  1. 33 events or what? Because we know GOD CREATED ONE RACE: mankind. Enough with the antichrist bull.

  2. He needs to be locked under prison and charged with a hate crime

  3. The kid is clearly a danger to society. He should be locked up.

  4. Someone needs to teach these hateful little sh!ts how it feels to fear for your life.

  5. Sound like a future CEO of a cobalt and lithium mine company in Africa.

  6. Charge them as adults. The fact that they lured him out there shows premeditation. They're budding psychopaths.

  7. They all need to be charged as adults and need mental illness help. To be called a dead man while seeing one hold some one who can’t swim underneath pond water against his will with him saying “I CAN’T BREATHE” once quoted by deceased George Floyd, need to be charged. Laughing at a matter like this hateful shows future offenders of such hateful crime.
    Thank God the little Boy is still with us still able to grow and produce more Kings 🫶🏽👑

  8. They're gonna do a prisoner swap..Hunter for Trump….

  9. No different when the black guy drowned in a pond in florida and other blacks just gathered around and filmed him drowning

  10. That’s called attempted murder. These people grow up and terrorize us, they become cops or your manager at work and everyone defends their racism.

  11. Acting stupid get stupid prizes

  12. Candace Owens told me racist don't exist…

  13. But his friends how’s that

  14. Gotta wonder about the parents. Hate is learned at home.

  15. So sad how terrible this 🌎 has gotten. 🥺

  16. 14 yo possibly future serial killer

  17. Probably never happened. Just like Jussie Smollett. Great story for the campfire at 4-H club.

  18. They were his “friends”?

  19. Sick mofo exucution is his solution

  20. If the victim were Asian he would have federal anti Asian hate bill legislation to protect him and future generations. Biden's failed the black community and feels entitled to your vote. True plantation mentality.

  21. I’m in disbelief 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

  22. It's disgusting what's happening to America

  23. The tables are going to turn for this punk in a BIG way! 🍆🍆🍆

  24. This is horrifying. How is this still happening in 2023? 💔💔💔

  25. If these allegations were true there would be video all over social media .

  26. Yeah but when blakies shoot errbody else it ain't even. Yamsain? On mama's mayne.

  27. "George Floyd" lol ! What a great new slang for Riggers.

  28. It’s hard to wrap my head around how a 14 yr old can be so angry. Life hasn’t even kicked the 💩out of em yet.

  29. Yep it's good to have one more off the street. Amen 🙌

    Thank you, "Lester Holt." 🌹

  30. I have yet to hear how old the victim is. Most reports have described him as a 'black boy'… this reports him as a 'Black teen'. I wonder why leave this out. Was he older than the 14 yo?

  31. This is terrible. We all have the color of skin because that’s the way God created us. But to make racial slurs and try to drown someone because he is black is totally wrong. They better get their acts together and need to apologize to him and let the court decide what to do. I hope they give them a punishment that they will wish they never did this! We need to Love one another as Christ loves us. Get rid of this HATE. My prayers for this young man that they tortured. May the Good Lord draw him close to Him and shelter him with his wings so He knows that not only Jesus Loves him but others do also. This is rude, disrespectful behavior. Parents get involved with your kids. Know what they are up to. I hope God brings them to their knees in humility and they find Christ as their savior also.

  32. Hahahah. Why go swimming when you can’t swim? Also lol stereotypes

  33. OK when one white kid does something and he’s a teen we can say it but when every shooting out there that is done by young black upstanding member of the community we can’t even get a suspect description anymore

  34. why would anyone who couldnt swim get into the water? and if he did have a life vest on why was he in trouble? the facts dont match..just sayig

  35. Omg, he must have been terrified!!! How horrible. Where are these kids parents? Who are they?

  36. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

  37. White supremacy is the greatest threat to USA democracy per the FBI and Homeland Security🫶🏽🖤1

  38. Time to bring back spanking children..we tried it your way with time outs and corners n stuff..massive fail…these lil B's need the BELT

  39. How is it Hard to Believe when they are telling you it happened…

  40. Charge him as an adult. What a punk

  41. … Son I am heartbroken you had to experience such an event. My thoughts are with you and hope that you can move beyond this experience someday 💗..
