Quanell X further contends that the five white students made true on their threats and jumped the teen. From the altercation the victim suffered a concussion.
X read threats from a screenshot of the series of posts on social media.
“One student posted, ‘What’s good little n***** talk s*** get ganged,’” offered X. “’Once we kill him, we’ll throw him off a top.’ Look at this, they’re talking about killing this kid and what they would do with his body after they killed the kid,”

The community activist claims that teen was, unfortunately, not protected by school administrators and that the white students were not disciplined.
“One Black kid lured across the street and jumped by at least five white boys. We know for a fact three of them are still in school till this day and two others were allowed to transfer,” Quanell X said.
“They have separated her son, put him in ISS (in-school suspension) for the fight. The only Black kid that was jumped by five white kids, he’s in ISS. None of them are in ISS, not one,” he added.
