The father of a Las Vegas teen who was 'beaten to death' by a gang of bullies has heartbreakingly revealed he 'can't watch' the viral video of the brutal attack.
Jonathan Lewis Sr said his son, Jonathan Lewis Jr, died on November 2 - the day after he was beaten by a mob of bullies in broad daylight in a sickening episode caught on camera by a stunned onlooker.
While the footage has been seen by millions in the days since, Jonathan's father told the Review Journal: 'I can’t watch the video of my son beaten to death, no.'

Why would they face charges? They are a protected class afterall.
My heart goes out to this father, he obviously raised his son well. I could not watch this video either if I were him.

Unexpected or accidental death of a family is difficult enough, but a brave child being subjected to such an end is unimaginable.
I pray God gives him the wherewithal to endure.

Regardless if murder charges are brought, parents should pull their kids from that high school.

Unless we all want to live in a society that has no rules at all, every one of the perps should be prosecuted for murder in the first degree...whether they're 13 or 33, black or white, male or 'other.'
And every public official who declines to prosecute them should themselves be prosecuted for criminal dereliction of duty.

I agree ## 1 and 3. And 2, 4, and 5 as well. Barbarism brought to you by the Dims.

The left feels no sanctity for life. If they are willing to dismember viable babies for convenience then I doubt they are going to feel any compassion for this brave young man. He laid his life down for his friend not knowing at the time that his one act of courage would cost him his life. God bless him and since God tells us that vengeance is mine, I hope He exacts justice for this young man. My heart goes out to this family because they will never be the same again especially knowing their loved one suffered at the hands of these feral animals. The complete silence of the media on this is disgusting but not surprising. We know if the roles were reversed, there would already be marches, protests, t-shirts and posters printed, and lawyers hired. I doubt you will see any of this from the victim’s family, but I hope there is some way that they are able to get justice for their son. These thugs should pay a high price for beating this young man to death. Their parents will spit shine them up and portray them as upstanding young men who are worthy of mercy. Personally, I am not in favor of mercy when these brutal beat downs occur. This is the worst kind of violence. When you have 15 against 1, I just can’t dredge up one iota of sympathy. They killed, on purpose, without regard to the fact he was alone fighting them off when he was on the ground getting kicked and punched until they beat him so badly his body just could not recover. This is animalistic behavior unfit for society. I hope that Las Vegas demands justice for Jonathan Lewis, Jr. and the entire city will not be silenced by the appeasers who will come to the defense of these murderers. Make them pay for what they have done. No quarter given. None.

Wasn’t it Las Vegas where those 2 ferals were running people over in a stolen vehicle? We know they’ll prosecute if enough fuss is raised. Keep the heat on this and hopefully some effort will be put into finding and prosecuting the offenders.

They all need to be charged as adults with first degree murder.

When ripping babies apart, limb from limb, is ok—even in “moderation”—where do you think society will go with regard to who lives and who dies? I hope this father does not stand alone in the community now, and that he has a strong support system that will carry him forward to finding justice.

How would this story be told if the persons were reversed and it was a black teen who was beaten to death by a group of 15 white individuals?
I'm sure it would be 24/7 coverage.

#11 is correct. Any society that endorses the murder of children is doomed and deserves it. Maybe the anti-abortion politician loses votes from the feckless, lazy, irresponsible women who don’t want any consequences for their acts but it’s still the murder of a child. No way around it. The screaming abortionists don’t want to hear that. It’s why they violently attack and vandalize the anti-abortion counseling sites. Right is right and abortion is still murder.

If LV law enforcement refuses to follow this through and do their job, they should be fired and prosecuted and then sued by the father.

Just as my gut told me when I first heard of this..... a gang of black thugs attacking one white kid.
If the races were reversed, it would be the #1 headline on all the Lamestreams, ABC/NBC/CBS/NPR/MSNBC/CNN etc.
But because it's 10 blacks beating up one white kid, the coverage has to come from an overseas news outlet.

Hire investigators to review the video and identify some or all of the thugs.
Give the information to the police and put their names up on social media/billboards.
Demand that the school expel them.
Sue their parents.

I'm saddened for the youth that look like me that live in predominately democrat ran cities. You have Black teens running around like savages in our third largest city. You have Black teens punching people from the back. You have even younger Blacks assaulting and shooting elementary school teachers causing life threatening injuries. You have Black teenage girls beating an old woman unconscious to take her purse. Now you have 15 future doctors, lawyers and scientists beating another teen to death. My heart goes out to the family of Jonathan Lewis who only tried to do the right in the face of bullying. In a just world 15 nooses would be waiting for the perps. Thankfully (for them and other criminals it seems) we live in a society with rules and laws. Still enough is beyond enough. The 15 perps need to be removed from said society because they have committed the ultimate crime and deserve the ultimate punishment.
