Jonathan Lewis’s last action was noble. The 17-year-old saw a smaller friend robbed and then attacked by a group of 15 people. They threw him into a trash can. Lewis tried to defend the boy, and they turned on him. They beat him to death.

Local news wrote a restrained article: “A teenage boy has died days after he was found severely beaten by more than a dozen people near a Las Vegas high school.” The attack was near Rancho High School. The school is over 93 percent non-white, mostly Hispanic, but in the video, all attackers appear to be black.

Newsweek said the story was about “bullying,” though it added that “authorities have not yet indicated that race was a factor in the killing.” Left-wing influencer Brian Krassenstein said the incident was “horrible” but called it a “fight” that had “no indication, that I am aware of, of having anything to do with race.” The Daily Mail published a story in which officials blamed “out of control” schools. It didn’t explain why the school is out of control. Police are still investigating and have made arrests.

The boy’s heartbroken father says, “I think there’s just a failure in all of humanity to recognize that we need to be teaching our youth how to coexist.” “Violence just begets more violence and these children don’t even know what they’re doing all the time.”

The family has set up a charity to explore the supposed causes of violence and encourage people to “choose love,” have “conflict and trauma resolution training,” and teach “love, healing, and unity.” A GoFundme has raised more than $55,000. It says that “we denounce violence as a means to resolve sociological conflict, we believe community members can coexist peacefully.” All we need now is the obligatory denial that this had anything to do with race.

The attackers seem to have thought it was funny to beat up some people. Saying anything else could cause more public outrage than the murder itself, so we shouldn’t expect too much from grieving parents.

One popular X account, “Raw Egg Nationalist,” suggested that parents in these cases may follow a “script.” The Department of Justice does have a “Community Relations Service” that “works with jurisdictions across the nation to mediate disputes, facilitate dialogue, and build local capacity through training and consultation.” It calls itself “America’s Peacemaker.” In a country of warring tribes, maybe there has to be a body like that to prevent low-scale civil war. Police killings of criminal blacks justify activism; blacks killing innocent whites has no political consequences.

Most parents are too mired in grief to begin a political crusade, let alone start questioning fundamental assumptions. Until white parents organize as whites, such crimes will continue, and perps will probably not face serious punishment.

The group murder of the young man was essentially a lynching. It was worse, because Lewis was not a criminal awaiting trial (unlike most lynching victims) but someone who appeared to be entirely innocent. According to the “Emmett Till Antilynching Act of 2022,” “Whoever conspires to commit any offense under paragraph (1), (2), or (3) shall, if death or serious bodily injury (as defined in section 2246 of this title) results from the offense, be imprisoned for not more than 30 years, fined in accordance with this title, or both.” If police found that the blacks in this case were partially motivated by race, they could face decades in prison. Presumably, the motivation for the crime is part of the police investigation. If you expect hate-crime prosecutions, you are kidding yourself. The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights department has reportedly refused comment.

“Hate crime” laws can be used only if politically powerful groups insist they be used. The main concern of those in power will be to settle this quickly, with few disturbances, especially from blacks.

X is full of people complaining about the double standard, pointing out that if the victim were black and the mob white, it would be the biggest story in the world. We don’t have to live this way, but that would mean radical change, and those who benefit from the system (or want to be thought of as having high status) will fight that. Black crime or black radicalism can — at least for a while — be bought off with more money for programs and welfare. From Malcolm X to Keith Ellison, so-called black nationalism ends with begging whitey for more handouts.

Nothing will change until white identity is taken for granted. Power surrenders only to power. If we continue to operate this way, we will keep getting what we have always gotten. We can’t “educate” our way out of this unless it’s to educate our own people finally to take their own side.

RIP.

    Isn’t that one of their slogans? Only in this case it’s actually true.

    We can’t “educate” our way out of this unless it’s to educate our own people finally to take their own side.

    Our own people? Who’s that?

    White, in this case, is a racial descriptor. It is not a word that describes an organized group capable of acting in its own interests. It’s not an empty category. But it’s only a valid category when it functions as a general racial descriptor.

    That’s not to say that Whites can’t become an organized group capable of acting in its own interests. But as the in-your-face indifference of the DOJ’s reaction makes clear, they approve of deadly violence against whites, even when, as in this case, they’re clearly innocent and obviously the victims of a hate crime, by the DOJ’s own definition.

    So what do you think they would do if whites the racial category, became whites the organized group capable of acting in its own interest?

    That’s a direct question to you Gregory. Perhaps you could write something in the way of an answer. If so, I look forward to reading it. I’m sure others would too.

    Yes indeed.

    They know from experience they’ll get away with it. The New York Times and all the TV networks and most of the internet will cheer the black boys on.

    It’s actually due to get worse because deplatformings are continuing and the number of sites that can afford to be “on our side” is growing smaller month by month.

    The anti-white regime still gets recruits for military and police duty. This would be amazing till you realize what a black hole job opportunities are for young men. White nationalists with money and businesses need a new Underground Railroad to save our youth from the jaws of ZOG. Get on with it, plutocrats — they need a hand and need one now.

    Completely different contexts and circumstances — the former happen under color of authority, and, if you accept the propaganda, are committed by representatives of an ‘institutionally racist’ system.

    To my knowledge, no one has been arrested or charged yet, so I don’t see the reluctance or refusal of federal authorities to comment as particularly significant — per the case of the two ‘teens’ who ran down and killed the white bicyclist, LV police seem fairly capable, and LV prosecutors are willing to send juveniles who commit serious crimes to adult court.

    As for the new lynching law (‘Whoever conspires …’), good luck proving a conspiracy — it appears to have been a spontaneous act.

    Regarding possible ‘hate’ charges, in the larger picture here’s something for every racially conscious white person to keep in mind:

    Scratch some Jews like Ben Shapiro the wrong way and out pops progeny of the Bolsheviks who tortured, starved, and massacred tens of millions in Russia and the Ukraine because they were white. They’re now doing the same to the Palestinians to the applause of Fox News and US Congress. But, as the Russian monk prophesied, the hatred Jews have for Russia pales in comparison with the hatred they have for America. The chief difference being the weapons available under the circumstances, and that despite owning Congress and the Pentagon like so many performing poodles in a circus.

    Open borders, with millions of American-hating military age men streaming across the border and forming military garrisons wherever they disappear into the heartland, even in states like Texas. Impossibly degenerate immoralism in movies, TV, publishing, media, and education undermining a culture’s ability to recognize and react to an enemy within. Occult immolation of thousands on 9/11. Occult alchemical transformation of troubled teens into beefy Manchurian Candidates like Audrey Hale. Who’s the driving force behind these evils destroying America?

    This is just a thought…
    Since “lynching” has been deemed illegal…
    If I had my way…
    Every one of the 15 black criminals would have their spines severed permanently in such a way to render them paraplegics or quadriplegics.
    Yes, us taxpayers would still be responsible for their “care” but imagine these 15 black criminals living out the rest of their long sorry lives from wheelchairs or hospital beds.
    THAT would be true retribution…
    As a punishment, death is far too kind for feral black scum like this.
    A “star chamber” could easily be formed to “make it happen”. You can bet that there are sympathetic police officers and other influential individuals who would either be willing to participate or “look the other way” while “true (real) justice” was being meted out.
    Once word got around that this was the “punishment” meted out (in absence of real punishment), feral blacks would be on their best behavior.
    If I was the young White man’s father, I would go “hunting”…not right away, but would bide my time and eventually “take care of business”…
    That being said…in a near future dystopian world, such actions would be deemed necessary, if only to preserve a “remnant” of what was once known as “civilization”. I hope id doesn’t come to that, but with the way things are going, with today’s unequal application of “justice”, who knows?

    Agreed, and this once again shows that the US’s problems are not mostly with immigrants (though that could change with actual open borders where hundreds of millions of Muslims and Sub-Saharan Africans, and not only their cognitive elites, will move en masse to the US) but rather with the bad apples among the US’s black descendants of slaves, of which there are unfortunately a lot of.

    ‘Void of humanity’: 8 teens arrested in ‘heinous’ beating death of Rancho teen, police say

    ‘A very heinous crime’

    Because most of the teens involved beating are Black, and Lewis was white, some commentary on social media has speculated that the crime had a racial element. Lewis Sr. on Monday condemned such racist commentary surrounding the incident.

    Asked if the beating was a hate crime, Johansson said there was no evidence to suggest that was case.

    “Right now I have no evidence at all that this is a hate crime,” Johansson said Tuesday. “It is a murder, which in my opinion is a very heinous crime in and of itself, but I do not have evidence of a hate crime.”

    Two constant features of these black on white crimes, however ‘heinous’ they are said to be, are 1) authorities will immediately declare ‘there was no evidence to suggest’ it was a ‘hate crime’ (I’m not a fan of ‘hate crime’ law, which I see as fundamentally aimed at white people, that’s how those laws are enforced), and 2) relatives of the victim will ‘condemn racist commentary’, oftentimes more strongly than they condemn the savages (‘void of humanity’) who committed the ‘heinous’ crime against their relative — and the media always heavily promotes both, especially the latter.

I can see myself sitting right here, in 1-2 years time, once everything is in flames, unironically mirthful at the violent deaths of sub-borderline retarded 70-IQ illiterate nigger children.

    >The main “conservative” outlets almost never mention black on White crime.

    I’m not at all a consumer of mainstream civic nationalist race flat earth ZOG (that string of adjectives about it covers it I think) ‘conservative’ media, but right now if you search for ‘Las Vegas’ on Fox you will see two stories about it, including this one:

    Las Vegas teens who beat 17-year-old student to death near high school facing murder charges

    Johannson described the video as “void of humanity” and said there was no evidence the incident could be considered a hate crime.

    It’s kind of funny in a sick ‘conservative’ way that the Fox story parrots the claim about there being no evidence of a ‘hate crime’, while at the same time mentioning absolutely nothing about the racial aspect of the incident — at least the local LV story mentions the victim was white and the suspects are non-white.

    I will be surprised at any outcome other than a plea down to voluntary manslaughter — also with the possible exception of the youngest suspect (13 y/o), I expect all of their cases to be handled in adult court.

    >they will be out by age 21

    I doubt it — all media reports feature the exceptional brutality of the crime — a wanton beating — no question this will affect how the case is handled.

    Those arrested so far are 13 – 17 y/o — per the recent example of the two who ran down and killed the older white bicyclist, the LV DA will almost certainly send them to adult court, with the possible exception of the very youngest ones (at least one is 13 y/o), where that may not be possible (some jurisdictions specify an age below which juveniles cannot be sent to adult court, no matter the offense), or not allowed by a judge.

    The relevant portion of the Nevada criminal code:

    CHAPTER 200 — CRIMES AGAINST THE PERSON

    For those sent to adult court, second degree murder seems the most appropriate and likely charge — if so, it’s then a question of whether there will be a trial — generally, prosecutors are almost always open to a plea deal, since a trial requires a lot of work and there is always risk of an acquittal — given the nature of this crime, there may be reluctance, especially if they think the evidence is strong enough to virtually guarantee conviction.

    Given the brutality and available video evidence, the defense will probably be interested in avoiding a trial, since a conviction for second degree murder will bring a long sentence (in NV, either life without parole, or 25 years with parole possible after 10) — so the defense may propose a guilty plea to voluntary manslaughter, which in NV is a lower class felony with a sentence of 1 – 10 years — an agreed sentence is usually part of a plea deal — here it would probably be the upper range.

    The intentions of commenter “eah” seem thoroughly laudable, but to point to statute law and place one’s trust in its enforcement by the morally bankrupt Jews, darkies, and brown-nosing white women who have become the prosecutorial face of the US judicial system is nowadays an exercise in futility and a fool’s errand.

    4 suspects in 17-year-old’s fatal beating appear in adult court

    Four other juveniles have been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis Jr. Because the other four teenagers are under the age of 16, they will need to go through a certification hearing in Family Court for a judge to determine if they will be tried as adults.

    The four Blacks and one mestizo sent to adult court so far have been identified — cops are still looking for two suspects — taxpayers will pay for private lawyers to defend most of them — exact charges remain to be decided — LVRJ still playing defense against the ‘hate’ angle — they even ask a junk academic of color (this one) to help out.

    What might Ben Shapiro permit us think about this racially motivated anti white murder?

    Good question.

    Whites as Whites have never had any institutional power or cultural control. Such control and power that has existed historically inevitably breaks down into identifiable culture groups, Greeks, Romans, Christians, Germans, Catholics, WASPS, etc.

    The reason, of course, is that though White is a valid racial descriptor, it is not a valid cultural category. Culturally speaking, White is a dysjunctive category, not a conjunctive category with common, easily identifiable features. That’s why, though European culture is certainly a valid category, The European Union has turned out to be an oxymoron.

    That Whites need organize as Whites is a contemporary phenomenon. It is not something that existed in the past, ever. That’s why to the extent it does exist today it is only as an idea and one shared by a very small group of people.

    It would take Whites a very long time indeed to move from general racial descriptor to unified cultural group capable of acting in its own interests, exactly because Whites, culturally speaking, is a dysjunctive category, neither organized or unified.

    That being the case, it is beyond suspicious that there should be so much symmetry of response among police, press, and the families of white victims of black crime.

    Not only sysmmetry, but sustained symmetry, as this has been going on for a long time now. It is obvious that it is not coming from Whites, or just from some Whites, but that it is being imposed, by force, top-down, and from an elite that is clearly and unapologetically hostile to the idea of White Survival in any other form than that of obedient slaves. Now who could that be?

    Leaving that question aside, the reason such symmetry is strongest when it comes to the crime of murder is because murder is the one thing, above all else, that could possibly accelerate the mobilization of Whites into an identifiable and formidable culture group capable of acting in its own interest. Namely, the interest of survival, and against a hostile elite. Everything else is spin. That is to say, bullshit.

    I am not saying this is a complete hoax, however, the Jewish aim is to create racial tension between blacks and whites. These reports only lead to total chaos. Granted, the young man attacked was probably viewed as “white boy.” In the past, this would upset me. Now, I view it as race hustling, race baiting. That is the goal of Zionist zealots to divide and conquer. The US will never be a European ethnostate every again. It is sad, but true. Those shown in the media seeking a European majority once again are mostly in the pockets of Jews as they are federal operatives. I do not wish the extinction of European descendants in America, but let’s face reality. The notion racial wars are preposterous.

    I was correct:

    Mother of Las Vegas teen allegedly killed by angry mob speaks out after plea deal: ‘There’s no justice’The proposed plea deal for the four teens charged would seal their criminal records in juvenile court

    The four teens arrested on charges related to the death of Jonathan Lewis late last year agreed to a plea deal, moving their case down to juvenile court.

    The teens, Damien Hernandez, 17, Dontral Beaver, 16, Gianni Robinson, 17, and Treavion Randolph, 16, pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter after originally facing murder charges.
