Another Hit to the Narrative

Jonathan Lewis stood up for a smaller friend who was being bullied and a group of thugs killed him for it.

Remember the name Jonathan Lewis. Jonathan was a 17-year-old high school student who had the courage to do the right thing. He stood up for a smaller friend who was being bullied and a group of thugs killed him for it.

This terrible attack occurred in Las Vegas on November 1st. Odds are you haven’t heard about it at all. Maybe you’ve seen a passing reference. Lewis intervened when he saw one his friends get put into a trash can by a gang of teenagers, and the mob turned on him.

There is video of the vicious attack. At least 10 other students knocked him down and kicked him in the head. The attack went on long after Lewis fell to the ground. He was on life support for days and ultimately died from his injuries a week later.

Why does something so horrific not become national news like the video of George Floyd being held down by an officer, which resulted in his death? There’s not an American alive who hasn’t seen that video multiple times.

Well, the Floyd video was weaponized by the left to smear America and impose a narrative on us that our country and the world are divided between the oppressed and the oppressors.

The oppressed are people of color, sexual minorities, Muslims, etc. The oppressors are white, heterosexuals or cisgenders as we’re now called (it’s meant to sound weird) and, depending on the issue, Jews and Asians, who are considered to be “white adjacent” because both communities value hard work and academic achievement.

This murder in Las Vegas doesn’t help that narrative at all. The feral pack of thugs who beat Jonathan Lewis to death were minorities. Lewis, the boy who was murdered, was white.

Universally, every “mainstream” media outlet, every social justice warrior and every church committed to “social justice” has ignored this story about the death of this young man from a working-class family.

His life doesn’t matter. He’s not helpful to anyone. If anything, he complicates things for the left.

Meanwhile, every decent person — black, white, Hispanic, Asian — in Las Vegas who knows about this incident is mortified. They know that in real life, the world isn’t divided between “the oppressors” and “the oppressed.” It’s divided between thugs and decent people of all races.

And that’s the most important point.

Fox News showed the video of Lewis’s attack at least twice Tuesday. Maybe it’s just a coincidence (I can’t help but think that there is a connection), but law enforcement officials have just announced that eight juveniles (ages 13 to 17) masquerading as human beings were arrested and are facing murder charges.

The police are also reportedly investigating to determine if this attack was a hate crime. Gee, you think?!
