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.”

Slap on the wrist because they’re black. If the tables were reversed the white kid would be placed under the jail.
Time for vigilante justice in this country.
the person taking the video should also be charged for failure to render aid to a person in distress.
Nevada might be a bit tougher than California. 2nd degree...which I think will be the level given to the 8...means 25 years or more (with parole starting to be possible at the 10-year point).
I suspect all eight will be convicted as adults, and all eight will be out of prison by 12-year point.
You think hate crime will be added? I don’t either .
“Time for vigilante justice in this country.”
The authorities will call that “domestic terrorism”.
While I 100% would oppose this, I can see how we got to this point. If the police aren't going to enforce the law and if the courts don't sentence everybody evenly then it's not surprising people will reach your conclusion.
We need more law and order that is equally enforced across the board. The anti cop people both on the right (including a few here on the FR) are idiots.
That should read : The anti cop people on both the left and the right (including a few here on the FR) are idiots.
They had to be carefully taught to hate that way.
They ARE taught that....in school.
EC
You got a fight to start with the victim (guy who was robbed)...over a vape-pipe and headphones. It may be a case where the victim was slightly ahead in this fight, and the ‘gang’ jumped in to defend their friend (no one can say if this kid was the robber or not).
Getting some hate-crime out of a robbery? I just don’t saw how you could draw this up.
One odd aspect...if the video didn’t exist...none of this would be proven in some court. In this case, video is going to wrap up the case real quick. I doubt if the case goes more than four days, and 2nd degree murder conviction for all involved.
That should read; the anti-cop people on the left and right, including a few here on FR, are idiots.
It starts with thier parent.
School just amplifies it.
Then the “community” cultivates it.
It’s a failed culture.
“find forgiveness in their heart and find a way to be able to come to terms with what they’ve done.”
I am not understanding this statement made by the victim’s father. Is he hoping the perpetrators forgive themselves for murdering his son? Shouldn’t they be asking the father for forgiveness? Shouldn’t they be on their knees repenting? Should they ever “come to terms” by what they have done? One wonders if it even matters to them.
Does anyone have a link to the murderous crew’s photographs?
Here you go. This was caught at the scene. You can see they’re wearing hoodies and you can see their afros.

Also, who knows if he actually said this. Might be garbled slop from the reporter or editor.
“Time for vigilante justice in this country.”
I usually think of the Death Wish movie when this happens.
