government tyranny.

Just sayin.

They could. I think history has proven what happens in a lawless society in other countries. I never thought it could happen here. Boy howdy if I was the parent of that child.

That’ll never happen. Cannot have a hate crime if the victim is white

It was a lynching.

A federal law was just passed to punish this behavior. Do it!

Just a thought, maybe all that rap “hate Whitie” stuff has poisoned the minds of black kids? Its a bit like the Hate Jews propaganda that infests the minds of young Palestinians today, and Germans a long time ago.Maaybe we must enforce order and not just recommend it?

I'm sure if a group of White kids had beaten up a lone Black kid to the point where they killed him, there would be "no evidence of a hate crime," right, Lt.?
