A Las Vegas high school is grappling with how a feud over stolen items escalated into a fatal beating. Several of Jonathan Lewis Jr.'s peers have been arrested.
Because this is the culture these days. Nobody can just eat some shit and move on anymore. Everything is escalatory all the time, because apparently people would rather literally die or kill than admit to even the smallest error. Or God forbid, demonstrate a modicum of grace. Huge numbers of Americans literally carry guns around so they’ll never have to take a single dent to their ego.
And this kind of goes both ways. I hate to be that guy, but when I grew up throwing down over some stupid shit meant you might get hit in the face or hit someone in the face. Absolutely nobody wanted it to go any farther than that. If you knocked someone down and kept going your own boys would pull you off.
