Sickening Las Vegas assault receiving little national media attention
The Las Vegas Police Department has launched an investigation into the tragic death of 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis, who was savagely beaten by a mob of teens right outside Sin City’s Rancho High School earlier this month.
Some of the attack was captured on video, showing several black teenagers kicking and stomping Lewis, and punching and chasing his friend.
JUST IN: Jonathan Lewis, a teenage boy who was beaten up by 15 students at a high school in Las Vegas, Nevada had died.
Throw them all in prison for life.
According to the boy’s father, the brutal beating happened after 17 year old Jonathan Lewis stood up for one of his… pic.twitter.com/PCrA7iMe9t

According to Lewis’ father, Jonathan was standing up for his smaller friend who had something stolen by the group of black teens when they decided to beat up both of the white teens.
“One of [Jonathan’s] smaller friends had something stolen by this group of 15 and they threw the small boy in the trash can and our son confronted them and he was attacked by them,” Lewis’ memorial stated.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal interviewed the father, who said, “A couple [of people] attacked him, and they weren’t able to hurt him enough, and they all attacked him at once.”
The father’s last text message to Jonathan read, “Love you son.”
The family set up a GoFundMe page, stating, “Our son is a kind, loving, gentle young man who has the heart of a champion and the brightest loving energy that attracts people to him with love! He’s an aspiring artist, devoted big brother, and a fierce protector of loved ones!”
The Las Vegas Police Department’s homicide unit is investigating the attack, but no arrests have been made.
Breanna Morello, host of The Breanna Morello Show, claimed on X she asked the DOJ’s Civil Rights department if they’d be launching a hate crime investigation into the incident.
“We are declining comment,” the DOJ answered.
I reached out to the DOJ’s Civil Rights department.
I asked them if they had any plans to launch a hate crimes investigation into the horrific murder of 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis.
The DOJ just replied to me.
“Thanks for reaching out to the Justice Department. We are declining… https://t.co/fotnPb1RnT

Internet users decried the attack and repeatedly pointed out the media’s hypocrisy regarding the story receiving little attention while it would have been a top news item if the races were reversed.
RIP Jonathan Lewis.
Guess why this story has not made national news.
If you believe that if this was 15 white students murdering a 15-year-old black kid it would not have made national news you are lying to yourself.
White people, you are in danger. https://t.co/kw50UzWdj6

A black kid was brutally beaten to death last week by a group of white teens.
Just kidding, Jonathan Lewis was a white kid and his killers were black.
Don’t expect to see this on CNN.pic.twitter.com/4GPfNITQHq

Jonathan Lewis was white. His attackers were black. Other than local media, the national media is avoiding this story.
Jonathan Lewis was trying to protect another smaller student initially, then 10+ others teamed up to attack Lewis, getting him on the ground and causing… pic.twitter.com/Dmqsd8ld4g

Where is the justice for Jonathan Lewis? If the races were reversed there would be wall-to-wall news coverage about this. https://t.co/szyyQp4gzF

This is Jonathan Lewis, he was killed at school when 15 black kids jumped him.
The media will only tell you this has nothing to do with race when the victim is white.
Rest in Peace, J. pic.twitter.com/UzPSvfnEMv

17-year-old Jonathan Lewis was beaten to death by a group of black kids in Las Vegas after standing up for his friend who they had just robbed and threw in a trash can.
Of course this story isn’t making national headlines because it doesn’t fit the medias narrative. pic.twitter.com/YL2lQjykmX

If a gang of 15 white kids jumped a lone black kid & beat him to death on camera, there’d be a tad more coverage than the murder of Jonathan Lewis is receiving.
