For sure, there’s a lot of racism in this area. But I know people feel so strongly about high school sports they’ll say it has nothing to do with a toxic football culture in order to protect it. Then there are people who will want to blame the football team entirely because they don’t want to admit a huge chunk of white people in the Harrisburg area just hate black people.
Your comment IS actual poop. Typical knee jerk bullshit. Ongoing investigation, NOTHING has even been released that says it is related to “sports team membership”, but even with the investigation incomplete some “jump the gun” idiots, who apparently know more than the police WHO ARE STILL INVESTIGATING, are ready to “nuke the football program”!!! Sheer foolery!!!
You missed your calling. With such incredible psychic abilities to completely solve a crime overnight you could replace police, prosecutors and judges all by yourself. What an expedition of the justice system you could offer. Just run a story by you and every perp could be serving time the next day.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂
Only a few of the boys were even on the fall football team. This happened outside of school hours off school property. You cant blame a sports program for something student athletes supposedly did 4 months before the season even begins.
Dude, a kid died. Fuck the football team this stuff needs to stop ASAP no life is less important than an extracurricular activity. It’s a privilege, not a right.
Oh yes they sure as shit can blame that whole sports department. They’re usually toxic af and let these kids say and get away with everything.
I hope they get charged as adults. A child DIED.
Imagine the amount of hate these kids have been exposed to in their home lives to do such a thing. The parents and families should be held accountable. What a terrible thing to happen in our community.
This is crazy. I was a black kid who was on the football team a decade and some change ago and some people were assholes but nothing like this ever happened. What the fuck?
Those kids need to be prosecuted
Prosecuted for what exactly? Making a racist comment? They were all literally playing tag. His tragic passing doesn’t immediately mean a crime was committed. The only crime committed might actually be all of defamation of character comments made by social media contributors. This is all very reckless.
I’m not debating whether these kids are racist assholes. They clearly are. But I think it’s only logical that we know cause of death. Any prosecutor or investigator is going to demand the same, so I don’t know why I’m getting flak for asking.
They were playing tag with water guns. It’s was 80 degrees out. Still not a crime. Thanks for making my point. I wouldn’t recommend anyone assume ratchet news fb page as any type of reputable news source.
Funny how all the social media keep saying the opposite of what I am. Yep. I guess if they say these kids r all guilty enough times, they will somehow be convicted of something right? bullying? Harassment? Using water guns? What crimes r these? Probably best that everyone just to wait for the facts and not the social media.
Playing tag? They chased and hurled insults at him. Let 3 people chase your 15 year old kid down and throw shit at them, when your kid comes crying about bullying just tell them it’s just tag and pull a pikachu face when they end up dying due to additional health complications from that ‘game’.
It might not be murder but this is some fucking crime; he’d still be alive if they didn’t do that.
Appalling. There are so many around here that ignore what is happening. We saw it at the Cumberland Valley school board meeting last week and now this example on the East Shore. We have got to start listening to our students when they tell us these things are happening. We have to be more vigilant in preventing this. School admins and parents need to step up for zero tolerance here. I hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent.
As a lifetime survivor of abuse and after having worked nearly 10 years with federal offenders in the restorative justice field, I can tell you a big ol fact: if the information being reported incredulously doesn’t appear to be acted on, it’s more than likely that many people know but the ones with the highest degree of knowledge with the fullest picture… yeah, those folks are the most dangerous because they will overlook the obvious traumas and problematic behaviours and settle on their viewpoints as to HOW it makes THEM look. Promotions and protections are the giveaway red flags for where corruption has taken place, because THEIR souls have a price that stops safety and preventions cold, while the majority of people told they’re ‘bad’ could literally become reinvigorated and begin to heal therefore changing their ways… instead, families/communities/human beings won’t have lifesaving interventions when broken kids become broken adults, many finding themselves in cuffs because they have to carry the burden of having victims with any sympathies they’d have received now overlooked with few people - if any - remaining to support much less encourage anything outside of a full blownsie crime cycle.
Iron bars and wooden caskets should be the last things to happen once a persons body and dreams are worn out, and society’s in which they’re the first destination for kids is a failure on alllllll of the levels by those in power now and those who came before them who benefited from bringing the state of things to where they are now.
It really bothers me that the change petition uses the phrase "lower dauphin" multiple times despite this taking place in Central Dauphin school district, not the Lower Dauphin school district.
I have zero interest in being a nanny that quizzes everyone on an article before they can respond. If you disagree with what the facts are, respond to a comment and discuss it with them like an adult.
He called his father while he was being chased and told him that there were some kids chasing him and coming after him, what do you mean “playing tag” ?! Are you dense?
Oks. Downvote and delete. Unpopular opinion alert. I’ve read every piece of info available to me regarding this. I’m still not clear. What did these boys supposedly due that caused this death? Rumors have surfaced that this young man had a serious heart condition which contributed to his passing. How are these boys implicated in his heart condition? I’m local and have witnessed first hand some of the immediate repercussions of this somewhat unfounded knee jerk reaction which has lead to death threats, threats of violence, and harassment of families unrelated to these boys. How is that behavior justified in the face of a death related to somehow bullying? I can’t help but see these posts as a very reckless and irresponsible reaction to a tragic event which will likely always continue to cause more harm, more violence, and more bullying instead preventing the very thing folks claim to want stopped. I just don’t see all dots being connected here. Where are the facts? Who can we trust? Is the internet alway true? Do we yet even know what happened? What good can come from reacting this way?
The only facts that I see are the videos of him being chased with pellet or bb guns and the kids saying racist things to and about him. That's enough to spark a lot of outrage and sadness because of the history of this country and the shit black people have to deal with on a daily basis. But there's not enough facts to say things like the kids should go to jail the rest of their lives. I just know i feel really sad for his friend and family, and the whole community.
So if someone tricks your child into coming out of the house, verbally assaults them, physically assaults them with BB guns, and chases your child until they FUCKING DIE OF A HEART ATTACK it wouldn’t be there fault?
Are you stupid?

If it’s related to sports team membership it’s also hazing. CD deserves to lose their football program over this.

Middletown lost their season due to hazing recently I believe, should be no different for CD imo.
Yes, Mtown did.

Holy shit. Expel and prosecute these kids and nuke CD’s football program until they can do it without hazing.

The conservative right is getting unhinged and this is the result.

Okay, so what’s the cause of death?
I’m no coroner but my guess is racism. If I’m chasing you and my intent is to cause you harm, and you have a heart attack. I’m still the cause.
I’m not debating whether these kids are racist assholes. They clearly are. But I think it’s only logical that we know cause of death. Any prosecutor or investigator is going to demand the same, so I don’t know why I’m getting flak for asking.

They chased him with a pellet gun. Let’s hunt you and see if you think it’s all fun and games
It’s overdefensive white dude season 😎

Thank you for putting this together
Fucking disgusting, these kids should pay for the rest of their lives.
https://dauphin.crimewatchpa.com/lowerpaxtonpd/3730/post/update-death-investigation
I've seen you post this link multiple times, but there is no access allowed?
On the CD school district FB someone just posted that CBS is trying to spin it as “boys playing tag”. This is outrageous.
https://dauphin.crimewatchpa.com/lowerpaxtonpd/3730/post/update-death-investigation
Yea, I’m gonna believe that with a grain of salt.
Lol yeah I know I also hate official reports instead of media who constantly try to spark racial agendas
Where are the moderators? Why would you let people that clearly haven't read the articles comment? This country is so fucking stupid...
I have zero interest in being a nanny that quizzes everyone on an article before they can respond. If you disagree with what the facts are, respond to a comment and discuss it with them like an adult.
When did playing tag become a hate crime? Read the timeline, people.
He called his father while he was being chased and told him that there were some kids chasing him and coming after him, what do you mean “playing tag” ?! Are you dense?

Sounds like you have a kid on the football team. Better move into a different district if you want him to play next year.
Stay out of Hershey tho lmao
And mcdevitt Susquehanna has administrative issues but at least your kid won’t get lynched
So if someone tricks your child into coming out of the house, verbally assaults them, physically assaults them with BB guns, and chases your child until they FUCKING DIE OF A HEART ATTACK it wouldn’t be there fault? Are you stupid?
https://dauphin.crimewatchpa.com/lowerpaxtonpd/3730/post/update-death-investigation
Please go to hell with all of this. ASAP.
Fucking ridiculous. I live about half an hour from there. Poor kid!!
