Black Youths Involved in Brutal Beating of White Teen; Cops Mull “Lynching” Charges (Video)

This was such a senseless beating.
A group of black youths lynched a white teenager as he was jogging through a parking lot just after midnight on Monday night. The youths were charged with strong arm robbery, second degree assault and battery by a mob.

They took the victim’s phone and beat him bloody. The victim already has had two surgeries on his brain since the beating.

WISTV reported:

All eight suspects are in custody after a brutal attack in Five Points early Monday morning which left the teenage victim in critical condition, according to Columbia police.

Columbia Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Timmons said 19-year-old Thyeem Henrey was charged with second degree assault and battery by mob, common law robbery, and criminal conspiracy. He appeared in court Friday afternoon where the judge set bond at $750,000. That bond does not allow Henrey’s release upon posting only 10%, which is sometimes permitted by the court.

At his first court appearance on the latest charges against him, Henrey gave no indication what might have led to Monday morning’s savage assault. But he cried as the frustrations of the victim’s parents boiled over. “I’m having to give you my right to judge whether he deserves freedom or not,” said Strange’s mother Vicki. “That’s hard for me. But since Carter didn’t fight against them eight Sunday, I’m going to fight for him now. I’m going to fight for him until my last breath.”

“I pray that you get your life right,” said Strange’s father John. “Find God. If you pray for forgiveness, he will forgive you. I don’t have that in my heart right now. Maybe one day, but not today.

The 19-year-old is the only adult in a group of eight being held by Columbia police. The other seven suspects are all juveniles, according to Timmons. Their names cannot be released.

She said a 14-year-old, 15-year-old, and 16-year-old were charged with strong arm robbery, second degree assault and battery by a mob, and criminal conspiracy.

A 13-year-old and three other 16-year-olds were all charged with criminal conspiracy, according to Timmons.

Similar hearings will be held for the juvenile suspects. One of the 16-year-olds also had a bond hearing Friday afternoon, but reporters were not allowed inside.

Timmons said most of the suspects turned themselves in with their parents after the surveillance footage was shown on the news.

Police Chief Randy Scott said the 18-year-old victim, later identified as Carter Strange, was jogging through a parking lot near the intersection of Blossom Street and Saluda Avenue just after midnight on Monday when the assault happened. “This teenager was minding his own business, trying to make his curfew when he was brutally attacked and robbed,” said Scott.

Police said Henrey and the seven juveniles he was with were roaming Five Points, targeting others until they came across strange. In fact, investigators said the group tried unsuccessfully to rob or assault at least four other people.

They’ve been dealing with a flood of angry reactions from the public. “I’ve been on the phone all day fielding calls from the community about increasing patrols in Five Points, and what I have to explain is I’m responsible for Columbia, not just Five Points, not just the Vista,” said Chief Randy Scott.

Vicki said her son was headed home after visiting a friend slightly past his midnight curfew. “At 12:07 he wasn’t home, I called him and said ‘Carter where are you?’” recounted Vicki. “He said ‘Momma, I’m almost home. I’ll be there in just a minute.’ At 12:15 I called, but the phone was dead.”

Timmons said surveillance video taken in the area shows four of the suspects running towards Carter, though police only released video of the suspects walking on Harden Street. Investigators believe the suspects assaulted Carter and stole his cell phone before leaving him in the parking lot.

After the assault, Scott said Carter managed to make it a block down the road to Edisto Avenue, where a passerby found him two hours later and called 9-1-1. Carter was taken to a local hospital, where he is still in critical condition.

Vicki said she rushed to the hospital and found a son she could barely recognize. “I literally bent over him; I recognized his hand and his hair, and I said ‘that’s my son,’” Vicki told WIS News 10.

Carter’s family told police the beating was so severe he required emergency surgery to remove a brain clot.

Bunch of friggin’ animals. The “authorities” will wait until the press dies down a little and let it slowly fade away. After all, who can fault these poor, oppressed “youths” for acting out? After all the years of injustice perpetrated on them by “whitey?” Incidents like this are happening more and more across our formerly great land. The black race baiters and poverty pimps are deafeningly silent. Imagine if it had been white kids attacking a black kid?

WhiteGuilt commented:

I am ashamed to say it, but nothing will happen. The kid attacked was white – the victims were black. When the white kid gets out of the hospital he’ll probably have to defend himself in court against accusations of making himself a target. The helpless victims (the black kids) couldn’t defend themselves from such an opportunity.

SO what’s with a curfew that doesn’t notice a large cruising group of the very youth the curfew is supposed to keep off the streetss? The victim is 18, all but one of the suspects is underage and SUPPOSED to have been INSIDE.

I’d like to know how many families of the attackers are on some form of welfare? How many of them have only one parent at home? How do these kids perform at school? What’s their reading level? People of any color don’t just turn out bad one day and beat someone like that. This has been many years in the making. Lets get some answers here, before we come to judgment, but this sure looks from afar like yet another case of Democratic social justice gone awry.

They will never get it. The people in the inner city American ghettos are being spent by the Democratic party’s social justice programs that simply feed the cycle of ignorance and poverty. The poor people they are helping along never develop the values of successful people, they are simply given crumbs and kept down by the party that is marketing how compassionate they are. These poor black kids are effectively being marched into oblivion by the Democrats – but hey – as long as they have “pride” and they vote Democratic – the party keeps looking the other way.

They should all be tried for felonious assault and when the juvenile perps reach 18, they should be transferred to adult prison. The press will make them out to be victims and they will get a slap on the hand. Their parents should also be charged.

I would be very surprised if the perpetrators don’t have felonies filed against them. REALLY surprised . . . . but if they only get a slap on the hand, if I was the parent of the child, I would sue each family. They would never have one more asset in their miserable lives. Then I would sue the children when they became adults and they would never have a thin dime to their names for the rest of their lives. The victim will never be same again. He may never function at 100% again.

These types of assaults happen all the time in the inner cities and are moving to the suburbs thanks to diversity pimps. Several years ago I was in Cincinati and observed a lot of these mixed income developments and you could feel the tention and resentment in the air. I was called “Cracker” and actually had one of these thug brotha’s threaten to kick my a$$ if I didn’t get out of his parking place on a public lot, of course I just laughed at the punk and carried on. Also a couple of days later I was robbed at gunpoint by two of these opressed boons. If I remember correctly Ohio didn’t have chl laws and I could’nt carry mine there. No reciprical agreement between Texas and Ohio.

Actually, this is not just the “…past four years…”, it’s been true for a long time, just nobody wants to talk about it; according to FBI stats, roughly 90% of interracial violence is black perp – white victim. Another thing nobody wants to talk about is how law abiding blacks suffer even more from violence from their own. Was not always this bad, it’s a symptom of, IMHO, decades of “liberal” policies that have destroyed the black family and community.

In the mentally disordered world of the liberal, he was at fault for being out after midnight. That’s an hour when only the midnight-basketball crowd should be out and about.

Let’s have that honest conversation about race, and let’s not leave out all the data about black criminality and social pathology, which is off the charts and has been off the charts for 40 years.

eventually white people will wake up and realize that when you are absolutely honest with yourself, and you look around and see where the crime is highest, schools are worst, there is always that one present common denominator. don’t be guilted into thinking these problems are caused by you. the liberal whites and blacks have been running most major cities for the past forty years, look at those places where blacks have been in charge of anything, schools, govt’ etc. name one that is a success story and now we have a president that wants to bring chicago values nationwide.

Radegunda commented:

Kato #34, you’re correct: a truly honest conversation about race would not have the result that Holder imagines.
An honest conversation about race in America would acknowledge that most white Americans are not only willing to accept black Americans on their individual merits, but to judge them a little more generously (to the point of condescension — as witness the fawning over Obama), and often to give them advantages.

An honest conversation about race in America would acknowledge that any remaining tension between blacks and whites is primarily caused by the stubborn nursing of black grievances, the clinging to victimhood, the sense of being owed payback for something that was done to others generations ago, and perhaps most of all the disproportionate levels of violence and criminality that require sensible white people to be wary of black intentions.

In other words, in 2011, the responsibility for improving race relations in America lies primarily with black Americans — and Latino Americans too. White Americans have done more than their share, yet they’re still accused of being congenitally racist, which is a massive lie.

It can’t be due to a culture of music that glorifies violence like this or because Democrats have been telling this subset of the population that NOTHING is their responsibility.
