No you have not heard of him because no gun was involved and he was white but truly a sad story. Who is Jonathan Lewis? Las Vegas teen dies after school attack
It's been all over my X feed. I was actually wondering if I'd have heard about it if the victim had been Black.
I wasn't sure how to post this, I didn't really want to make it an issue but considering how quickly school shootings and the likes make it to too hot, I had been wondering when this would become an issue. If my title is too one sided I'll change it, it was meant to make a point but not to bring an argument.
If you have 15 people involved, that makes it more difficult to charge someone with murder. Who actually killed him?
You sure wouldn’t have. Very sad story nonetheless, RIP to the victim. I hope the violent miscreants involved are properly punished.
I was thinking....didnt this guy already die but then realized it was about the much less famous Lewis
Again, Johnathan Lewis didn't die until today. How quickly after a victim dies do you expect police to charge the correct suspects with murder in a mob-based attack?
They have the video. Hopefully they can identify any and all of the students who hit him repeatedly as he lay on the ground. Heart breaking day for his family.
I’d wonder if they’d even need to determine who struck the fatal blow? With a bank robbery, they can charge all the co-conspirators with murder. That might be a reach in a typical fight. But not THAT much of a reach given the specific circumstances here, more of a beating than a fight.
Wow I guess we all see who you really are. A young man dies from being beaten by a mob and you can’t even give a second thought but to change the subject to earn brownie points for your team.
Deleted it. I accidentally posted it in the wrong thread and moved it where I should have posted it (the one on the January 6th insurrection).
I was fixin to say, that couldn't have possibly been posted here intentionally. Knew it was an accident.......I do wonder if Coop's fistbump was accidental though.
Every person who participated in the beating is a principal. Charge them all. 2022 Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 195 - Parties to Crimes NRS 195.020 - Principals. Universal Citation: NV Rev Stat § 195.020 (2022) Every person concerned in the commission of a felony, gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor, whether the person directly commits the act constituting the offense, or aids or abets in its commission, and whether present or absent; and every person who, directly or indirectly, counsels, encourages, hires, commands, induces or otherwise procures another to commit a felony, gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor is a principal, and shall be proceeded against and punished as such. The fact that the person aided, abetted, counseled, encouraged, hired, commanded, induced or procured, could not or did not entertain a criminal intent shall not be a defense to any person aiding, abetting, counseling, encouraging, hiring, commanding, inducing or procuring him or her. [1911 C&P § 9; RL § 6274; NCL § 9958]
Based on the OP's posting history, I KNEW there was going to more to this, likely based on the race of someone involved. I was correct.
