Looks like he swung just behind (in between the car and the wall) the guy that he eventually handed it to.
I've become pretty desensitized to violent videos and I thought I'd seen it all. That was hard to watch. Listening to the audio alone was heart wrenching.
dude...RIP honor roll kid. really really really sad. hope they find the a-holes who did this and they get tried as adult getting the maximum penalty for murder
Three charged with murder in beating death of Chicago teen CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Three teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 16-year-old boy whose beating was captured on amateur video. One of the three is a minor, but all will be charged as adults, prosecutors in Cook County, Illinois said Monday. They are charged in the death of Derrion Albert, an honors student who was beaten to death last Thursday. An amateur videotape of the beating has been broadcast nationally. It's unclear who shot the footage, but a local television station that received the tape turned it over to police.
The kids responsible for this should be forced to be near the victim's mother at the funeral so they can witness first-hand the havoc they've wreaked on another person's life. This is the type of senseless behavior that makes me think people are worse animals.
Just barbaric, scary, and a sad indictment of the path humanity seems to be taking. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say that I'm worried about the world we're leaving for our children.
Violence is not the answer to our problems. How upsetting that the poor kid was trying to excel and he paid his life for it!
I didn't even know there was audio to the clip. That must be awful. I wonder will any of the kids involved will have learned something from this?
To the judge they probably will say it was a mistake and they feel bad, but we all know they only feel bad because they were caught.
I am more hopeful for those involved that didn't directly kill him. There were a ton of kids there that won't be charged with murder. I fear that more are likely to get the message of being like the victim will get you killed, rather then you will end up wasting your life in jail if you don't change your life.
I get what you're saying, but sadly I doubt a message will be sent to those folks. In the article they said it was gang violence. Basically two neighborhoods feuding. This probably isn't the first time someone has gotten killed because of it. Usually instead of being smart and saying I'm going to quit this petty stuff those type of people just think they are untouchable
