As our youth further and further embrace thug culture, this will be the norm. Listen to their music, it preaches their religion.

As far as I can tell by this article...the 15 year old boy ought to be charged with assault. He was the first one to throw a punch.

Not that the 18 year old shouldn't be charged with assault with a weapon...but it appears that the 15 year old had difficulties with anger and impulse control.

I hope the kid survives...and that he learns a lesson from this. Keep your hands to yourself.

If I have anything to say about it, the "victim" will be charged with assault as well. The police should have charged both of them at the time. He attacked my son several times, while he was trying to get away from him. All the witness said Raney tried to walk away from Damron and Damron kept coming after him. Damron "snapped" and rushed Raney, pummelling his head. The victim always carries at least one knife and Raney knew this.
