Would you let someone run up to you and squirt you with a water gun and not rough them up a bit for doing it?
If I hurt them so badly that they died I would deserve to be charged with involuntary man slaughter. Not a smart thing to do over a damn water gun.
The racial angle is really irrelevant here. He shouldn't have shot them with water and they shouldn't have stomped him to death.
One sounds like a bigger crime to me.
Tbf I'm reading conflicting reports from the same source on the issue. For me if you hit them and they banged their head in this scenario I'd say you're okay for me but if you were stomping on them on the ground then you wouldn't be

I would say involuntary man slaughter on the first one or higher if they really stomped on him.
I don’t believe the stomps resulted in his death. It probably should have been agg assault for all of them.
They didn’t stomp him to death though. He died when his head hit the pavement after being knocked out. Which was the result of a fight that the victim sought out and created.
It was reported that they stomped on him which is evidence that it wasn't just a freak accident.
I don't like that as a law really. If you punch someone then it wouldn't be classed as much of anything in this scenario, just because you're unlucky and they fall badly and die I don't see why the punishment should be different when the act is the same
It wasn’t a freak accident. It was a fight that the victim sought out and instigated.
If it was just a punch and he banged his head I wouldn't even press charges tbh. Stomping changes it.
It started with a water gun. The fight seemed to start when the 3 men went after them.
Are you being intentionally dense or are you really this dumb? Shooting someone in the face with a gel gun is instigating a fight.

Oh the article I saw said they stomped him to death.
Of course. As soon as some teenagers shoot me with water I get to beat the hell out of them right? Grow up.

Here is some more info to read. Clearly shows the pranksters didn't want to fight and the murderers even took the car after.
Don't forget about the shoeprint on his chest!One of them could still be retried.
The jury could not reach a verdict on the first count of involuntary manslaughter. He was found not guilty on the second count of involuntary manslaughter.
It is unclear whether prosecutors will attempt to take him to trial again on the first charge. The 20-year-old was found guilty of aggravated assault and assault. His bond was revoked and he was taken into custody.
Also from the article. Not quite the beating that TS alleged.
Liming died when his head hit the pavement after being punched in the face, according to authorities. The medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.
According to the medical examiner’s report, Liming’s injuries included “relatively superficial injuries to the face, torso, legs, arms and left hand.”
