A grieving Las Vegas mother has been left 'dumbfounded and in shock' after four bullies who were caught on camera beating her son to death accepted plea deals.
Melissa Ready lost her son Jonathan Lewis, 17, after he was attacked by a group of teens and stomped to the point of unconsciousness, before dying a week later.
Dontral Beaver, 16, Damian Hernandez, 18, Treavion Randolph, 16, and Gianni Robinson all stood accused of his murder after being charged as adults in January.
On Thursday, it was announced that they all accepted a plea deal that will allow them to plead guilty as juveniles to manslaughter.

Somehow, when I read that the teens “agreed to fight over a vape pen,” I got the feeling there is more to this story than we have been told, which is becoming almost a routine practice by the biased MSM.

Plea deals - that's all demonrat DAs care about. Why? Because they're probably inept at prosecuting anyone.

Members of the protected class lynching a member of the unprotected class. Just like the old segregationist South, but with the races reversed.

Those young men are vicious barbarians who should never be allowed back in society. They are and always will be a threat.

Dontral. Damian. Treavion. Gianni. All names that guarantee failure in life. Their first misfortune was being conceived. Their second was having mothers who would give them names like that. I'm sure their lives are full of stupid mistakes, not the least of which are those tarantula hair styles.
They never had a chance in life, just like their victims.

The military are taught the "heel stomp". That is a killing move.

Teens do not act like that unless they have weird names like Dontral and Treavion, they are animals, to use Trump's appropriate description.

Pleading guilt to Juvenile manslaughter for murder. That's like giving them a couple of years in a rest home.

Yes, #8. And I’ll bet that not one of them even knows who his father is much less having a father in his home.
Great job, LBJ.

Remember the old civil rights anthem of We shall overcome someday and (updated) become a protected class and literally get away with murder because of our skin color.

Why does the media seem to use the same mugshots over and over for these heinous crimes? You'd think there would be some different ones by now.

Detect a pattern? Were these evil creeps coming from or heading to looting some store?

“Defense lawyer Robert Draskovich, representing Robinson, called the fight a tragedy, but said convicting the four as adults would have been a second tragedy. On Thursday, he said: 'This negotiation enables my client to graduate high school, move on with his life and become a productive citizen.'”
Both you and I know that will never happen, Robert.

Agreed to fight over a vape pen?
ONE teen agreed to fight FOUR or more others, all at once?
Not bloody likely, totally implausible, in fact...Not Possible.

And why not the death penalty for all of them?

This is an outrage. When it happened, the paper showed these thugs appearing in court, smirking and saying they'd be out before 30 days were up. When they do serve what little time they will, they will commit more crimes, mark my words.
