This makes me sick. I swear sometimes I am embarrass to be black.

I wonder why they was beating him!! Hope it wasn’t because he was an honor student.

I cnt even watch the video. Why didnt they kill one another instead of a productive, striving young man trying to become something in life unlike their retarded black asses. I commend parents though, because more than likely their parents are ignorant themselves.

blame* parents

I kinda want Angel to take this down… wow!

Zoom in… WTF!? Drop the cam and help that kid!!!!!!!

Why so many MF’s just watching?

I’m dumbfounded!

This is so so ridiculous !! I cried and was so angry at the same time, that could have been my child!!! Stupid,stupid,stupid and for what??? Do anyone have an answer? Stop blaming the white man because u are doing this to yourself, Point blank end of discussion!! Makes me sick to my stomach!!

That’s so sad……..i feel so sorry for his family……i send my deepest sympathy

ugh can we get some good news please? this is so sad! what is the world coming to?

Thats sickening. Really times are getting worse. I know this video must be so painful for his loved ones to view. Kids are getting so dangerous. R.I.P

what the hell is wrong with these people??? makes me sick!!

Sad as hell. Wtf is going on in the midwest!!

i agree with number one.. its sickening..

That’s so sad man….whatever happened to the days when ppl fought one on one with no weapons when the bell rung at three??? Kids are such punks these days thinking they hard…we gone see how hard they are in jail!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t even watch the whole video…that shit made my stomach hurt.

RIP Derrion Albert

I can’t even watch those animals fatally beat that boy. RIP

I’m saddened. My heart goes out to his family. May God rest his soul.

CHILDREN IN CHICAGO ARE DISRESPECTFUL, EVIL AND RUTHLESS. THEY HAVE NO REMORSE AND THEIR MENTALITY DOES NOT GO AS FAR AS THEIR NEIGHORHOODS! THEY ONLY LOVE STREETS AND HAVE STREET MENTALITY. THEY DON’T KNOW HOW 2 THINK NETHER DO THEY HAVE ANY GUIDANCE BECAUSE MOST OF THEIR MOTHERS HAD EM’ AT 12 AND 13! HELL OUR PARENTS LISTEN 2 THE SAME MUSIC AS US! YALL THINK THAT VIDEO IS SOMETHING IMAGINE GROWING/LIVING THERE! THE STREETS OF CHICAGO IS SO COMPLEX….IT’S WHAT I CALL AN EXPERIENCE!

This is sickening.

Not something to be displayed and watched. R.I.P to that poor boy.

WOW.

OMG that girls voice pisses me off so much “zoom in…get closer”… WATCHING A PERSON GET BEAT TO DEATH SHOULD BE A CRIME AS WELL!

This is horrible. Watching the blows that they were giving him while he was already down. And then watching as his friends have to lift him from the ground to take him away so that he won’t get hit again while yelling out his name and begging him to get up, and the way others just ran off and went to go look at the rest of the fight down the block. This is just heart breaking. My hand was covering my mouth the whole time watching this. My parents always told me, when a fight breaks out, don’t run to it, run from it, it’s always the ones that aren’t even involved to get hurt. May he RIP and my prayers go out to his real friends and his family.

Black people! WTF!!

This is too painful to watch, but I think it needs to be seen so that people (especially our youth) can understand that gang violence and riots, etc. hurt and rip apart families and opportunities. My heart goes out to the families of all involved. Not only one child’s life has been ruined, but so have the lives of the three young black men who committed the heinous crime.

omg….while watching this, i felt extremely sick to my stomach and my head started hurting really bad
i’m still in shock this happened right in the middle of the street and in broad daylight!
these kids need some form of guidance and the person who recorded this is INSANE
what he/she should have done was STOP recording and get some help wtf
at least the delusional people who took an innocent life away are being dealt with severely.
nowhere’s safe these days.
R.I.P Derrion. another innocent and YOUNG life wasted. so sad

I won’t watch it but I will say God be with his family.

Damn shame, killing your own people! R.I.P.

I’m a black man, and what you just saw there was the definition of nigger as it was meant. Low Down dirty people, scum of the earth. It is such a shame that black people continue to blame white people for their problems, when they get in the way of themselves.

It is a travesty, and I for one can no longer sit back and watch this happen, I have to do something about, we as black people owe to the next generation that they don’t have to live with this crap.

@ #2,PROBABLY
i remember i used 2 get picked on because i like 2 READ,COMB MY HAIR,HAVE CLEAN CLOTHES,SPOKE PROPERLY (SMH)
anyway,i cant bring myself 2 watch the video.
this is sad.

@ #18
I completly agree. Who ever taped that should be pnished as well. It’s like it was entertainment for them. How could you sit there and watch that and NOT do anything to help that boy?? I just don’t get it, and I never will. I wasn’t raised how these kids were so I will never understand the “fun” in watchiang someone get beat. Weather or not the person dies, I could just never watch it. I hope all of the kids involved go to a max security proison for the rest of their lives….. I should NEVER be able to see the light of day again.
And @ #5…. I kinda want Angel to take the video down as well. It’s very disturbing. Even if you don’t play the video just looking at the still, you can imagine what’s about to happen.
I will be giving my son extra hugs and kisses tonight.

makes me wanna holler!!!

i cried watching that video. i just don’t understand where did the world went wrong?

Sorry, my first comment was @ #19

Out of respect for the young boy that lost his life, I believe the video should be taken down. what purpose does it really serve?

Yes this is complete chaos. I actually went to Fenger H.S. class of 2006. Its on the southside of Chicago. And I used to live not to far away from where the incident occurred…. I don’t know what going on with high schoolers this days but they have no direction at all.

This is why people need to carry guns, because if the next man knew that the other man had a gun, people would be more civil with others, and less likely to be offensive towards each other.

I will be in prayer for our youth. I might even need to fast for this. If you are a Christian you might consider this too. Go to the Lord in prayer and supplication for the future of our youth. This could’ve been my son, your brother, your boyfriend, your best friend. God, please hear our prayers.

RIP MAN……WTF

@Cali
I ask myself that question everyday….. All I can do is teach mines better than that.

it is honestly crazy in Chicago right now… i got shot at checkin the mail and i dont even have to leave the porch to do so .. RIP Derrion and i kinda wish Concreteloop would take the vid. down… its really sad

@Lookout15
Was the voilence that bad when you went there?

#1 (MEME). An event like this shouldn’t make you embarrassed to be who you are. This wasn’t a black or white situation, just pent-up adolescent aggression. I went to a high school in a middle class neighborhood with events such as this, albeit with no fatalities. I pray for the families involved, now they will suffer the most.

dis is so wrong. this is why stereotypes are created because people choose to act so uneducated.

this is so sad. the poor kid was trying to be someone like someday and these other uneducated kids go and stop his dream

Hearing about this makes me want to drop my son off and pick him up from school until he goes to College…..

Omg! My prayers go out to his family. This is absolutely absurd! God bless those demonic souls that did this.

I vote that we allow the community to fight back. Legalize weapons and enable us to defend ourselves. Gang members of this nature should be punished as close to death as possible. Even God plans to wage war against evil, so should His people

What has this world come to? A teen gets BEATEN TO DEATH because he refused to participate in some senseless act of violence??? (I know it says he was just a bystander but I’ve heard diff on the news). Why all the hate and anger? What do you get out of BEATEN someone to death death death death??? NOTHING absolutley NOTHING! Violence causes more violence it DOES NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. Not a DAMN thing.

Agree completely with #31. I cant and wont watch this video, and it certainly should not be posted out of respect for him and his loved ones.

[...] that a 16-year-old honors student had been beaten to death saddened me, but seeing it made me livid. It’s a good thing the Day of Atonement is upon us because I have some serious [...]

If enough outcry happens hopefully it will be on CNN if it is not already not just local that is the power of blogs and youtube and thank u ANGEL for not just posting celebs and posing this - AND THEY WILL GO FED and go into neighborhoods and TRY to do something about this ..starting with this southside of chi ..I am so sorry and sickened to see this that poor boy it’s disguisting rest in peace sweet boy

I’m so freakin disgusted that I almost throw up when I seen the video…. This poor baby lost his life because of some enraged & ill-raised children decided that violence is the key… RIP Derrion Albert & to the hundreds of Derrion Alberts we lose everyday , year round…
come on guys please stop the violence…we’re killing ourselves….

It definetly looked like rival gangs in black t-shirts and khahi pants. National Geographic has been broadcasting more shows…glorifying prison and gang violence. Do these shows help or hurt. Rage can be stored up until it erupts into destruction. Why did that young man return to the victim while he laid unconscious on the ground and clob him with the plank. Rage!!!

While this murder was happening, Obama is planning to travel to Denmark to make the case for having his hometown of Chicago host the 2016 Olympics. The same Chicago, where one writer said “…mothers give birth at age 12, and they listen to the same music as the children”. Los Angeles is just as bad.

There was so much confussion, I couldn’t tell who the innocent “bystanders” were. What makes us want to standby? What makes us want to take amateur videos? Its easy to get caught up in the frenzy!

my body cringed watching this… when they hit the child in his head… omg!!!…. absolutely ridiculous… i am in tears and literally shaking!!! how cruel and evil and cold hearted do you have to be to hurt someone like this?!?!? whether this child was on his way to becoming the next big thing or whether he was some bum on the street gives NO human being the right to take someone else’s life in their hands to this degree!!!… those boys that did this to derrion will answer to God one day… they are despicable… a waste of space… KEEP THEIR ASSES IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!!!…LET THEM WATCH THIS VIDEO OVER….AND OVER….AND OVER…..AND OVER AGAIN FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT THEY DID!!!…. those lil bastards deserve EVERYTHING they get in jail!!! good riddins….. *spit*….

I understand the reasoning as to why this video has been posted, but I feel as though it should be taken down. Clearly this is an unfortunate event and it shows that we still have a very long way to go as individuals. This video has really saddened me because this was a young man who had so much promise and had to lose his life over something very stupid. I am sure that there will be someone who will say “you don’t know the situation to say it was stupid” but anytime that there is an incident where a young person has to lose his or her life usually results in a stupid reason behind it. I pray for the families involved in this matter, both the victim’s as well as the suspects involved, because not only was one life lost, but many others were lost as well. To all young people reading this, please know that we live in a world that is filled with hate and things that are not the way of God and we have to steer clear of anything that is not Christ like or that may cause us harm. Stay in school, surround yourself with positive role modles, PRAY, and if you’re ever put in a situation such as this, get away from it as best as you can. RIP young brother and I can only pray that you’ve gone on to a far better place than this earth.

P.S. Please remove this video as it only rehashes the hurt and pain involved in this terrible incident.

WTF? I am so disgusted so damn disgusted and very very angry…

My deepest condolences to Derrion’s family.

i didnt see the video but im glad they took it down

Honestly, I would put the video back up. People need to see the harsh reality of what’s going on in our streets to wake the F up.

That is why they call us NIGGAS!!!! That is why our race continues to fail. That right there is the problem. Us successful, educated black people are continually overshadowed by NIGGAS!!!! We lost yet another young black boy (honor student) that would have more than likely grown up into a “black man” that would at least have to the little diginity our race has left through his academic success. When will you young NIGGAs wake up? When? We black people are tired of talking to you. You’ve heard this enough.

I’m proud of my black women. You seem to have gotten the “wake up” memo far before us men. Never have I been more angry at us until what I just saw today. It is a shame

I’m from Chicago and I tell you from 26 years of experience. “Be careful when you walk these streets”

It saddens me deeply that this young boy was killed, brutally beaten by other young boys. Please lord I ask you to deliver us from this evil that is plauging our streets, getting inside the minds of our youth and entering our homes. Honestly everyday watching the news here in Chicago is heartbreaking. It’s so much violence on the streets of Chicago that it’s stifilng! That i dont even think that there are enough Police Officers readily avialable to patrol all the areas. It makes me want to grab hold of my 2yr old, run away and hide. When i was coming up it wasn’t this bad…it wasn’t! At least we respected our elders, carried ourselves with more respect than the kids do today. You’ll be afraid to look at the youth wrong in this day in age let alone say something to them! The bout pull out a pistol and blow your damn head off! I can recall last year a young 16 or 17yr old girl got shot in the face on the bus.. ON THE BUS! Like dam the bus aint even safe. We’ve got be more than careful these days foreal and it’s sad b/c it’s our babies. 1 problem as I see it though as being a native of Chicago is that the “Southside” is too big! It’s everywhere! Spreads from 22nd to 95th going North to south and spreads as far as Ashland all the way East past Jeffery! It’s like a big ass sespool of violence!..like the only way to escape it is to either try to move up north and go BROKE..or move out of the CHI…not sounding like a bad idea right now…seriously.

R.I.P.

I agree with #19 Watching someone get killed should be a crime too!!!! I’m 100% sure if it was their brother or sister they wouldn’t be video taping it saying zoom in zoom in. STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!

I GOTTA ADMIT I USED TO LOVE WATCHIN A FIGHT, BUT NEVER TO THE POINT OF DEATH. AND THEY WONDER WHY FOLKS CARRY GUNS? THESE LIL TEENAGE BOYS ARE OUT OF CONTROL I TELL YA! I WAS ROBBED WALKING TO MY CAR AT GUNPOINT BY A MINOR WHO TRIED TO KILL ME. BOY WAS HE IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING! MY THOUGHTS AND LOVE GO OUT TO DERRION’S FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SOMEBODY OUGHT TA BEAT THOSE KILLERS ASSES LIKE THEY BEAT THAT BOY!

i agree with most people that this video is evidence that our streets need a clean up…. HOWEVER, gang violence is EVERYWHERE. im from chicago & not ALL chicagoans behave in this manner. i now live in los angeles & the gangs here are just as bad. a baby was shot in his head this past weekend due to gang violence… so its not JUST chicago. lets look at the bigger picture and realize that gang violence of any type, anywhere needs to be diminished.

I am not surprised just hurt at the FACT that this behavior is something that will continuously PERSIST if people choose to ignore the fact that those kids are brought up to react that way. I feel soo sorry for that young man but I know he is now somewhere in peace and that situation is something he doesnt have to live with.

Now @ #1…dont ever be ashamed of the color of your SKINtone. Just because ANOTHER of the same skintone and background of yourself does something stupid does not mean in any shape or form that that person is representing who you are. Please note that this type of violence does not persist only within the BLACK community, if you do your research you will notice VIOLENCE AMONGST young to old ppl of the same race happens within EVERY CULTURE AND EVERY COUNTRY. Black are more KNOWN for it because this COUNTRY chooses to recognize BLACKS negativities rather our positives.

The best way to eliminate situations like this isnt going out to your nearest gun store to buy a GUN just to elevate violence, violence against violence is not a solution but simply a terrible WAR that will forever continue. The best way to defend yourself is to LET GOD be your defense. No man made weapon in this world will protect you from any negatives or violence. You best defense is to be FEARLESS IN GOD and with that persona and defense in GOD you are merely invincible to all enemies inclduing weapons. Trust in GOD, and continue to PRAY for all.

The family of the victim is so brave for allowing the video to be released. People NEED to watch this. Young people are so desensitized, we live in a culture that glorifies violence. Images like this SHOULD make you sick, they SHOULD make you angry. No longer should we take a blind eye to these acts.

I live in Chicago as well. I lived on the north and west sides of the cty. There is always certain areas on the north, south, east, and west side that you don’t venture into because of ingorance like this. Its sad what happened to this young man with so much promise and with so much to offer the world. It looks like most of the kids were wearing the school’s uniform shirts - somehow they mistook him for one of the kids in involved in the gang fight or they were just being malicious and just beating other people for no apparent reason. The people videotaping this could have been calling the people, while the camera was rolling and the people driving thrpugh honking they’re horns could’ve called the police as well. This is just sad. This is one of the example of why large to small businesses will NOT open in certain neighborhoods because they’re looking at demographic to determine where the high crimes area are & those are the area they avoid opening up their business.

*In tears for him to having to go that way* May he R.I.P and that goes out to all victims of any violence. This world will never change as long as evil exist, but through God we can find some form of peace and knowledge within knowing this type of world want last for long.

THE VIDEO NEEDS TO BE PUT BACK UP!!!

people need to see this video angel!!!… they HAVE to!!!… they need to see what the hell is going on…..what we’re doing to each other….. they need to watch it….feel it…. they HAVE to!!!

THIS BULL **** NEEDS TO STOP!!!

I am outraged at the random acts of violence that our children are inflicting on one another.

I am so hurt that a fine young man such as this with an amazingly bright future could be caught up and murdered by young men with misguided ideals about life.

I am sad, and I am praying for the family of this young man, who will be missed by his family in ways we can not imagine.

I am asking why did this happen?

Why are the fathers leaving their sons to become killers because they don’t see a way out?

When are the fathers going to collectively come back into the home?

Why don’t these men care about these boys?

How could these men think that these children were just a seed that needed no love, no guidance, no support, no gifts, nothing…

My heart is crying out for all the children who continue to be caught up in the wrong place violence. I’m hurt because this could have been my son. I’m hurt because this young man can no longer dream dreams. I’m hurt…

RIP Derrion Albert

@63 I tottally agree, from movies to tv VIOLENCE is what ppl crave for….so sad…but when reality hits you in the face thats when ppl wanna wake up but only for so long were back to watchin movies and shows that are glorifyin violence. Reality tv shows crave that as well….the drama and altercations are what ppl mainly look for when there watchin such shows.

this just breaks my heart.

I could not watch that. Who can? To say the youth of today is lost is an understatement. These are suppose to be our future leaders. This is beyond horrid!

It’s the CHILDREN that our killing our children!

are killing our children….sorry for the typo but you all know what I mean.

I live in Chicago. Two of my younger cousins go to the school and I have several other family member that went there. It is beyond sad. The violence in Chicago in regards to youth is CRAZY! You guys have no idea. I haven’t and will not watch the video and I too vote that it should be taken down. To recognize the violence is one thing to post this sickness is another.

One thing though, Mayer Daley is way more concerned with winning the Olympic bid than protecting out youth. But even more than that… the parents are sad. They don’t parent their children and are afraid of them at this point. This childs death is proof of what the children here are capable of.

You know, sometimes I awake in the morninig, watching CNN, BET, or listening to The Steve Harvey and Michael Baisden morning show and I hear a name like Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, and Oprah Winfrey, and the good they have done, it makes me so proud to be an African American ….so proud. Now I ask you, ……….. after watching this video footage….How should I feel tommorrow morning?
WE HAVE GOT TO KNOW BETTER AND DO BETTER……….PLease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All those babies are purely victims of poverty, and the vicious cycle that will continue to raise our babies like that. TRULY sad but undoubtly true. The government can careless the system and so forth. Its us as a people and community that have to profoundly start givin these babies recognition. Because those babies feel thats the only way to be recoginzed or to recieve some form of power through violence…if theyre not recieivin love care or affection violence and destruction becomes there outlets towards that. Everyone commits sins so we cant throw stones, please dont do that. We need to offer forgiveness love and care and most certainly help..until then face what reality has for us.

this **** saddens me because it hits close to home. being from chicago i look back at the city like where has the pride and safety gone. i currently live in ATL and at least one story a day on the news down here is violence back in chicago. Chicago, the best city IMO, who has a chance to host the olympics may lose out on the bid because of foolish acts of violence like this. i know about the violence at fenger and pray for the family and those involved with this matter!!

@73..just realize with the good theres the bad. MLK, Malcolm X, Angela Davis, Obama and so forth had to experience some form of drama trauma and pain before they became whom they are recoginized for today. How esle can you relate to those around you that went trhough the fire or still going through the fire if you never experienece what its like?? How can you relate, how can you help??? Jesus himself went through the pain and in sheddin blood for us to know he too, even though he lived a perfect life had to experience some form of pain to relate back to what he knew we would have to eventually go through today. But also note, wheres he now..sittin on the right throne of God, ABOVE… Were we will be as well if we never give up on God or hope.

The video made me sick to my stomach. RIP

This is just really sad. This is the reality we face living in Chicago daily , this just happened to be caught on video. We have to do something as a society and culture of African Americans. My prayers go out to his family. LORD have mercy on them boys who beat him

I never understood, in grade school, why watching a fight was so intriguing to some people(most, actually). And especially recording it at that. Like wtf? And this isn’t just blacks who do this, it’s kids of every race. STOP THE BULLYING! hundreds of teens commit suicided every year. It’s so sad! Accept and love one another.

R.I.P to this 16 year old. Feel so sad for his family.

I wish I could put this is big bold letters.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE CLASS OF NOT SHOWING THAT HORRIBLE VIDEO.

Behaviour like this sickens me- we should be sticking together and giving each other a helping hand, not killing each other off. I actually wanted to cry for him when I saw the video. I can’t even imagine how his family must be feeling.

oops i meant, suicide*

wow he was an honor student too? It’s kinda ironic how the smart one is dead and these useless bastards(excuse me for my language) who probably fail every class, smoke week, do drugs, etc are still alive. crazy.

:cry:

Where are the parents?

If more parents (mother and father) were involved in their children’s lives some of the violence that goes on could be prevented. Know what your children are doing before school, during school, and after school. Be involved in your child’s life and future. RIP

Too sad. RIP Derrion. Condolenscences to his family and friends.. I ddnt watch the video, I can only imagine.
It’s a daily struggle in a lot inner cities around the world with the youth of today. And unfortunately, the senseless, mindless actions of a few overshadows the good that a lot of youths accomplish and demonises ALL children as a result. For the best part of a year, there were daily reports of stabbings and shooting in inner cities in Ldn, Manny , Bolton, Nottingham etc for some unimportant reason or no reason at all and a lot of those close to the gangs are so desensitised by it it’s scary. No fear of the police, jail ( cos chances are nothing much will happen) . The bystander culture is really worrying as well, Of course you shouldn’t attempt to be a have a go hero but turning a blind eye to me makes you complicit in a way. Things need to be done at the earliest level with cohesion between different instituions ( schools, social services, the police, local & national government and mainly the family) although I do genuinely believe that some kids are really lost causes and beyond help so their ass beleongs in prison. The judiciary system in this country needs major reform cos it’s ri-damn- diculous

As a person that lives in chicago I am not at all suprised at this. This has been goin on for a while now and black people as a whole should be ashamed that we are viewed this way. I coluldnt even bring myself to look at that video WILL be punished

Omg…Words can not express how sad and sick I feel after watching this! I don’t understand whats wrong with kids these days, Im only 24 and I grew up in Minneapols aka Murderapolis in the 90’s and I’ve never seen anything so heartless and brutal in my life. My thoughts and Prayers go out to his family. Something needs to seriously change our youth need to stop dying so young!

MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY

My heart aches this is why I moved away from the madness..My kids were mad but now they love watching Ducks swim across the pond in No where ville.

My prayers in heart go out to the mother the family. Please dont lose your faith. Your precious child is in a far better place. I know you had plans for him but God has a better plan. Ok with that being said people I keep watching this it hurts my heart my soul my being as a human. How could you I keep trying to zoom in on what makes a human do what all those children were doing in watching what was going on. Where is all this evil in meaness just plan old not caring about another human life coming from. Parents we need help we are losing these children. I think maybe the ones that want to act like animals once they are drifting away fron school parents need to start turning there own kids in if they can see that they are heading down the wrong path. We need to take those monsters send them to third world countries let them eat dirt in fen for themselves bring those from the third world country over here in give them a chance to try in live the america dream because clearly we have a bunch of heartless human beings here in america. No one help that baby thats sad for america in shame on black america. We need to step up people in call a spade a spade we are losing. We need to own that. We need to have a super round table in thw WHITE HOUSE with President Obama we need a plan take back our homes our neighborhoods or streets take charge of these kids come on people we have to get it together stop looking the other way its at our front door in our homes please people no more own it. GOD BLESS US ALL

Why did you all even have the audacity to post the video CL? As if reporting the story wasn’t enough?!?!? SMGDH…

never be embarassed to be black..if anything now is the time that you try to understand what is going wrong in order to help those who obviosly cannot help themselves (excuse the misspellings)

that video made me cry. i’ve never cried so hard!

So sad. RIP.

This is the same exact energy that the youth can use towards the Revolution that needs to happen..

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE MAD AT CL FOR POSTING THIS STORY..I UNDERSTAND THE ARGUMENT AGAINST POSTING THE VIDEO, BUT ISNT THIS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD KNOW?
WHY ARE PEOPLE SAYING THAT THEY WANT “GOOD NEWS”? THAT’S A REASON TO SMH! WHAT? YOU WANNA FUCKING READ ABOUT RIHANNA AND BEYONE AND JAY Z ..TALK ABOUT THEM? YOU FUCKING PARASITES…
THIS IS WHY THIS CONTINUES. EVERYONE LIKES TO LIKES TO LIVE IN AN IGNORANT OBLIVION!
NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR THE TRUTH..THIS IS REAL AND IT HAPPENED NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT. BUT WE CAN CHANGE THAT!

You guys have to understand that this video will hopefully help us to stop this shit. I read that Derrion Albert’s family wanted it to be publicized? Nonetheless, this is happening in our backyards, we need to stop ignoring it.

Rest in peace Derrion Albert, this is terrible and I’m so sick of things like this happening. And I’m so sorry, your life should not have ended in this way.

To Derrion’s family, may you all somehow recover and may this tragic happening change our ways.

THATS HOW IT IS IN THE MIDWEST WE DONT PLAY SO I ADVISE U NON MIDWESTERNS NOT TO COME UP HERE …. R.I.P DERRION ALBERT

I’m trying to put the pieces to this hard puzzle together. This boy never hurt a soul and yet he’s the one that suffered from this tragedy? That makes NO SENSE! RIP Derrion!!!!!

sad day….where is al sharpton and every other leader who will march for every other cause but when its us acting a fool against us, i never see them. this is why people like bill cosby say the things he said a few years ago. we can blame mr white man all day but looking at that video, how many white men you see running around with boards attacking people? is the system jacked up yes, we all know this but this is a sad day when we in the streets acting this way and for another black male to lose his life for nonsense. i had a white man ask me a while ago “what happened to you all (blacks) you used to have so much pride and morals and values, what happened? grant it i defended my race by saying all black men arent in jail and etc…but how did he even get to the point to notice that something changed with us. people thru bill cosby under the bus for saying the same thing your grandmother and mine would say about youth of today. we have to wake up and stop blaming mess on white folks. its hard enough having them against us but when its us vs. us, we will forever be in the hole…thoughts???????

Those involved should get the death penalty. I do not want to pay for them to remain alive through my taxes, knowing that they’ll be of no good use to society.

Plus, the message needs to be clear.

i’m so sad to hear this happened!

THE PEOPLE INVOLVED NEED TO GET THE DEATH PENALTY. THIS IS NOT DIFFICULT. You have the video, and these guys will most likely plead guilty. Prosecutors will not have to bargain with the defendants due to the video taped evidence, so give them the death penalty and lets be done with this.

@97, thats the best you could say? i mean really…”THATS HOW IT IS IN THE MIDWEST WE DONT PLAY SO I ADVISE U NON MIDWESTERNS NOT TO COME UP HERE”

YEAH. FOR FUCKING REAL?…@ 97 PLEASE GIMMIE A BREAK!

hell yea like i said @103 and @104 stupid ass

i agree with @97 socincinnati

midwest baby …… yurrrrrrr

o my goodness why. even though i feel for him & his fam i think he should have been well out of the way. you see a big fight going on or something is about to go down why would you even walk near it? idk that’s just me but this is sad ..

shut up socincinatti you are a true coon and your ignorance does nothing but makes us sick. go get shot or something.

I can’t watch it, I’m sorry, just too much! This makes me so upset, I can’t take it.

So Sad! I pray that God stays with his family and may he R.I.P.

@Jen

It is never okay to tell someone to go get shot. You are being just as immature, negative, and ignorant as he is. Is that not evil to you? Goodness gracious..stay in Church my darling.

This poor child probably woke up that morning not knowing that he was going to get beaten to death. I think all the people that were involved need to be beaten to death so they can go and burn in hell. My thoughts go out to this child’s family. A mother finding out that her son is dead is not something to swallow.

CL I applaud you for removing the tape.

We are living in a world where people have no regard for human life. And prison doesn’t scare people anymore, just a place they can go and continue to live and complain. Its sad the way society is, and no one is willing to help anyone anymore, but I guess they fear for their own lives. And someone posted blame the parents, but parents can do all they can to raise their kids the right way, and they can still go astray, so in most cases its not on the parent. We need to get a better legal system, and stop letting people sit on death row for so long.

I’m truly disturbed by what I saw on the video to say the least. This young, innocent teenager was beaten to death for nothing. An honor student that was quiet and definitely not involved in a gang had to die of foolishness. Now, that they have the three guys who beat him in custody, I hope they beat them like they did to Derrion and bury them under the prison.

my sister live somewhere close to this school and i dont want my neices and nephews to really even be outside when dumb asses like them kids in the video are out with them (my neices and nephew)

the person who filmed it is just as stupid as the guys fighting he seeing someone getting killed and he just video taping it like its just two kids fighting. the only good that came out the video was that the police sees some of the people who were invovled

its ashamed them kids dont have enough sense to stay out of trouble and they 16-18 im 13 and no better than this .

Wow!!! i thought evilness only perpetrated only the hearts and spirits of the youths in london and not nowhere else until this story came up. This is absolutely sadingly shocking. I mean yes i will blame the parents, such a shame. RIP

This was a post I found on the internet last year. It is highly applicable today, particularly to this incident because it is at the root…

“MEN WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BOYS!! THEY WILL NOT RUN THE STREET IF WE ARE THERE TO LOVE AND NUTURE THEM. WE ALSO HAVE TO BE THERE TO PUT A FOOT IN THERE A$$ IF THEY GET OUTTA LINE. THAT IS THE PROBLEM, NO DADS AT HOME. SO LADIES, STOP HAVING BABIES WITH LOW LIFES. QUIT GIVING YOUR BODY TO LOW LIFES JUST BECAUSE YOUR HORNY. YOU HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR BOYS TO. QUIT SPOILING GROWN A$$ MEN LIKE BABIES. WHETHER IT’S YOUR SON OR YOUR MAN. AN IMMATURE MAN IS DANGEROUS, LOOK AT ALL THE BROTHAS IN PRISON. THE LAST PLACE A MATURE MAN WANTS TO BE IS IN PRISON AROUND A BUNCH OF FUNKY A$$ MEN. YES RACISM IS A PROBLEM. ALSO I REALIZE THE POWERS AT BE WANT TO ELIMINATE THE BLACK MAN. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE CAN’T TAKE CARE OF OUR BOYS. ALL MEN THAT DON’T PLAN ON TAKING CARE OF THERE CHILDREN SHOULD BE LINED UP AND SHOT. RUBBERS ARE FREE IN SOME CASES, SO THERE IS NO EXCUSE. “

This poor dude was killed by one man. The bastard with the plank who struck him twice while he was on the ground…those two blows were extremely fatal.

R.I.P Son

this is just so sad. my heart goes out to his family in prayer and empathy. this isnt right.

I tried to watch it on CNN but I couldn’t get past the first 3 (not 5) seconds of it! What the hell are these fools thinking about!? I kind of hate to say this but I wouldn’t be mad at all if the cops took a detour on the way to taking them to jail.

THAT iS MESSED UP..I’M 16 AND IT’S CRAZY HOW ALL OF US YOUNG TEENS ARE DYING 2 DAY..WE CANT LOOK AT SOMEBODY WRONG WAY WITHOUT GETTING ATTACKED OR KILLED FOR IT..THE SOCIETY AND THE WORLD IS SO MESSED UP TODAY..THE STATE DONT KNO WHO TO BLAME.BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS I FEEL REAL BAD FOR HIS FAMILY..AND I KEEP THEM CLOSE TO MY HEART IN PRAYER. BECAUSE DONT NO MOTHER OR FATHER DESERVES TO LOSE THEIR CHILD.

This make me sad may he rest in peace. Po baby did not deserve this,

I am from chicago and they say detroit and st. louis is the murder capital, but I’m here to tell you that chicago is the biggest murder capital of them all and I think it should be demolished if you ask me. We are having funerals back to back. Everyday you have to pull over to the side of the street or stop for another funeral passing buy. The police is crooked and some of the parents are crooked. A lot of parents dont care if their children stay out until 7am in the morning dealing drugs or robbing, as long as they bring home the money. Some of the parents will defend their children when they know that they are stone cold murderers. There is a church on almost every corner and a liqour store right next door. Its sad and I am very angry with this disfunctional city. I know that everyoine is not bad but you can count the ones that are not on one hand probably. Its all about violence here and most of the children are taught from toddlers to kill or be killed. There is always a parent who says” if someone looks like they will hit you then pick up something and knock their ass out, and I got your back and if the mama got something to say then I will beat that hoe down to.” This is the mentality of the some of the parents in chicago. Wrong guidance and council if you ask me. I went to elementary school and highschool here and I had to fight my way out only by self defense. You can be the quietest student and they still dont care. They will follow you home from school if you look like you dont want to fight. At the end of the day you will fight and hope that the parents are not one of the ones thats walking with their children instigating. This makes me so sick to my stomach everytime I see something like this. I cry for the innocent. You can live here and make it but you will encounter some type of problem with ignorant people at some point. You cant even go to the store without someone mean mugging you and if you think to look like you have a problem with it then there is trouble for the girls as well as the guys. The females fight like men and are in just as many gangs as the boys. Just because youre from the ghetto does not mean you have to act like it. There have been many successful people that made it here but only by the grace of God. Violence like this happens almost everyday rather its the westside, southside, eastside or northside, it happens and anyone from chicago can agree. We as a people need to change quickly because we are dying like flies.

This is sad people

It’s a sad story, but aleast someone sent the tape to the police

WAITING FOR MODERATION? YEAH OKAY CL..BUT YOU POSTED SOCCIANTO OR WHATEVER ITS NAME IS POST 3 TIMES…KICK ROCKS!

I watched this video and I could not believe my eyes. My heart hurt for the young man and his family. He was a son, brother, and a friend. I grew up not having my mother around and my dad on drugs. I did not grow up with the latest fashions. Kicked out the foster system when I turned 18. Grew up in what many would call the projects. This did not make me want to go out and steal or hurt anyone. They are fighting for what, a street corner that will never be belong to them. I remember hearing on the radio about a letter from KKK about how they just laugh at the way our race is killing each other. There comes a time in life when you know right from wrong. You can’t blame rap music or hip hop videos. These cowards knew what they were doing was wrong. This makes me so sick……..

this is just too sad, i don’t even know what to say right now.

The reason why this society does not have the death penalty has nothing to do with leniency or compassion for human life. It is to feed the white man’s prison industrial complex, which is interconnected with all his other systems. Once in the prison system, that entity becomes a commodity, and essentially a slave, which is why he is relegated to a number. It’s more lucrative to keep the black man barely alive, which is why this society is inundated with anti-black male propaganda, and is why the black male is given so few opportunities. Mind you, we are in captivity, so the white man is supposed to do these things. In rulership, why would one give their enemy the opportunity to attain power and potentially overthrow him? It wouldn’t make sense. That’s how one knows that the “civil rights movement” was a facade and a smokescreen, but that’s another topic. The point is to steer the black man towards negativity, and hopefully prison, so that he can resume his role as slave. There is a serious issue when the same mentality that previous generations of blacks had is naturally imbued in children. That should show the attentive observer that this is a spiritual issue.

@MYTHOUGHTS

The root of the problem has little to do with that pro-black woman/anti-black male letter that you regurgitated. One can easily say that black men need to stop impregnating low-life black women that want to go back to being whores once the child is born. A child that may not even be the man’s that she claims it is. The issue is that black people have forsaken the laws of the Mos High, which is why the majority of these children are pure devils. As “Leon” said, these children in particular, and many of these children in general need to be put to death in public as an example to the rest, and the Bible tells us that (Deuteronomy 21:18-21, II Kings 2:23,24, Proverbs 30:11,17).

This has angered to the highest power. I live in chicago and I am sick and tired of seeing this *ish everyday. These fools out here trying to get the Olympics here but can not put an effort into stopping the mayhem taking over our city. You can not tell me nothing can’t be done, legal or illegal. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!!!!!

My heart and prayers go out to this family as well as anyone who were affected with this tragedy. I pray they seek comfort, guidance and strength from God.

I also prayer that everyone see or hear of this story and take note…we need start reaching out to others. There are a lot of people out there hurting, misguided and loss; they don’t what to do and have nowhere to turn. So they do whatever to survive. And even if that means doing wrong, following the crowd and going against what they know is not cool…it doesn’t matter to them because it all they know. This misfortune is a reality check for all of us.

We need to stop with this “eye for an eye” mentality and start showing concern for each other. You don’t have to be a parent or a relative to make a positive affect on someone else. We never know what people are going through and just a simple prayer, greeting or being an example in standing out and doing positive can help. We can do better than this. I wish someone would encourage those children, adults and community in that area.

This is so sad…Yet I’m so ANGRY!!! Why is this shit going on? What is wrong with my black people? Is this what our children have to grow up to? This is heart breaking… I pray for this boy’s family and friends. May God be with them…

I don’t live in the US, so this is not something I’m used to seeing. I feel like parents needs to save up enough money to move out of those neighborhoods by the time their children reach the age of 12.

I think you and I largely agree, but I have not indicated partiality toward black women. I castigate them as well in the statement “just because you are horny”. I think that statement is a strong statement to the morality of women who have unprotected sex with men because they submitted to their sexual impulses. Thinking with your crotch is half headed and the women who do so are being called out with that statement. So they are not left out. In fact, they are the gatekeepers, which is why the door must be closed there.

@ So Cinnattii I have Seen Thugs like you walk into Maximum Security where I have worked 15 years hard headed and ready to buck In about 5 flat your either someone’s B**tch, soft as kitten, A cell Warrior loosing your mind, A lost Soul with cell side Psych, or worse What ever the case may be you will break.. sooner or later. I have seen the Hardest Thug Admin Seg ” KILLER” cry like a fucking baby when those wall start closing in on him..

CL, removing the video was the most respectful thing you could have done. Thank you.

When I watched this video I began to cry… What in the hell is going on in this world???!!! My heart aches for this innocent boy’s family. What a terrible way to lose child… I hope the people responsible rot in jail and that maybe someone in jail beats their asses to death. I have no remorse for those young men and I could care less is what kind of pain they will be in. When you kill someone you don’t know, especially someone who is completely innocent, I really wish death upon you. I hope this young boy’s spirit is kept alive through his family and friends and that something good can come out of this. Stop black on black crime…Latinos you too! We are killing eachother while the white man sits back and observes how ignorant some people are. Rest in peace Derrion Albert… My heart goes out to your loved ones.

this is so ridiculous, i am 16 and in high school, and i see fights all the time, and see gang fights, but ive never seen anything so stupid, like non of that was remotly nessacary. beating someone to DEATH! like honestly wtf is goin on now adays

Rest in Peace young man!

Hint to the Wise, the END is HERE!

I SAW THE VIDEO AND IT ANGERS ME THAT NO ONE INTERVENED AND HELPED THE DUDE, ONLY WHEN THEY REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH HIM. THANK YOU CL FOR TAKING IT DOWN (UNLIKE SOME OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS)..EXTREMELY DISTURBING, R.I.P. DERRION..

I watched this and cried, thinkin, “what is wrog with people these days?” I just lost someone really close to me the same exact way. Why people behave this way I will never understand.

man!! this is sooo sad and F***ed up!!!! i cried as i saw the news and saw the video because my brother got beaten to death also and as i think about this boy and his family it really really hurts!! i dont understand how people can be soo heartless and do something like this its inhumane!! i feel for the family and my heart goes out to them. the part that really bothers me is that we say things will hopefullly change and people will learn from what happened but its just going to keep happening because people dont care and will never change

I can only imagine what his family is feeling. I pray that God gives them strength and comfort them thru this painful time in their lives. This act of evilness needs to come to a stop. No one should ever die by the hands of another man. Especially by another young person’s hands over a senseless situation. We need to pray for our children’s future and pray that these younger kids gets direction from the lord. We do not need to loose focus of GOD in our lives. He should be consistently in our lives everyday! May this child rest in peace and may the lord GOD continues to watch over all those that serves him!!!

[...] once read somewhere that “The Death of Violence is the Birth of Hope”. In light of the tragic death of 16 year-old Derrion Albert, here are a few organizations throughout the nation that you can check out to STOP THE VIOLENCE [...]

i seen video…sad aint the word…so many thoughts question run thru my head..
.how much of a p***y are ppl…r.i.p
wheres the love…teach ur children better
they have no feelings to do something like that

WHY? Everyone asks, why is this happening. why are so many children dying, why are so many innocent people being malled, shot down in the street or even in the privacy of their own homes, babies being killed all over everywhere that you havent heard or read about. All you have to do is read your Bible and you will see why all this is happening. satan is so busy in the lives of Our Brothers and Sisters. I am a widow of 5 and 6 grands. I am a child of God, I love the Lord with all my heart. It hearts my heart to see or hear about the death of a child . I want to grab them all and keep them safe, but thats not possible for me to do, but you can. Men and Woman, Mothers and Fathers, Grab hold to your babies be it girls, boys, nieces, nephews, all family and pray, pray, pray, pray.
Peace to you all

This is just sad……… first off the boy who got beat to death had a bright future ahead of him. His future was ruined because of a group of gangbangers who thought it was okay to beat somebody to death. What did he do to y’all??? That’s what I want to know. And why didn’t the person recording the fight drop the camera and help the boy????? He could’ve saved someone’s life! He could’ve been a hero! I’m 14 yrs old and I’ve seen people get jumped and beat up plenty of times; but not anything like this. This makes you realize that the world isn’t safe. You realize things happen to you that you never thought would happen. Now I see I have to watch my back everywhere I go because I never know what can happen when I’m not looking.
