Texas Man Beaten To Death For Asking Teen To Slow Down

Texas man beaten to death for asking teen to stop speeding | kvue.com | State News

Quote:
WYLIE - Police say a 28-year-old Wylie man was beaten to death by a group of teens all because he asked them to stop speeding near his home.

Since June, Jonathan Bird lived on South Third Street with his fiancé, Coti Duer, and cared for her three kids like they were his own.

"What these kids did was senseless," Duer said. "He he didn't fight back because they were kids."

Bird had just returned home from a fishing trip Saturday night with Duer's oldest son when the altercation happened.

"He phone called me that they were home so we could head home to meet them," Duer said. "And within five minutes of that phone call,

I received a phone call from my 14-year old-son - hysterical - that Jonathan wasn't breathing and he had got beat up."

Just before midnight, police said a driver of a 2002 Dodge Ram sped around a corner near the Bird-Duer home with his tires squealing. Bird asked him to slow down.

"They didn't like it that he told them to slow down," said Det. Venece Perepickza, a Wylie police spokeswoman. "Within minutes, he was back with a truckload full of people and they literally beat him to death."

A friend ran outside to break up the fight and called 911, but Bird was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The five suspects were arrested within hours. Four of them were only 16 years old. Police said they were neighborhood kids.

"There was a witness that actually saw them fleeing in their truck and he could identify two of them by name," Perepickza said.

The fifth suspect was 17-year-old Ethan Dorris. All of the teens were charged with murder.

This was the second tragic loss for the Duer family this year.

"First they lost their father; now, they've lost their father figure for a second time, eight months to the exact date," Duer said.

The children's biological father was named Jonathan as well.
Juveniles or not, life in adult prison for this stupid, senseless act might just be the ticket. The next 5-10 years of getting butt raped every night for this would be good punishment.

That is horrible.

I agree, 10 yr minimum, then after that "Your free to go! Straight to Ol Sparky' or just let a couple of the inmates beat them to death after they have 'settled in'. I'm sure you could find a few guys on death-row who would take pleasure in it.

(1) - I'll never have the attitude "this is just a kid, I don't want to hurt him". Not these days. If I feel the least bit threatened, I'll act out with full death intended. Damned if I'll put my life at risk. These days, teens will kill you and laugh while they're doing it. And video-taping it, too.

(2) - The world has too many people in it. I know it's extreme but this is exactly why I believe in the death penalty. There are enough people in the world so getting rid of some who have shown no regard for fellow humans wouldn't bother me in the least.

This goes back to teens having no value to life - either their own or that of someone else. Where did society go wrong?





Chuck, I agree with your first point . . . and am starting to see your second point more clearly!

I disagree - they'll be running for their lives (or, at least, their virginity!)

But seriously, lock these f-ups away for a good long time...as they say on Chappelle's show - "Plenty of time to lift weights and convert to Islam!"

So.....why would you be going fast enough to illicit that sort of response in your neighborhood, or any neighborhood at all?

There's a few people that walk on the roads around my house that get pissed if you pass them going any faster than 25mph. Guess that's the price I pay for living in a hood with a lot of rich old people.


I'm sure the fact that I typically roll by blasting something like Lamb of God or Black Dahlia Murder doesn't help either.

Kids will be kids, every 16 year old speeds... except apparently kids these days think killing teh person who yelled "slow down" is appropriate and that is why I say fuck them, send them to prison for life without the possibility for parole. I agree with the death penalty, but with them being so young I feel that's getting off easy. Grow up in prison getting your shit pushed in you little cowards.
