Teen age boys do not yet have fully developed frontal lopes. They can behave irrationally. They say things that should not be said. They do things that cannot be undone. The adults in charge of the school football program need to take charge of their teen age boys. All of them! It is difficult for me to believe that other team members were not complicit in this situation by their silence and their failure to not seek immediate help from the in charge adults.
Shut down the entire football program at this school for a year. This will speak volumes to the students at this school and other schools that thug behavior is not tolerated EVER in any situation.

I believe this type of attack is called “lynching”. A mob of 3 or more attacking and injuring a single person. Hate crime, victim is white, attackers were black. Kidnapping, the attackers did not allow the victim to leave. Assault and battery of high and aggravated nature, attacks were continued after victim was in a vulnerable state.
Victim’s football career is over for the year. How will the school and coaches allow the attackers to continue their football career this year? Three attackers should be dismissed from the team for the season, those in the room filming and watching in the room and refused to step in to stop the attack should have a minimum of a three game suspension to include practices and team meetings.
But who am I kidding, the coach and school board will do absolutely nothing to the attackers. Rumor is the coach is going to give each of the three a one game suspension, likely against some team that they’d beat by 70 anyway.

Right On!
Will, making this all about him.
Hey Will, are you all about second chances for these guys like you are with Larry The Murderer?

I totally agree, forfeit every game for the season and maybe all athletic departments will get the message !
It is totally fine for you, Will, not to get the book thrown at you. But you don’t want these kids to get any mercy. That is your point?
Mercy, like they showed the kid who took the beating?
Mercy? How about Justice? You are the reason incidents like this happen “Joshua Kendrick”. Hope you get the same Justice you ask for others.
No, mercy like Will has gotten in his life when he was younger. That is what I meant.
