Original title: Brass knuckles, beatings, fear: Random attacks on teens loom over Preston Lord murder case
I can't even comprehend the level of sickness of society in this part of Arizona to have led to this and I bet the news is gonna be silent on this lynch mob club of rich white teenagers.
Police are not saying much about who beat 16-year-old Preston Lord and left his battered body on the side of a suburban street.
Students at high schools in Gilbert, Queen Creek and San Tan Valley say they know who killed him. Their parents say they know why: Lord's murder was tied to a gang of serial assaulters.
They say he was the latest victim in a string of vicious, blitz-style attacks by a group of affluent teenagers known as the "Gilbert Goons," who cow their targets into silence with threats and intimidation.
The "Goonies," as they sometimes call themselves, have for more than a year carried out random assaults on teenagers in mall parking lots, outside fast-food restaurants, at parks and at house parties, according to interviews, court and police records and social media posts.
What the literal fuck.
I guess shit like this is why people feel the need to carry a firearm around with them in Freedom Burgerland ™
Can't let the fash have all the guns.
