The Las Vegas Police Department has launched an investigation into the tragic death of 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis, who was savagely beaten by a mob of teens right outside Sin City’s Rancho High School earlier this month.
Some of the attack was captured on video, showing several black teenagers kicking and stomping Lewis, and punching and chasing his friend.
According to Lewis’ father, Jonathan was standing up for his smaller friend who had something stolen by the group of black teens when they decided to beat up both of the white teens.
“One of [Jonathan’s] smaller friends had something stolen by this group of 15 and they threw the small boy in the trash can and our son confronted them and he was attacked by them,” Lewis’ memorial stated.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal interviewed the father, who said, “A couple [of people] attacked him, and they weren’t able to hurt him enough, and they all attacked him at once.”
The father’s last text message to Jonathan read, “Love you son.”
The family set up a GoFundMe page, stating, “Our son is a kind, loving, gentle young man who has the heart of a champion and the brightest loving energy that attracts people to him with love! He’s an aspiring artist, devoted big brother, and a fierce protector of loved ones!”
The Las Vegas Police Department’s homicide unit is investigating the attack, but no arrests have been made.
Breanna Morello, host of The Breanna Morello Show, claimed on X she asked the DOJ’s Civil Rights department if they’d be launching a hate crime investigation into the incident.
“We are declining comment,” the DOJ answered.
Internet users decried the attack and repeatedly pointed out the media’s hypocrisy regarding the story receiving little attention while it would have been a top news item if the races were reversed.
RIP Jonathan Lewis.
Guess why this story has not made national news.
If you believe that if this was 15 white students murdering a 15-year-old black kid it would not have made national news you are lying to yourself.
White people, you are in danger. https://t.co/kw50UzWdj6
