WTF is going on? This is not a "fight" between kids. This was Step 2 in how to do a lynching, for kids. Fuck the cops who're helping breed the next generation of GOP fucktards. If I had a baseball bat, I'd be swinging it hard and wide. Better yet, rock salt from a 12 guage. Show Bondi this video.

Local news: If you watch it through, it sounds like the police are referring to this as a “fight.” This wasn’t a fight. It was a race-based attack. On August 16, 2025, a 14 YO Black teen from Platteville, Wisconsin, was attacked by white teens at a party in the town of Pulaski, Iowa County. 3/4

Video shows white teens punching him while yelling racial slurs like “F*** that n up” and “kill that n.”At one point, they shoved him against a meat grinder, then slammed him to the ground and kept beating him. This is not “kids being kids.” This is racial violence in 2025, in Wisconsin. 2/4

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

This is why I call COVID an airborne heart attack virus. After my 2nd COVID infection, I started having heart pain while pushing my toddler in their stroller. Before I turned 40. I’m an ER doctor. I know what “heart pain” sounds like. It was terrifying to experience it so young.
