Two Louisiana teenagers have been charged with second-degree murder in an attack motivated by a competition between the two to see who could hit harder, according to local police.

Windall Herring, 19, and an unnamed 15-year-old were arrested in Baton Rouge on Tuesday for the murder of 55-year-old John Bannon.

The attack occurred near Bannon’s home around 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 1. Bannon was rushed to a hospital trauma unit, but succumbed last Friday to his injuries which included a fractured skull and brain hemorrhaging, according to The (Baton Rouge) Advocate.

“During our investigation we learned that the suspects were having a conversation about ‘who could hit the hardest’ when suddenly the victim was observed walking in close proximity to their location,” Baton Rouge spokesman Cpl. Don Coppola Jr. told The Daily Caller News Foundation. ”It was decided at that moment by the suspects that they were going to target the victim together and intentionally strike him with their fist to determine who in fact could hit the victim the hardest.”

The investigation also led police to believe that the suspects asked Bannon whether he had anything of value on him. The police could not provide if anything of value was taken from him, said Coppola Jr.

Witnesses to the attack said the two suspects fled the scene after throwing the fatal punch....

A conversation to see who could hit harder? Just how many grunts were there in that conversation? MEN would have taken turns hitting each other to find out, but these are just little pussies afraid to get hurt themselves.

All a test to see how much punishment the American people will take before retaliating. Apparently, quite a lot. :(

Why can’t the Police call it what it is: Pre-Meditated Murder?

Would I be racist to inquire as to the race of the victim in this crime?

As far as these two yutes go, I’d rather shoot em and feed them to the hogs. That would not only save them from a further life of crime, but also be beneficial to the hogs.

Thank you. I repeat what I said on another thread, maybe we need a demonstration by all the victims of black criminals.

Maybe we need to start demanding some social justice for the rest of us.

And it’s going to come down to who hit him harder, causing his death. So now each will be denying he’s the strongest.
