Credit: Local 10 News/Coral Springs Police Department Coral Springs, Florida – The Gateway Pundit reported last week a shocking video emerged showing a helpless teen student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (MSD) being ferociously slammed into the ground on his head and then beaten during a brawl.
The victim suffered a skull fracture and multiple other injuries resulting from the vicious assault. The beaten teen was transported to the hospital and is now recovering at home.
Now, justice appears to have arrived for the perpetrators involved, though the father of one of the suspects claims there is more to the story.
As Local 10 News reported, Coral Springs Police have now charged five Florida teenagers involved in the horrific beating. One suspect remains at large.
The teens in custody were identified as 16-year-old Sylvester Hicks, 17-year-old Jahmeer Beauziel, 17-year-old Caleb Hensley, 16-year-old Jordan Thompson, and 15-year-old Chinua Leefatt.

The New York Post reported that officials at MSD and Coral Glades identified the alleged attackers, and police obtained arrest affidavits on Thursday.
Hicks, Leefatt, Thompson, and Hensley were in custody on Friday according to Local 10 News. Beauziel turned himself in on Monday.
Each youth was charged with felony battery.
But the father of one of the suspects dubiously claims the police have it all wrong, and there is evidence that proves his son was acting in self-defense.
Barrington Leefatt, the father of Leeffatt, told Local 10 News reporter Hatzel Vela that the victim instigated the brawl by slugging his son first.
“That boy is not innocent, I’m telling you,” said Leffett.
“So, you’re saying he was attacked first?” asked a surprised Vela.
“He was attacked first. I have video in that,” replied Leffett. “My son is the victim here.”
Marjorie Stoneman Douglas School Principal Michelle Kefford sent a letter to parents last week saying she hopes to expel the youths involved in the assault.
We are also doing everything we can through district processes to ensure these students do not return to our campus.
I lived on Kathy Lane, just a stone’s throw from 441..........
I think there was a similar incident in Las Vegas. The victim died helping out another student. I believe in that case; a perp claimed the second student assulted him first when intervening.
As you recall, in the Parkview shooting, the shooter had numerous run-ins with the school and should have been expelled but it was difficult because he was a member of a protected class. It would have made the expelled statistics appear biased if too many of the protected class were expelled.
I lived in Coral Bay, which was built in 1992 (right in the middle of Hurricane Andrew). It was on the corner of Sample Road and 441.
That was a vacant lot covered in scrub bush and swamp in 1979..................
I’ll Bet! :-)
One white kid attacks and hits 5 black kids.......
OKAAAAYYYYYYY....Sure.......
I remember that particular intersection because roadside vendors/peddlers used to park there and sell various things. I still have a large mirror that I bought from one.............
After this video, I saw this one follow it:
What’s wrong with this guy? Since when is it okay to sucker-punch a girl and make your “get-sway” on a bike? This coward deserves time in jail and his parents should also be on the hook for the crime since he’s under age.
Yes, it was the Vegas incident I heard about on the radio... almost identical.....................
Do you remember the cows on the corner?
When I went to Real Estate school I learned that putting cows on a tract of land lowered your taxes. So there were ten cows (the legal minimum for the acreage) who munched on the weeds all day and did their job lowering taxes. LOL.
I know, it's tough to keep them all straight.
White racist repeatedly hit their fists with his face.
I don't recall any in particular.............
You are right, it was and it is.......................
“I lived in Margate too! We’re neighbors! :-)”
I spent my late teenage years in Margate, and before that, in Lauderhill. We relocated due to the high cost of living. Recently, I’ve heard that Margate and Lauderhill have become less safe.
During my time living in Lauderhill:
I recall my days commuting by bus to the prison called Everglades middle school, where I was one of the very few white students in a predominantly black school (99%). Security checks for weapons were conducted upon entering the school. During lunch and transitions between classes, I had to be vigilant against unexpected punches.
I found myself involved in fights every other day during my time in that hell hole. I have been beaten down so many times, I learned to throw the first punch and use any available weapon (chair, stick, bat) to defend myself. The most racist people I have every meet in my lifetime live in Broward County. I will never move back. No PSD here.
I was about a block from 441 on SouthGate.
“Barrington Leefatt, the father of Leeffatt, told Local 10 News reporter Hatzel Vela that the victim instigated the brawl by slugging his son first.”
Self defense is not mobbing someone with 5 guys and nearly killing him because he took a swing at you.
There used to be a bagel restaurant right on 441 near there that I would eat at regularly................
Africans NEVER fight one on one, always in gangs, just like the pack animals of their homeland.
