MY REVIEW Raw Video of Derrion Albert 16 teen year old beaten to death in chicago sep 27 2009

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QE-2Wq9ZAU

Raw video:September 24/09.Chicago.This is the hard lesson some students at Fenger High School have to deal with after a day of learning. For them it's a hard lesson of reality on the streets.

Thursday after school, two rival gangs got into a fight three blocks from the high school.

In all four students were beaten in that melee -- one was released from the hospital Friday morning.

While p More..olice continue their investigation, some students say they don't want to go back to Fenger next week.

Rival gang members have been fighting for a month -- and each time one of their fellow classmates is injured.

No knives and no guns were used in Thursday's fight. Just fists, feet and boards.

Derrion Albert, 16, was struck in the head by one of those boards.

Seconds later the honor student hit the pavement. Thats when witnesses, who are other high school students, say gangbangers began stomping on and punching Albert.

Derrion Albert's mom said witnesses told her he was "trying to help another student and kind of got mixed in with the crowd of the fight and he was hit.

A senior who witnessed the whole thing says the melee lasted less than five minutes.

The video shows students and workers from a nearby community center rescue the boy -- but many out there knew it was too late.

Surveillance videos are mounted on businesses in the Roseland area, but Chicago Police say those don't show faces.

Police have a copy of this footage and it may help identify Albert's killers.

But while that investigation goes on, students say they will remember Derrion Albert as a good kid. A quiet, smart kid with no gang affiliation. But just a kid who may not have had enough street smarts to go another way.

no BLACK PEOPLE do not ruin everything i am a black man, a black person, and a black male. Now what you see in this video is a bunch of NIGGERS acting ignorant, the kid in the red hit derrion with the peace of wood for no fucking reason at all, and when he was down someone kicked him in the head, then he was lying there HELPLESS and asking for help but all they wanted to do was stomp and kill him with a peice of wood, is that not fucking ignorant?! i am tired of niggers giving my race a bad name

Actually, fuckstick, I have not yet received my degree from MIT in Boston where I am currently studying engineering. English is a 3rd language for me. I'm from India so my native tongue is Hindi. My mother is from Iran, so we also speak Persian at home. I studied English in school, but still occasionally make elementary errors. LMAO

hey.....are you that boy from india?.....lol

@slipknotcrazy100

except this was not violence for no reason at all. Derrion threw a punch before anyone ever touched him. What is a problem with this whole thing though, is that 2 police officers watched this whole thing happen and never got out of their car until after it was over.

It is so stupid!!! I just watched the video and the problem wasnt only with the people who beat this young man, but the people who always watched, cheered, geered, and video taped the incident were also sickening. I really dont care how the situation unfolded, but the primary example of how we as a commnity need to come together and do better. It is so sad that this young man has died over something that I am sure was so trivial.
