This happened about two weeks ago. I will offer no personal opinions here in the OP, just sharing information. Police have declined to release any information as it is an ongoing investigation.

News broke last week that a group of teenagers allegedly threw sticks and rocks at the boy before tying a rope around his neck and pushed him off a picnic table.
Quote:
Lorrie Slattery, the boy's grandmother, told Valley News that her grandson was playing with the teenagers at a yard in their neighborhood when the teens started calling him racial slurs and throwing sticks and rocks at his legs.

Congratulations, you now qualify as racial fearmonger.

How do you or any of us know what was happening between those kids? And you're going to trusty the slutty media to honestly inform you? That's another problem. Admitting the problems are the first step.

Why such a combative tone? Thevibe of your response comes off angry.


I guess you missed (or chose to ignore) where the account of what happened was a direct quote from the boy's grandmother? A direct quote from the boy's grandmother is not "fake news" from the "slutty media."

Also, do you consider Fox News as part of the "slutty media?" Because they covered the story and I linked the article to their website. Here is the link to this story on the Fox News website if you missed it:

OP claims the teenagers are white but the reports don't say that. Where did you get that from OP?

Black or brown teenagers are just as likely to do that to an eight yo biracial kid.

The only thing I can say is...I thought the media told us everyone in the south were racist? New Hampshire, though?

I live in New Hampshire. The odds of there being two unrelated minorities in any group of people in this state are very low.

I would hope these boys would be charged with attempted murder.

Horrifying. So glad he's okay but what a terrible thing to do to a child.
