Viral Video // Seven Teenagers Jump One Kid

I'm sure a number of you have seen and/or heard about this video, that has gone viral recently, about seven teenagers beating the ever-loving shit out of another teenager. They stomp on him, punch him in the face, and shove him into brick walls. Then, when he falls, they stomp on him, kick him in the head, kick him in his mid-section, and many other forms of assault and battery all at the same time and without remorse. If you haven't seen this video, you can watch it here. Please keep in mind that this video is extremely violent, and can be a little disturbing. You'll be watching one kid desperately trying to protect himself, and get away from the severe ass-beating he's being issued.

This entire situation makes my blood boil. It is being reported that this incident took place over a scuffle that occurred between the victim and some of the perpetrators; an incident that took place BACK IN OCTOBER! There is one girl in the video, whom police say lured the victim into a back alley, where the attack took place. If you haven't seen the video, the perpetrators have him cornered, and there is literally nowhere for him to go. After two to three minutes of being beaten senseless, the perpetrators stop for some reason, possibly to catch their breath. During this brief period, the victim tries to talk/reason with the perpetrators, but to no avail. They start to resume the attack, and that's when the victim sees an opportunity, and he makes a run for it. Thankfully, even after being beaten almost to the point of no return, he is strong enough to break into a full sprint, and fast enough to outrun everyone by a landslide to safety, but not before his shoes, wallet, and $180.00 in cash were stolen from him. He also suffered a laceration to his lip, and dozens of bruises and abrasions.

The main name that's being attached to the attack belongs to one of the perpetrators. His name is Raymond Palomino. Raymond's father, Michael Palomino, is a 30-year veteran of the police force. He chose not to "protect family", but to do the right thing. In this case, the right thing was to turn his son in to the authorities. Raymond was charged as an adult with one count of robbery, and one count of aggravated battery. His bail was set at $100,000. Since neither Raymond himself, or his father can either afford the bond note for his release from jail, he will remain there until his court date. I try not to wish harmful things upon other people, but I am GLAD this piece of shit is in jail. I wish all other six perpetrators were charged as adults, but unfortunately the others received the same charges as Raymond, only as juveniles rather than adults. Hopefully some time in jail will make Raymond Palomino realize how cowardly his actions were, and manage to pull his head out of his ass.

There is just no reason at all for seven people to attack one kid. They went above and beyond the point of just getting their message across. The kid endured several minutes of what seemed like an endless ass-whipping. The victim was in the fetal position on the ground, trying to cover his head and his mid-section at the same time while he was being kicked and stomped on at the same time. I know that if I was the victim, I would have been throwing punches at each and every one of them until I was knocked unconscious, or the attack ended. However, that's the problem. Not everyone can or would approach the situation like I would. The victim in this case is far smaller than I am, and he probably didn't feel like he could defend himself. All I can say is that I hope the justice system actually comes through this time. This is receiving insane amounts of national media attention, so I hope our judicial system comes through, and sends a message to any other punk kids out there who want to pull a stunt like this one. Let's hope that Raymond and his worthless friends receive a just punishment, and as I said before, make a solid attempt at dragging their heads out of their asses.
