Thugs rob teen of his iPhone, Nike sneakers; but boy's family finds 1 suspect — and delivers painful payback: Cops



A 14-year-old boy was walking near a bus stop in Chicago one afternoon last month when four males approached him, CWB Chicago reported, citing authorities.

One of the males asked for his sweater, authorities said, according to the outlet. But when the boy ignored them and kept walking, the same male allegedly picked him up — after which the boy punched the male in defense, CWB Chicago reported, citing authorities.

The outlet said that about five minutes after the robbery, the boy and his mother went to the house where two of the suspects had been seen entering.

With that, a second male allegedly rifled through the boy’s pockets and stole his iPhone, Nike gym shoes, and hoodie, the outlet said, adding that the Chicago Police Department report said the items are worth between $1,200 and $1,450.

Authorities said the teen ran barefoot to his grandmother’s home nearby, and police were notified shortly afterward, the outlet said, citing the arrest report.

More from CWB Chicago:

Part of the attack was caught on video, prosecutors said in a detention proffer. Surveillance footage reportedly showed the boy fleeing the scene without his shoes and entering his grandmother’s house. It also captured two of the suspected offenders running into a building in the 3600 block of West Grenshaw Street, while the other two fled down an alley.

The victim told his mother he recognized one of the robbers by a tattoo above his left eyebrow and said he remembered seeing the man at a facility where his mother works. She identified that person as Dnario Brown, according to police.

The outlet said that about five minutes after the robbery, the boy and his mother went to the house where two of the suspects had been seen entering.

CWB Chicago reported that the teen got back his iPhone and hoodie at this location. The outlet, citing the detention proffer, added that Brown was “beaten up by members of [the boy’s] family" at this location as well.

Police from the city of Burbank — which is located near the southwest side of Chicago — responded to the scene and detained Brown until Chicago police arrived, the outlet noted, citing the arrest report.

Brown, 18, was charged with robbery in connection with the June 16 incident, CWB Chicago reported.

Judge Ankur Srivastava during a bond hearing ordered Brown held in custody pending trial, the outlet said. Brown had been arrested four prior times in connection with violent crimes and already was facing charges in an unrelated pending case at the time of the robbery, CWB Chicago reported, citing the judge’s detention order.

According to Cook County Jail information, Brown's next hearing is scheduled for Thursday, and no bond amount is listed.

Justice for elderly pro-lifer beaten to a pulp outside Planned Parenthood takes brutal turn



On May 26, 2023, pro-life advocates Mark Crosby, then 73 years old, and Dick Schaefer, then 84 years old, were praying, holding pro-life signs, and offering pro-life materials to people entering a Baltimore Planned Parenthood, Catholic Review said.

Outside the abortion facility, a male by the name of Patrick Brice reportedly was arguing with Schaefer about abortion.

'I was shocked.'

Brice — a decades-younger male whom Crosby estimates stands well over 6 feet tall and weighed 250 pounds — then is seen on surveillance video actually charging at Schaefer and tackling the 84-year-old backward into a large flower pot.

According to WBAL-TV, a witness said Schaefer was out cold "for several minutes."

As you might expect, Crosby — dressed in a blue and white "pro-life" T-shirt — comes over to help his friend.

But Brice is in Crosby's path.

And Brice easily knocks the 73-year-old down to the sidewalk.

One might be inclined to assume Brice by this point would make his exit — but alas, no. Instead he proceeds to pulverize his next victim.

First he punches Crosby in the head.

Then Brice rears back his right foot and kicks Crosby in the face before finally walking away.

It should be noted that YouTube age-restricted the Baltimore Police video of the attack on Schaefer and Crosby, so you can only view it there.

Here's a local video report, though.

Local pro-life advocate John Roswell told LifeSiteNews at the time of the attack that Crosby’s “plate bone in his upper right cheek is completely fractured” and that he “is bleeding from some unidentified area behind his eye, and the bone eye orbit is completely shattered and will have to be replaced with metal" as a result of the brutal beatdown.

Crosby told Blaze News that he was blind in his right eye "for nine days" after the attack, that he spent three days at the Maryland Shock Trauma Center, that he was "spitting blood," and that a piece of his iris is missing.

He also told Blaze News he still experiences foreign body sensation, which is a "feeling that something's in your eye and you can't get it out. But I can live with that. Babies are being murdered. I give it up for them."

A few weeks after the attack, police released surveillance images of the culprit. However, for the next year, nothing but crickets.

Brice arrested

Police finally arrested Brice on July 1, 2024, and he was indicted on charges of first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and assault on an elderly person 65 and over, according to the American Center for Law and Justice. He was released on his own recognizance, Catholic Review said.

The criminal trial for Brice took place in early February 2025 in Baltimore Circuit Court. The Baltimore Banner reported that Brice, 28, exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and did not testify.

But Brice's attorney — Assistant Public Defender Matthew Connell — argued that his client didn't intend to cause serious physical injury, which is needed to support a conviction for first-degree assault, the Banner said.

Connell also called Schaefer and Crosby “old white men” who say “the most vile things” to women and see themselves as “religious martyrs," Catholic Review reported.

“Somebody snapped on them,” Connell argued, according to the Banner.

The attacker's attorney added that his client “didn’t mean to hurt them that bad" and “made a mistake," the Banner reported.

Crosby told Blaze News that video of Brice's beatdown of him and Schaefer was shown in court and that one juror was "crying," while "others were looking away" from the violence onscreen.

Assistant State’s Attorney Ashley Sudberry in her opening remarks called Brice's attack “brazen, callous, barbaric behavior," Catholic Review said. She concluded that "Mr. Brice is a grown man. He’s not a child. He knew what he was doing," the Banner said.

Hung jury on most serious charge for attack on Crosby

The jury deliberated for about two hours and convicted Brice on two counts of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment for his attacks on Schaefer and Crosby, the Banner said.

However, jurors acquitted Brice on one count of first-degree assault against Schaefer, the paper said.

As for the first-degree assault charge against Brice for attacking Crosby — knocking him to the ground, punching him in his head, and kicking him in his face while he was on his back on the sidewalk — the Banner said the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

Crosby was then left waiting for justice.

Attorney Terrell Roberts — retained by the Thomas More Society to assist Crosby amid deliberations — told Blaze News that Brice's misdemeanor convictions for second-degree assault and reckless endangerment don't include jail time in sentencing guidelines. The Banner also reported that Brice had no previous criminal record.

Roberts told Blaze News that while Brice's attack on Crosby was a "pretty egregious act," there's a "good chance" a judge might not sentence Brice to any jail time.

But soon there was some good news for Crosby. The Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office in March said it would retry Brice on the first-degree assault charge, the Baltimore Banner reported.

Roberts told Blaze News that part of getting a first-degree assault conviction on Brice — which could result in a jail sentence of 25 years — would be showing how badly impaired Crosby's vision became after his attack. Roberts said the damage to Crosby's right eye — specifically the iris — is "permanent" and Crosby suffers from "extreme photosensitivity," meaning that he essentially has the use of only one eye, which is a "serious disability."

He also told Blaze News that the prosecution would be able to present other documentation, such as the CT scan of Crosby's head, which showed that the "floor of the orbital bone was fractured so badly" that fat actually was seeping through it.

"We have to win this," Crosby told Blaze News in the aftermath of the new trial announcement, adding that he believes Brice has "got to go to jail, or the pro-aborts will think they can get away with this."

New trial, old story

Circuit Judge Yvette M. Bryant — who presided over February's jury trial for Brice — also presided over Wednesday's retrial of Brice's first-degree assault charge, the Baltimore Banner reported.

At the conclusion of the bench trial — there was no jury this time — Bryant acquitted Brice of first-degree assault, the Banner said.

Her reason? The paper said the judge concluded that it was all about Crosby's intent. Does video of the attack show him rushing over to help his friend? Or does it show 73-year-old Crosby running over to fight Brice — a bigger, taller 20-something who just knocked Schaefer out cold?

The Banner said Bryant agreed that Brice's attack against Crosby was unjustified — but disagreed with the prosecution's contention that it was unprovoked.

Gavel down. Case closed. Brice is scheduled for an Aug. 7 sentencing, the paper said, adding that he’s free on his own recognizance. Roberts noted to Blaze News that Brice's acquittal means he can't be tried again on the same charge.

'This decision is one for the ages'

A flabbergasted Roberts in the aftermath of Bryant's decision told Blaze News that "this decision is one for the ages," adding that it was a "miscarriage of justice."

"I was shocked," he noted to Blaze News.

"The judge misapplied Maryland law," Roberts added to Blaze News. "She regarded Crosby's conduct as a provocation which lessened Brice's culpability. But it's clear from the evidence that Crosby's conduct was not a legal provocation. Crosby had a right to come and aid his friend, who had just been knocked unconscious. That cannot in any way legally be a provocation."

He added to Blaze News that it was the "most ridiculous decision I've seen in a long while."

"How can you claim a 73-year-old man provoked a man who just knocked out an 84-year-old man? It's legally absurd," Roberts remarked to Blaze News, adding that "any judge would have to find him guilty based on the video."

The Banner also reported that the judge read portions of Crosby's medical records in court, saying that he ignored directives from nurses and other hospital staff. In the end, Bryant deemed Crosby's testimony unreliable, the paper added.

Roberts told Blaze News he found it odd that Bryant focused so much of her attention on Crosby's interactions with nurses and hospital staff, as recorded in his medical records, instead of "what really mattered" in those records — namely, the severity of his injuries due to Brice's actions.

What's more, Crosby told Blaze News that Bryant stated in court that he could have "gone around Brice to help Dick Schaefer" rather than taking a path directly to his friend to give him aid. "So she's blaming me. ... I'm the bad guy."

A frustrated Crosby added to Blaze News that "now the pro-abort movement will know this, and violence will continue against us."

Pregnant woman allegedly struck in head several times, slammed into wall over seating — at kindergarten graduation: Cops



One would be inclined to consider a kindergarten graduation ceremony a joyful and fun occasion — the polar opposite of dangerous, in fact.

But in Philadelphia on Monday, one such ceremony at John Wister Elementary Mastery Charter School in the city's Germantown neighborhood was anything but.

'There was a carjacking in the neighborhood for which police were called separately.'

Police responded to the charter school after 10:15 a.m. over a disturbance involving seating arrangements between two parents, WPVI-TV reported.

Police told the station one of the parents allegedly struck the other parent — a 31-year-old pregnant woman — in the head several times and slammed her into a wall.

Witnesses told WPVI they saw the victim bleeding.

Medical personnel took the pregnant woman in an ambulance to a hospital where she was treated for her injuries, the station said, citing police.

Police said the attacker — a female wearing a gray hoodie and black pants — took off from the scene and hadn't been arrested, WPVI reported.

However, WTXF-TV reported that a letter from the principal was sent to the school community about "an altercation between two of our parents" that indicated police "arrived quickly to remove the parents from the scene. Contrary to online rumors, the only injuries were between the two parents involved, and no weapons were drawn or involved in the incident."

In addition, the letter added that "there was a carjacking in the neighborhood for which police were called separately. This incident did not involve anyone in the Wister community, and the suspect was apprehended."

Blaze News on Tuesday spoke to an employee of a business near the school who said the incident didn't faze him because such violence "happens quite a bit." The employee added to Blaze News that "there are some really rough areas in Germantown" and that the neighborhood his business shares with the school is "semi-rough but getting better" — however, it's "not somewhere I'd send my kids to school."

WPVI said Northwest Detectives are heading up an investigation into the matter and that those with information should contact them at 215-685-3353.

WPVI's video report Monday evening indicated that the school wouldn't make any other statements about the incident and that the victim — according to her family — was still hospitalized.

Police on Tuesday didn't immediately respond to Blaze News' inquiries regarding if the the female parent accused of carrying out the attack had been arrested or identified, if there was any word on the condition of the pregnant victim, or if there is video of the attack.

Florida man — 6'2'', 280 lbs — chokes cop after bailing on $50 pizza bill, police say. But fellow officer's fist intervenes.



Police in Orlando, Florida, said officers responded to a pizza restaurant after reports of disturbance around 10:45 p.m. Monday, WOFL-TV reported.

Employees of the Corner Pizza Bar on Magnolia Avenue said a customer refused to pay his $50.50 bill, the station noted.

'I was in fear that great bodily injury or death would occur.'

When the customer — later identified as Daniel Robinson, 22 — was asked to pay up, he allegedly shoved the female owner and departed the restaurant, WOFL noted.

Employees called 911, WFTV-TV reported, and investigators said a pair of Orlando police officers confronted Robinson across the street from the restaurant.

Robinson said he intended to pay his restaurant bill with his phone but that the device was dead, WFTV said, adding that police said his phone — on the contrary — was visibly lit.

As the officers attempted to arrest Robinson, one officer hollered, “He’s choking me," WFTV reported, adding that Robinson is about 6'2'' and weighs 280 pounds.

The other officer at the scene noted in a police report that “I was in fear that great bodily injury or death would occur," WFTV said.

With that, the fellow officer said he punched Robinson in the face until the choking stopped, WFTV said, adding that police also maced Robinson.

Police said when medical personnel arrived, Robinson spat in an officer’s face amid an attempt to restrain him on a stretcher, WOFL reported.

Orange County Corrections Department records indicate Robinson was booked into jail Tuesday. He's facing multiple charges, including attempted homicide of a law enforcement officer, WOFL said.

More from WFTV:

Court records show Robinson was also maced by officers last year after he allegedly stalked a woman. She said he started touching her on a bus as she went to work last November, then followed her off the bus. That’s when she called 911.

“I am upset and kind of in shock because that could have been me," last year's victim Mariah Gilbert told WFTV in an interview, adding that “now I have the opportunity to testify against him."

What's more, WFTV said records show Robinson last year also was arrested for battery upon a different woman and petit theft.

WOFL said the Corner Pizza Bar issued the following statement: "Fortunately, the Orlando Police Department responded quickly and handled the situation promptly and professionally. We’re very grateful for their support. While we’re still processing the impact — since we never imagined something like this happening — we’ve decided not to speak further on the matter at this time."

The Orange County Corrections Department on Friday told Blaze News that Robinson's bond total is $17,650 and that his first court appearance was Wednesday.

Florida drug traffickers reportedly tortured rival by pouring hot sauce into parts of his body



Lured by the prospect of receiving payment for an outstanding debt, a drug trafficking rival of Mario Espino came to Espino's Florida residence in October 2023, federal officials said.

But no payment was made, officials said.

Agents found the victim in the back seat with a pillowcase over his head and zip ties and electrical cords around his wrists, officials said.

Instead, the rival — who also worked with Espino previously — was subjected to 18 hours of torture and physical abuse, officials said.

According to court documents, Espino plotted with Jacob James Guest and Joey Lawrence Eugene Young to kidnap the victim, officials said, adding that the trio bound, beat, and tortured him.

As part of the victim's torture, Espino and Young resorted to “pouring hot sauce in [his] eyes and anus,” Assistant U.S. Attorney David P. Sullivan wrote in Espino’s sentencing memorandum, according to the New York Post.

Espino, Guest, and Young also demanded 10 kilograms of fentanyl as ransom from the trafficker’s cartel drug sources, officials said.

The Post, citing court records, added that Espino had been frustrated over being cut out of the victim's drug business.

On October 11, 2023, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Pasco Sheriff’s Office rescued the victim from a vehicle that Espino, Guest, and Young abandoned when law enforcement approached, officials said.

Agents found the victim in the back seat with a pillowcase over his head and zip ties and electrical cords around his wrists, officials said.

Espino, Guest, and Young also left behind 22 kilograms of methamphetamine, 100 grams of fentanyl, a firearm, and more than $10,000 in cash, officials said.

The United States Attorney's Office, Middle District of Florida, on Thursday announced that U.S. District Judge Mary S. Scriven sentenced Espino — now 25 years old — along with Guest and Young — now 24 and 25, respectively — to federal prison for drug trafficking, kidnapping, and possessing a firearm in furtherance of their drug trafficking crimes.

Espino received 22 years and 6 months behind bars while Guest got 20 years and Young got 25 years, officials said, adding that each of them previously pleaded guilty to the offenses.

In regard to what could happen next to the defendants, Amy H. Filjones — public affairs specialist for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Middle District of Florida — told Blaze News that the Sentencing Reform Act eliminated parole for federal crimes committed after November 1, 1987.

Tampa attorney Ron Frey added to Blaze News that "early release into a supervised release can be possible via various programs and through earned good time credit. However, this is all subject to eligibility and the specific characteristics of each particular defendant.”

Brutal bar brawl video: Males in biker gear beat up lone man who's called the N-word. Racism accusations, petition follow.



A brutal Indiana bar brawl over the weekend was caught on video — and racism is playing a central role amid the fallout.

The incident took place around 11 p.m. Friday at Pike's Pub in Fort Wayne. The Allen County Sheriff’s Department said its officers were dispatched there "to have an intoxicated subject removed from the bar."

'We want to fight back.'

The sheriff's department added that a fight started and ended inside the bar prior to officers arriving. The "victim of the fight" didn't want to provide information on the individuals who injured him, officials said, adding that the victim was "transported by ambulance to an area hospital in fair condition." Officers conducted a follow-up investigation on Saturday morning at the bar, the sheriff's department said, adding that "all information will be forwarded to the Criminal Investigations Division for further investigation."

A video of the fight shows numerous white males dressed in biker clothing surrounding a black man dressed in a yellow vest. The white males shove the black man and tell him more than once that he needs to pay his "f**kin' tab." Suddenly the white men begin punching the black man, and an all-out brawl ensues.

The black man fights back but is soon tackled to the floor. About six men dressed in biker gear join the beatdown; one appears to hit the victim with a chair, and one hollers "beat that f**kin' N***** up" as the the victim is kicked in the face. That's when the clip ends.

Blaze News on Monday reached out to the sheriff's office for updates on the case, and officials there said as of Monday no charges or arrests have been made, but "the investigation is ongoing."

When asked about the possibility of hate crime or bias charges, the sheriff's department added to Blaze News that "any and all possible charges will be considered before submission to the prosecutor’s office."

In addition, if there have been assumptions that the "intoxicated subject" referred to in the sheriff's news release was the fight victim, the sheriff's department told Blaze News that the intoxicated subject "did not have to do with the fight."

The sheriff's department added to Blaze News that only the Allen County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the case thus far.

The word "Outlaws," lettered in white, also appears on the attacking males' black clothing. WANE-TV reported that the Outlaws Motorcycle Club was linked to criminal activity in a 2013 federal case, in which a Fort Wayne Chapter member “engaged in extortion and the distribution of prescription drugs."

WANE said it went to Pike’s Pub and spoke with owner Kelley Rost, who was not at the bar Friday night — and the owner told the station the man refused to pay his bill and that "there are two sides to every story.”

As of 2:45 p.m. Saturday the bar removed their Facebook and Instagram pages, the station said, and the bar was closed Saturday while a sheriff's department vehicle was stationed in the parking lot. WANE added that it's unclear how long Pike's Pub will remain closed.

A pair of activists spoke to WANE as part of a follow-up story and are demanding justice for what they see as a racially motivated hate crime.

“All you have to do is listen for the hard R's in the background. All you have to do is listen to the chant of: beat him, beat him,” Roderick Parker told the station. “For me, it’s a hate crime."

Bri Andrews — who has organized a change.org petition with nearly 2,700 signatures as of Monday afternoon — told WANE, “When something like this happens, we are passionate people. We want to fight back. It’s really because we think justice won’t be served if we don’t do something right away.”

Parker added to WANE that "an ideal outcome for me after watching that video would be four to five arrests. A revocation of a liquor license, if not a closing down of a business.”

He also told the station that the “Outlaws are notoriously known across the country as a gang."

Andrews added to WANE, “If there is a pub that has alleged gang ties, why are we letting them get a pass?”

Andrews added to the station that she doesn't want "additional casualties" in the form of retaliation.

WANE also reported that a small group of people were seen Sunday protesting against Pike’s Pub from across the street.

“People have to see this. We have to push this out to the community, or it’s going to keep happening,” Reshon Coleman, one of the protesters, told the station. “Come forward if you’re an Outlaw or anything with a formal apology, anything. Pike’s, anything. ... We haven’t gotten anything.”

Coleman added to WANE, “At the end of the day, when you hurt one of us, you hurt all of us. This is for James, man.”

The station said it hasn't been able to confirm the name of the victim with authorities.

Male punches, kicks, stomps woman on street after midnight in unprovoked, reportedly racially charged attack: Police



Police in Portland, Oregon, said a male punched, kicked, and stomped on a woman on a street after midnight last month as part of an unprovoked, reportedly racially charged attack.

Police said the incident took place shortly around 12:10 a.m. April 24 near West Burnside and Northwest Broadway, and the bureau said it needs the public’s help in identifying the suspect.

'That’s really scary, especially for the ladies out here.'

Central Precinct officers responded to reports of a disturbance and found an adult female suffering from injuries to her head and leg, police said.

Before she was taken to a hospital for treatment, the woman told officers she was walking down the street when an unknown male approached her and assaulted her, police said.

After the male punched her, he kicked her and also stomped on her face while she was on the ground, police said.

What's more, police said the suspect reportedly uttered a racially charged comment during the unprovoked attack. KPTV-TV reported that the attack is being investigated as a bias crime.

Police said the suspect is described as a black male ranging in age between 30 and 40 years old and weighing about 200 pounds.

Conservative radio host Lars Larson — whose show on KXL-FM broadcasts from Portland — offered Blaze News a succinct perspective regarding the attack: "Downtown Portland is toxic and dangerous to all."

RELATED: Blaze News original: Remember when gaslighting elitists called Antifa a myth? Here's a reminder that Antifa is all too real.

  

Maye, a resident of Old Town, noted the following to KPTV in reference to the violent act: “That’s really scary, especially for the ladies out here. I don’t think we should be telling people to walk around with pepper spray and all of that stuff because no one should have to feel unsafe."

KPTV said it asked the Portland Police Bureau why it's looking for help from the public when the incident took place more than a month ago, and the station said a police spokesperson replied that after exhausting all efforts to locate the suspect, detectives opted to turn to the public in the hopes that someone can identify the suspect.

Portland Police Bureau's Major Crimes Unit is investigating this case, police said, adding that those with information are asked to contact crimetips@police.portlandoregon.gov and reference case number 25-105522.

A surveillance camera at St. André Bessette Catholic Church recorded the incident, KPTV noted.

Road-rage suspect uses hatchet to repeatedly smash windows of crashed car — and the act is ​caught on cellphone video



Cellphone video caught the moment when a road-rage suspect repeatedly smashed the windows of a crashed car in Boston — and the unhinged fellow carried out the act with a hatchet, of all things.

Police said the aggravated assault took place just after 11:40 p.m. Friday in the 1000 block of Commonwealth Avenue in the city's Brighton neighborhood.

The victim added that he felt disoriented after the crash but recalled that the suspect approached him and began smashing his vehicle windows with a hammer or axe.

Police said the suspect reportedly chased the victim in his vehicle at a high rate of speed, causing the victim to crash. Police said the suspect then exited a gray pickup truck, assaulted the victim, and used a hatchet to break the windows and windshield of the victim's vehicle after the victim fled.

Police said the suspect fled on Babcock Street in the direction of Brookline.

What else do we know?

According to WBTS-TV, a preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was driving a Toyota Prius south on Commonwealth at a high rate of speed, veered to the right, jumped the median separating the road from the bicycle lanes, and crashed into a tree on the sidewalk.

Police told the station the Prius sustained extensive damage and that the airbags had deployed.

The Prius driver told police that the pickup truck driver chased and forced him off the road, WBTS reported.

The victim added that he felt disoriented after the crash but recalled that the suspect approached him and began smashing his vehicle windows with a hammer or axe, the station said, adding that the suspect also swung the hatchet at him and chased him down the street for a short distance.

More from WTBS:

Witnesses told police they saw the suspect chasing the victim along the sidewalk armed with an axe. One witness showed police clear cellphone video showing the suspect smashing the victim's vehicle repeatedly with a small hatchet.

The victim suffered a hand injury in the crash and was treated at the scene but refused transport to a hospital.

Boston police on Sunday released photos of the alleged suspect and asked the public for help in identifying him, the station said.

Blaze News on Monday afternoon spoke to an employee of a business near the location of the incident, and the employee — who wished to remain anonymous — said things were back to normal, except for some pieces of broken glass on the ground and reporters and TV cameras roaming in the area.

Police said the suspect was described as a white male, approximately 25 years old, with a slight build, brown medium-length hair, and a short beard. The suspect was wearing a white T-shirt with a plain front and lettering on the back as well as blue jeans and brown sneakers, police said.

Police said they are actively reviewing the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident, and those with information are strongly urged to contact detectives at 617-343-4256.

Crazy video: Unhinged driver hits teen, crashes through Dollar Tree wall — with teen still on hood. The end is even wilder.



Cellphone video caught the moment when a motorist hit a teenager in the parking lot of a South Carolina Dollar Tree store on Mother's Day, then plowed through the store wall — with the teen still on the hood of the car.

Miraculously, the victim quickly emerged from the rubble and walked away, apparently as if the impact was nothing. You can view the cellphone video here.

'Youth these days ... don't value life.'

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said a fight involving two adults and three juveniles began in the parking lot of the Dollar Tree on Sumter Highway in Bishopville, WIS-TV reported. Bishopville is a little less than an hour northeast of Columbia.

Authorities said a 17-year-old hit a 15-year-old with a vehicle before crashing into the store, the station noted, adding that the driver reportedly rolled the car away from the store and crashed into an occupied vehicle in the parking lot.

WIS said the 15-year-old hit by the car was not seriously hurt.

Deputies said 19-year-old Celvin Hickman and 24-year-old Shamirah Blyther were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct in connection with the brawl, the station reported, adding that Hickman also was charged with malicious injury to property.

The three juveniles also were arrested, the sheriff’s office told WIS.

The 17-year-old accused of driving the car that crashed into the store was charged with attempted murder, disorderly conduct, and malicious injury to property, the station said, adding that authorities said the 17-year-old will be charged as an adult.

Another 15-year-old also was charged with disorderly conduct and released to guardians, WIS said.

Blaze News spoke with an employee of a business just down the street from where the calamity went down. The employee — who spoke to Blaze News on the condition of anonymity — said the harrowing incident has made people "look at Bishopville a little differently."

"I did have one guy who said he's afraid to come back down here," the employee told Blaze News, adding that a lot of people shop in the area, which police consistently patrol.

"It's crazy that it happened right there," the employee added to Blaze News.

Sheriff Daniel Simon in the aftermath told WIS that some "youth these days ... don't value life." Simon added to the station that the driver who hit the 15-year-old with the car "used the vehicle as a weapon. You might as well pull out a gun ... and pull the trigger."

WIS said the store is closed for now and that there's about $10,000 in damages.

Video: Alleged bully beats up crying 10-year-old girl, pulls her by hair to school restroom floor as other girls cheer attack



A Southern California mother shared disturbing cellphone video of an alleged bully beating up her crying 10-year-old daughter and pulling her by her hair to a school restroom floor as other girls cheered the physical attack.

What's more, the mother told KTTV-TV that the alleged bullying began against all three of her daughters after her husband died of a heart attack three years ago.

'How did it get this bad where the school didn't know anything about it, when I went to them multiple times about my daughters being bullied?'

"Ever since my husband passed, they've been getting bullied, telling them, ‘Oh, your dad died, hahaha.' It's so funny for them," Beatriz Hernandez told the station.

The station said Hernandez also showed KTTV a December 2023 report filed with Inglewood Unified School Police noting bullying against her daughters. The report said in one incident that one of her daughters was forced to eat hot chili peppers, and during another incident, milk and water were thrown at her daughters while they were walking with their grandmother, the station noted.

In regard to the cellphone video of the physical attack, KTTV said it occurred April 30 in a restroom at Woodworth-Monroe Academy in Inglewood at the end of the school day.

The attack happened after Hernandez' 10-year-old daughter ran into the restroom while her two siblings and their grandmother waited outside the school to head home, the station said, adding that other girls were waiting for her.

"My daughter was being dragged. She was literally being dragged," Hernandez told KTTV. "Even though it's another little girl, it's still bad. How did it get this bad where the school didn't know anything about it, when I went to them multiple times about my daughters being bullied?"

Believe it or not, her 10-year-old daughter was suspended after the April 30 incident for being "involved in a fight," the station reported.

KTTV said school officials didn't disclose if the other girls received punishments, but the district released a statement saying it's investigating the April 30 incident.

More from the station:

Emily Ruby, with Greenberg & Ruby, a firm that handles legal cases dealing with school bullying, says she is seeing younger and younger children involved in bullying incidents, where there seems to be a sense that nothing will happen to them.
 
She is also seeing that in more cases, it's putting the videos on social media that's behind the incidents.
 
But California law is stronger than the rest of the country, thanks partially to Seth's law which in 2012 required public schools to update their anti-bullying policies and programs, with a focus on protecting students who are bullied.

Hernandez told KTTV she's tired of going to school police and has filed a report with Inglewood Police.
