13 thugs chase, stab, beat, rob teen boy on his way home from school in NYC. They make off with his sneakers — worth $350.



A 15-year-old New York City boy spoke out from his hospital bed this week after police said a group of 13 suspects — also teenagers — attacked and stabbed and robbed him on Oct. 22.

Police said the boy was on his way home from school in Jamaica, Queens, when the broad-daylight attack occurred at the intersection of 160th Street and Hillside Avenue, WCBS-TV reported.

'What happened to my son is horrific.'

With his mother by his side, the victim recounted to the station the words of one of his attackers.

"Give me all your clothes, whatever you're wearing, your shoes," the boy recalled one of the mob members telling him, WCBS noted.

He then told the station, "I [started] running. After that, they pushed me and stabbed me."

The vicious attack left the 15-year-old with severe stab wounds, broken bones, bruises — and needing surgery, the station said.

After all that, WCBS said the suspects stole the victim's sneakers — worth $350.

"I was shocked to see my son in this condition," the boy's mother told the station in her native language of Punjabi. "What happened to my son is horrific."

Local activist Japneet Singh told WCBS the attack took place on "a major avenue, major corridor" and that "if that can happen to this boy, it can happen to any of our children. We have to make sure we protect our kids."

While the boy has months of recovery ahead of him — including three surgeries — his mother told the station she hopes those responsible are caught. Meanwhile, she added to WCBS that she's not leaving his side: "Ever since he was attacked, I've been here with him day and night."

Police told WNYW-TV that detectives are reviewing surveillance video from the area to identify those involved.

Those with information about the attack are urged to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS (8477), WNYW said, adding that tips can be submitted confidentially online or by text.

Gun-wielding thug demands Rolex from man. But victim allegedly is a retired wrestler — and the tables are about to turn.



The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told Blaze News that deputies responded just before 1 p.m. Wednesday to the 900 block of North Sweetzer Avenue in West Hollywood regarding an armed robbery call.

According to the victim, a dark-colored sedan was seen traveling down the street at a high rate of speed before stopping near his location, authorities said.

The driver didn't need directions.

'At one point the guy’s arm got dislocated ...'

The sheriff's department told Blaze News that an adult black male wearing a mask exited the vehicle holding a semiautomatic handgun and demanded the victim’s Rolex watch.

But the victim refused to comply, and a physical struggle ensued, authorities said.

Patrick McCloskey told KTLA-TV he was working from home when he heard a woman screaming from the sidewalk: “The chaos was so intense, I didn’t know who jumped who. I ran to the door to see what was happening. At that point, I hear her yell, ‘Get the gun, get the gun!’”

Apparently getting hold of the gun wasn't too difficult for the victim, as McCloskey explained to the station that the gunman "didn’t know that the guy was a retired wrestler. So he was able to get the gun off the guy and wrestle him down.”

Video of the incident's aftermath shows the victim — who didn't want to be identified — telling a deputy that he grabbed the gunman’s wrist and put him on the ground before taking the gun away, KTLA reported.

The victim's girlfriend then threw the gun over a nearby fence, and he held the suspect down until police arrived, the station said.

The sheriff's department told Blaze News that a second adult male suspect exited the vehicle during the struggle but fled the scene in the dark-colored sedan prior to the arrival of deputies.

Responding deputies recovered the gun and took the suspect into custody without further incident, officials said.

“I was told the gun was loaded,” McCloskey noted to KTLA. “The guy who is sort of the hero in all of this, who was able to pin the guy down, told me he saw a bullet in the chamber.”

McCloskey added to the station that the retired wrestler showed no mercy in his struggle with the gunman: “At one point the guy’s arm got dislocated, and he just held him down."

Video that KTLA obtained from the scene shows deputies arresting the suspect and recovering the gun allegedly used during the incident, the station said.

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information about the investigation is urged to contact LASD’s West Hollywood Station, KTLA added.

Commenters on KTLA's Facebook post about the ordeal seemed pleased with the outcome:

  • "FAFO at its best. Way to go!" one commenter said.
  • "This is why California needs to be open carry like Texas!" another user declared.
  • "Need more people like this hero to fight back!" another commenter said.
  • "You never know who you messing with," another user observed.
  • "News like this [is] soooooo satisfying!" another commenter exclaimed.

Blaze News had asked the sheriff's department for the name of the suspect as well as his age, charge or charges against him, any past offenses, and his arrest photo, but officials did not provide that information.

Insane video shows female beating up city bus driver before crash into restaurant — and then she actually keeps attacking him



A new video shows a female beating up a male Metro bus driver in Madison, Wisconsin, earlier this year before the bus crashed into a restaurant — and somehow the female continued the beatdown after the crash.

Prosecutors said 26-year-old Raeven Johnson attacked the bus driver on Feb. 25 after he said her desired destination wasn't part of the bus route, according to Channel3000.com, which recently obtained the video.

Opting for a different mode of transportation that night would've been a much better — and much less costly — idea for Johnson.

The clip shows Johnson attempting to insert a ticket, and the bus driver attempting to prevent the ticket from going into the slot.

With that, Johnson begins hitting the bus driver, who is seated — and the bus begins moving as the driver attempts to defend himself against Johnson's relentless attack.

Soon the out-of-control bus veered to the right and smashed into the Asian House restaurant, Channel3000.com reported.

While the collision momentarily interrupted her beatdown and threw her to the door of the bus, Johnson — who appeared to lose her wig during the altercation — quickly went right back to attacking the bus driver, as she appeared to pull him backward from his seat.

Two people, including the driver, were injured in the crash, Channel3000.com said, and one of them had to be hospitalized.

According to WMTV-TV, the back office of QPS Employment Group was crushed as a result of the crash, and Asian House's kitchen appliances were damaged as well.

Opting for a different mode of transportation that night would've been a much better — and much less costly — idea for Johnson.

She pleaded guilty in August to second-degree recklessly endangering safety and attempted battery to a public transit officer, WMTV said, adding that a judge earlier this month ordered her to serve three years in prison.

Conditions of her sentence include a ban from all Madison Metro property and buses, and she's prohibited from having alcohol, the station said.

Her sentence will be followed by three years of extended supervision, WMTV said, adding that online court documents indicate a restitution hearing is scheduled for Dec. 5.

Lone man who stepped up and stopped brutal beating of elderly worker at rap concert tells why he intervened: 'Had to be done'



A cellphone video began going viral about a week ago showing a young male knocking down an elderly worker at a Kansas City concert venue and delivering well over a dozen blows to the worker's face and head.

The brutal attack took place two Sundays ago during a rap concert featuring NBA YoungBoy at the T-Mobile Center. Police confirmed to Blaze News that the suspect is under the age of 16.

'I was raised with morals and values. You can’t act like that, especially to our elders.'

The victim of the attack caught on video — 66-year-old Thomas Schlange — is seen on the clip trying to push away the teenager who towers over him, but Schlange has no chance. The teen begins delivering a flurry of lefts and rights as Schlange is flat on his back and trapped on the floor between two rows of seats.

RELATED: Viral video: High schooler physically attacks teacher in front of other students — then cop gives kid brutal wake-up call

Finally a man is seen on the clip pulling the teen off the victim, who appears dazed, and blood is seen around his mouth as others try to help him up.

That man — the only person who stepped up and stopped the brutal beating — is Antonio Clayter, and he told WDAF-TV what he saw in that moment and why he intervened.

Clayter told the the station that Schlange was "just doing his job" when “the kid just pushed him; he just spazzed out, and he pushed him."

Before long, the teen suspect was hovering over Schlange and pummeling him in the head with his fists. Then suddenly Clayter appears in the camera frame and pulls the attacker off Schlange.

“I had to,” Clayter recalled to WDAF. “It wasn’t even a feeling; it was something that had to be done. Like, I have family members that are that age. This isn’t right. ... I was raised with morals and values. You can’t act like that, especially to our elders.”

Clayter also offered a warning to the teen, the station said: “You can’t grow up with that type of mentality, because you’re not gonna get far in life at all. … I’ve been in trouble, and I know what road that you can go down. ... You’re not gonna get anywhere good besides prison or dead that way, bro."

RELATED: Male, 19, accused of hitting girlfriend's baby in head so hard that little girl had to go on ventilator. Now she's dead.

WDAF in a previous story said the suspect also assaulted a security guard who ejected him from the venue.

A T-Mobile Center spokesperson told Blaze News that the staff members "sustained serious injuries. After receiving prompt care from on-site first aid personnel, they were later treated at a local hospital for their injuries."

Officer Alayna Gonzalez of the Kansas City Police Department told Blaze News that the "juvenile male was detained and subsequently released to his guardian pending further investigation."

Police also told Blaze News that detectives on Friday submitted a case file to juvenile court "for consideration of applicable charges" against the teen suspect. The station also said police were expected to meet Friday with Schlange — who is at home and recovering — as part of their investigation.

As for Schlange, he told WDAF in a follow-up story that "I went down and had blows to my head" and that his priority in those moments was "just getting him off, getting him off of me … because he was so enraged, so we were just, in essence, trying to protect the fans."

So what allegedly set off the suspect?

Witness and local pastor Robert McDaniel told the station the attack commenced after the suspect was told his ticket didn’t match the seat he was in.

“He was asked to move to another place because his ticket wasn’t where he was sitting, and immediately he just completely lost it,” McDaniel recounted to WDAF.

McDaniel also remarked to the station that the disturbing video underscores the inability of some teens these days to control their emotions.

“But there is something going on in his heart that needs to be fixed, and what that is is his emotions,” McDaniel added to WDAF. “He needs to learn how to operate and work through and process those emotions.”

Sheriff gave dire public warning after being forced to release 'very dangerous' inmate. Turns out his warning was warranted.



Steve Reams, sheriff for Weld County in Colorado, posted a chilling warning on Facebook earlier this month.

Reams revealed that an inmate who "is a potential danger to the community" was being released.

'God help this State.'

The sheriff's Facebook post included a mugshot of 21-year-old Ephraim Debisa (aka Debisa Ephraim) along with video allegedly showing the suspect repeatedly pounding the heads of fight victims even after they were unconscious.

In the first part of the clip, a male appears to get knocked out and is lying on a sidewalk when another male begins repeatedly punching the victim in the face; the second part shows a one-on-one street fight during which a male sucker-punches another male, the punched male falls to the street, and the male who walloped him repeatedly punches the face of the motionless victim.

Reams said Greeley Police arrested Debisa on April 5 on charges of suspicion of attempted murder, first-degree assault causing serious bodily injury, and engaging in a riot. Reams said Greeley Police on April 23 issued another arrest for a separate case regarding Debisa while he was still incarcerated in the Weld County jail.

Nevertheless, the sheriff noted in his Sept. 8 Facebook post that Debisa "will be released from the Weld County jail today per Colorado statute. Competency was raised in two of his criminal cases, and the courts found in July of this year his competency could not be restored, and therefore he would not be able to stand trial."

Reams added, "The state legislature and the Governor have continued to weaken the criminal justice system by handcuffing law enforcement, prosecutors and judges for the sake of criminals. Colorado HB24-1034 has created a crisis where very dangerous individuals are being released to the street to reoffend over and over; this is the latest example. I pray this individual doesn't hurt another innocent victim, but the public deserves to know of his past violent actions so they can protect themselves accordingly. God help this State."

Democrat Gov. Jared Polis signed House Bill 24-1034 into law last year, KCNC-TV reported, which says in part that those deemed incompetent to stand trial in the last five years should be given mental health treatment if possible.

RELATED: Justice for Laken Riley at risk? Shocking court decision could give vicious killer a new trial.

But Sheriff Reams told the station that the law allows those who don't qualify for the mental health program to be released without further attention. Indeed, the Weld County District Attorney's Office told KCNC it had to drop its case against Debisa since mental health evaluators did not believe they could restore his competency within a reasonable, foreseeable future, which the law requires.

"With that ruling, we are forced to release that individual," Reams told the station.

The sheriff added to KCNC that prosecutors tried to extend Debisa's jail stay through legal channels while trying to find ways to prosecute him further or get him into a mental health facility. But those efforts were exhausted, and the inmate was legally required to be released, the station said.

"He is a very dangerous person, and his actions, from what we can tell, were unprovoked," Reams added to KCNC.

Reams added to the station that he would have considered getting federal agencies involved to consider deportation since Debisa is a refugee from Tanzania — except technically he was never acquitted or found guilty of the charges against him; Debisa only was found incompetent to stand trial. Therefore he also couldn't be prosecuted for deportation, KCNC said.

A warranted warning

As you might already be guessing, it turns out that Sheriff Reams' dire warning to the public earlier this month was warranted.

Police in Greeley just arrested Debisa after University of Northern Colorado officials said he was spotted on campus with a gun, KCNC reported in a follow-up story.

RELATED: Ohio woman who allegedly stabbed 3-year-old to death at grocery store found incompetent to stand trial

Indeed, the Weld County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday, "Today, Ephraim Debisa, 21, was arrested again by the Greeley Police Dept. with the help of the Weld County Sheriff’s Office STRIKE team."

The sheriff's office said Debisa was arrested on a warrant from the UNC police on a pair of felony charges: unlawful possession of a weapon on school grounds and trespass of an inhabited dwelling.

Sheriff Reams reacted to Debisa's new arrest by saying exactly what you might expect: "I knew this would happen. I am glad no one was hurt."

The sheriff's office added that jail staff couldn't produce a new mugshot for Debisa "due to his uncooperative behavior." Debisa in a virtual interview from jail said he's being politically targeted.

More from KCNC's follow-up story:

CBS News Colorado's report about Debisa's release was shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, by Elon Musk. It was also shared as one of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's final tweets before he was assassinated the next day. Musk and Kirk both echoed the sentiments Reams had in the CBS News Colorado report, demanding laws be changed to not allow people facing serious charges to be released in such a way as HB24-1034 allowed.

Gov. Jared Polis responded to Musk's share of the report, claiming Debisa's release was "absolutely unacceptable." Polis tweeted out, calling on authorities to "Remove this threat now." However, both Reams and Weld County District Attorney Michael Rourke said they followed the law that Polis signed, citing the law as the reason they weren't able to retain Debisa in jail.

Lori Gimelshteyn of the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network knows about this issue all too well. Her group launched a petition calling for Polis and the state legislature to convene an emergency special session to amend or repeal competency laws "before more lives are impacted."

Gimelshteyn told Blaze News that "these laws have created a revolving door for violent offenders, putting communities at risk and denying justice to victims and their families."

One prominent related case in Colorado concerns Solomon Galligan, a transgender sex offender accused of trying to kidnap a boy at an elementary school. As it turns out, Galligan recently was declared incompetent to stand trial, and his charges were dropped.

Gimelshteyn told Blaze News the Galligan case "is just one of many where the system has failed" — and that she hopes the new Debisa case "will prompt even more [petition] signatures, as it highlights just how serious the consequences of the current competency laws are."

Sheriff Reams told KCNC that both cases "are very giant highlights to the mistake that was made. It needs to be corrected. Someone is going to get hurt, and someone is gonna get hurt bad."

Viral video: Thug who cops say is younger than 16 repeatedly pummels elderly worker in brutal attack during rap concert



A viral video shows a male knocking down an elderly worker at a Kansas City concert venue and delivering well over a dozen blows to the worker's face and head.

The brutal attack took place Sunday during a rap concert featuring NBA YoungBoy at the T-Mobile Center. Police confirmed to Blaze News that the suspect is under the age of 16.

'He just completely lost it.'

Officer Alayna Gonzalez of the Kansas City Police Department added to Blaze News that the "juvenile male was detained and subsequently released to his guardian pending further investigation. This investigation is active and ongoing, and detectives are actively working with prosecutors for consideration of applicable charges."

WDAF-TV reported that the suspect also assaulted a security guard who ejected him from the venue.

Shani Tate Ross, a T-Mobile Center spokesperson, told Blaze News that the staff member "sustained serious injuries. After receiving prompt care from on-site first aid personnel, they were later treated at a local hospital for their injuries."

The victim of the attack caught on video — 66-year-old Thomas Schlange — is seen on the clip trying to push away the teenager who towers over him, but he has no chance. The teen begins delivering a flurry of lefts and rights as Schlange is flat on his back and trapped on the floor between two rows of seats. Finally another male pulls the teen off the victim, who appears dazed, and blood is seen around his mouth as others try to help him up.

Schlange told WDAF in a follow-up story that "I went down and had blows to my head" and that his priority in those moments was "just getting him off, getting him off of me … because he was so enraged, so we were just, in essence, trying to protect the fans."

So what allegedly set off the suspect?

Schlange — who has worked his job for over 20 years — added to the station that "young adults or people growing into adulthood ... need to learn how to control ... anger."

The office of Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas noted to WDAF that the T-Mobile Center "will work with KCPD, our prosecutors, and our employees to ensure the assailants are identified and charged for the criminal conduct that occurred Sunday evening.”

The station added that Schlange is expected to meet Friday with Kansas City police.

What's more, the United Center in Chicago noted on its website that it canceled the NBA YoungBoy concert scheduled for Wednesday, WDAF noted.

Many observers are furious over the brutal attack. Here are just a few of their reactions.

  • "Disgusting. What a sad excuse for a human. I hope he’s charged, as an adult, with felony assault," one commenter wrote. "He deserves lengthy jail time."
  • "Elderly abuse. Assault," another commenter stated. "10 [years] from now the boy will be in prison or dead."
  • "What a complete POS," another commenter noted. "Kid steals someone else's seat then freaks as soon as he's called out on it SMH. This dirtbag needs to be put in jail for a long while; decent people don't behave like this."

Florida classroom assistant jailed after 'knee-jerk' physical reaction to 6-year-old autism student's behavior: Cops



A 65-year-old male working as a substitute classroom assistant at a Florida elementary school was arrested for child abuse last week, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.

David Jones was assigned to a special-needs classroom at Oakhurst Elementary School in Largo, deputies said.

'As a special-needs mom, I’d probably be in a lot of trouble if that was my kid.'

After lunch on Sept. 15, a 6-year-old — who has autism and is semi-verbal — was hitting and kicking as a sign of communication, deputies said.

Jones swung a lunch box containing a metal canister, striking the victim in the face and causing a welt on the victim’s forehead, deputies said.

On Sept.16, deputies said Jones admitted to the incident and stated it was a “knee-jerk” reaction when dealing with the victim, whom he knew has special needs.

Jones was charged with one count of child abuse and taken to the Pinellas County Jail, deputies said.

Jail records indicate that Jones — who stands 6'1'' and weighs 280 pounds — was booked into jail Sept. 16 and released on his own recognizance Sept. 17.

RELATED: Arrested school district superintendent resigns amid claims that teachers mentally, verbally abused special-needs students

WTSP-TV said in a Sept. 16 broadcast that Pinellas County Schools fired Jones.

"Pinellas County Schools has zero tolerance for staff behavior that jeopardizes student safety or the integrity of our schools. The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority, and we are committed to ensuring that every child is treated with kindness, dignity, and respect," the district told the station in a statement.

Numerous individuals were livid over the incident. Here's a brief sampling:

  • "I am beyond over seeing this type of behavior from adults," one commenter said. "Granted special-needs child[ren] can be challenging, but it’s the school's responsibility to ensure proper training and to protect all children in their care. I am a mom of a special-needs adult now, and this really hits hard! Glad they have done the right thing!"
  • "Schools need to do better screening teachers and staff," another commenter noted.
  • "As a special-needs mom, I’d probably be in a lot of trouble if that was my kid," another commenter admitted. "There is absolutely no reason for that."

Video shows unhinged female shoving much older woman off city bus — and victim's horrific, face-first landing on sidewalk



Prosecutors said a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority bus was crowded on Sept. 8, and it was difficult for riders to exit, WBZ-TV reported.

Investigators said it was around 1 p.m. when 32-year-old Luz Pineda, who was with her 3-month-old baby, wanted to get off the bus at the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/Warren Street stop in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood, WCVB-TV reported.

Prosecutors said the woman — who has no recollection of the incident — suffered a facial cut, a ruptured blood vessel, and a concussion.

But a 63-year-old woman apparently was in the way.

Pineda allegedly asked the woman to move from the exit, but she refused, WBZ said. Prosecutors said the pair began to argue, Pineda started screaming at the woman, and then she kicked the woman's shopping cart off the bus, WBZ noted.

Pineda allegedly then upped the ante, turning her attention to the victim herself.

Prosecutor Jacqueline Cassano said Paneda "pushed her off the bus," WCVB reported, adding that video shows the victim being pushed off the bus and landing face-first on the sidewalk.

RELATED: Witnesses say elderly man asked woman to 'be nicer to passengers' — then she pushed him out bus door. He died a month later.

Prosecutors added that Pineda took off her sweatshirt and put her hair up in a bun, WBZ said, possibly to change her appearance to evade police. Pineda later was seen leaving the bus through a door with a stroller, WCVB added.

Bystanders as well as the bus driver stood over the victim before paramedics arrived to render aid 20 minutes later, WCVB reported, adding that prosecutors said the woman — who has no recollection of the incident — suffered a facial cut, a ruptured blood vessel, and a concussion.

More from WBZ:

Police said a witness recorded video of the incident and posted it on social media. Investigators were able to corroborate it with surveillance video from the bus. Pineda was allegedly identified in the video by neighbors and two anonymous individuals.

Pineda's defense attorney said she was coming back home from an appointment at Boston Children's Hospital with her 3-month-old, who was born prematurely. He said he hadn't viewed the video but that the victim was preventing Pineda and her baby from exiting the bus.

Pineda also has prior charges for assault and battery on a family member and a guilty probation for trafficking cocaine, which she violated.

Pineda was arraigned Thursday on a charge of assault and battery on a person older than 60 causing injuries, WCVB reported. Pineda pleaded not guilty during the hearing in Roxbury District Court, WBZ added.

A judge set Pineda's bail at $5,000 and said she must stay away from and have no contact with the victim or any witnesses, WBZ noted, adding that she also was ordered to stay off MBTA property, including buses and trains.

Pineda is due back in court Oct. 3 for a pretrial hearing, WBZ said.

'White boy,' 'cracker': Subway rider dares to glance at hollering female behind him — so she veers into beatdown mode: Cops



A New York City subway rider dared to glance at hollering female seated behind him over the weekend, and she reacted by repeatedly hitting the man with her fists — and racial slurs — the New York Post said, citing police and sources.

The paper — which characterized the female in question as a "hate-fueled attacker" and "anti-white" — said 20-year-old Genesis Gittens was yelling on a southbound L train at the 1st Avenue and East 14th Street station in Manhattan just after 2 a.m. Sunday.

'They’re getting even more brazen these days.'

A 28-year-old man sitting in front of her turned to look, the Post said, citing authorities and law enforcement sources.

With that, the Post — citing a criminal complaint — reported that Gittens "flew into a rage, repeatedly punching the straphanger in the face as she sneered, 'White boy' and 'cracker.'"

Police said the victim was left with a bloody nose and refused medical attention, according to the paper, which characterized the attack as "unprovoked."

Gittens was arrested less than an hour later and charged with third-degree assault as a hate crime, the Post said, citing the complaint.

The paper — citing court records — said she pleaded not guilty during her arraignment and was released. It isn't clear if another court date for Gittens has been scheduled.

Commenters on X issued pointed reactions to the incident.

  • "These stories just keep coming," one commenter said. "NYC is a cesspool."
  • "They’re getting even more brazen these days," another user observed.
  • "Why doesn’t the city employ more officers to ride the subway?" another commenter wondered.
  • "Another one of those 'safe' days on the NYC subway," another user quipped.

Another commenter asked, "Have we learned no lesson on where to sit on a train? Don’t stand too close to the door, either, or you can get pulled out of the train or have your phone or purse stolen. Don’t stand close to the edge of train platform [because] you can get pushed [into] the incoming train. Don’t fall asleep, or you can be burned alive. Maybe you should not ride the train alone or NEVER."

Indeed, 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was minding her own business, scrolling on her phone on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Aug. 22, when a male seated behind her suddenly stood up and repeatedly stabbed Zarutska in the neck. She bled out on the train after the unprovoked attack and died.

The killer was soon heard saying, "I got that white girl," surveillance video appeared to show. Suspect Decarlos Brown has been charged with first-degree murder, but a federal criminal complaint also was filed against him last week in U.S. District Court in Charlotte, charging Brown with one count of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system.

Charlie Kirk hater goes nuclear on supporter of slain activist — then pays price after allegedly unleashing physical attacks



A unhinged female was caught on video mocking and accosting a Charlie Kirk supporter — and paid a big price after allegedly unleashing physical attacks.

The incident took place Friday at Texas Tech University and involved a student there, the Daily Mail reported.

'I'm not being aggressive! My voice is very calm! You're calling me aggressive because I'm a black woman!'

Cellphone video shows a man wearing a Make America Great Again hat and holding a sign in memory of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated Wednesday at Utah Valley University during one of his popular student-focused events.

But a female didn't like the Kirk supporter's sign, which simply read, "Rest in peace, Charlie."

Video shows the female jumping up and down and chanting "F**k y'all homie dead! He got shot in the head!"

The man wearing the MAGA hat says, "Evil is real, people, and it kind of looks like that," as he pans his cell phone toward the female in question. He adds, "Evil. Evil. Murder is bad; she is evil."

She's seen getting in the man's face with her cell phone, after which he asks, "Can somebody tell her to back up, please?"

Oddly, the female tells him to not push the camera in her face, and he replies, "I'm sitting here. You walked up to me. I don't want this. I said, 'Rest in peace.' Just leave me alone. Please don't come after me. I want to be left alone."

Another female off-camera tells her she is being emotional, which only raises her ire: "I'm not emotional, ma'am! Don't tell me what I am and what I'm not! You can get out of my face 'cause I can tell you what you are, but you won't like it!"

The man insists she is being aggressive, and then the female shoots back, "I'm not being aggressive! My voice is very calm! You're calling me aggressive because I'm a black woman!" The man denies the allegation.

The Daily Mail identified the female in question as 18-year-old Camryn Giselle Booker, a Texas Tech University student.

The outlet added that things escalated when "Booker allegedly shoved several people, including an elderly veteran and a young mother with her child" — and that "prompted a physical altercation that spread into the street."

The Lubbock County Sheriff's Office on Monday morning told Blaze News that Texas Tech Police arrested Booker on Friday, that she was given a Class C Citation for assault, and that she posted a $200 cash bond on Saturday.

The incident caught the attention of Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who posted reactions on X. One of them reads, "Definitely picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk. Thanks Texas Tech."

The other post from Abbott shows a photo of Booker getting handcuffed, and it reads, "This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Texas Tech. FAFO."

In response to one of Abbott's posts, Cody Campbell — chairman of the Board of Regents for the Texas Tech University System — posted on X that "We, @TexasTech, are proud of our values and are not afraid to stand up for them. Strive for Honor Evermore! Long Live the Matadors!!"

NewsNation reported that it's attempting to confirm reports of Booker's expulsion from Texas Tech and has reached out to the school for comment.
