The Daily News (http://nydn.us/1srzOAV ) says 16-year-old Dayshen McKenzie died last week. The Staten Island teen had asthma and a heart condition.
A friend, 19-year-old Harry Smith, says their group and another group got into a dispute over a girl. He says the attackers came back in three cars and one displayed a gun.
Smith says the suspects used “a lot of racial slurs.”
A former police officer, Diane Fatigati, tried to revive the dying teen. She says two of the cars had Pennsylvania plates.
McKenzie’s mother, Tisha Richardson, says he was the kind of kid who’d ask for a hug.
What exactly is a mostly white group? Epis a schvartza or 2 in the mix?
So because he was black it has become a race issue (even though the blacks use “racial slurs” against themselves) despite it being obvious it was about something else entirely.
“police said there was no mention of any such tensions during the initial probe.”
While its sad that he died like this, and the perpetrators brought to justice, race should be nothing to do with it.
So if a mostly Muslim group is chasing after a jew and he does die of an asthma attack and anti-Semitic slurs were being yelled at him will it classify as just house play cause original argument was over a girl? I don’t think so.
